Sumario:Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a cool-season vegetable normally classified as a biennial species, requiring vernalization to induce flowering. Nevertheless, some cultivars adapted to warmer climates require less vernalization and can be classified as early-flowering or annual. The main objective was determine the genetic of the trait and find genomic regions involved in carrot vernalization requeriments. We evaluated F1, F2, F3, BC1 and BC2 progenies of an intercross between an annual carrot and a biennial carrot. Observed segregation ratios confirmed that annual habit is dominant over biennial and is a monogenic character. When annual and biennial accessions of different geographic sites, and crosses between them, were evaluated, complete dominance of annual habit and also variability between annual and between biennial accesions was observed. Working with BLAST, a molecular method that relies on overall similarity, we could not identify FLC homologs in carrot genome, a gene that plays a central role in species like Arabidopsis and Brassicas vernalization response. With the construction of a linkage map a genomic region linked to vernalization response in carrot was identified. That region was mapped in a linkage group with 78 molecular markers and flanking markers were at 0.69 and 0.79 cM. This map could be used to develop molecular markers linked to the trait and also in the future to start physical mapping and secuencing using a carrot BAC library.
