    The aim of the paper under review is to show how the quantum Chevalley formula for \(G/B\), as stated by \textit{D. Peterson} [Lectures on quantum cohomology of \(G/B\), MIT (1996)] and proved rigurously by \textit{W. Fulton} and \textit{C. Woodward} [On quantum product of Schubert classes, Preprint, \texttt{http://arxiv.org/abs/math.AG/0112183}], combined with some ideas of \textit{S. Fomin}, \textit{S. I. Gelfand} and \textit{A. Postnikov} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 10, 565--596 (1997; Zbl 0912.14018)], leads to a formula which describes polynomial representatives of the Schubert cohomology classes in the canonical presentation of \(QH^*(G/B)\) in terms of generators and relations. The formula obtained generalizes some results of Fomin, Gelfand and Postnikov from the above mentioned paper.
