Download or read book The Barley Genome written by Nils Stein and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of the state-of-the-art in barley genome analysis, covering all aspects of sequencing the genome and translating this important information into new knowledge in basic and applied crop plant biology and new tools for research and crop improvement. Unlimited access to a high-quality reference sequence is removing one of the major constraints in basic and applied research. This book summarizes the advanced knowledge of the composition of the barley genome, its genes and the much larger non-coding part of the genome, and how this information facilitates studying the specific characteristics of barley. One of the oldest domesticated crops, barley is the small grain cereal species that is best adapted to the highest altitudes and latitudes, and it exhibits the greatest tolerance to most abiotic stresses. With comprehensive access to the genome sequence, barley’s importance as a genetic model in comparative studies on crop species like wheat, rye, oats and even rice is likely to increase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic diversity is one of the main resources sustaining human life. Food security largely depends on the availability and utilization of this diversity, which is of strategic importance for countries and companies. Conservation and utilization of biodiversity is thus currently an urgent area of global debate and concern. Barley is a major crop in the world used for food, feed and malt, and with a wide religious and ethnic importance. The crop was domesticated in Neolithic time in SW Asia and spread rapidly under cultivation to new areas. Nowadays it is one of the most widespread and widely adapted crops grown under contrasting edaphic conditions. Adaptations to new environments, different agricultural practices and selection for different uses have further added to the complex diversity pattern. Is it at all possible to give a complete picture of the diversity in a crop or wild species? Are we, by adding new technologies, only revealing parts of the diversity? Do different sets of data show similar or conflicting pictures of genetic diversity? Will the large genome size reduce the role of barley as a model organism in these current sequencing days? Or, are there still major reasons to continue to work with this beautiful crop? The aim of this book is to cover the complex issue of diversification in time and space in a single crop: barley. Leading scientists from various fields describe the entire variation pattern in different sets of characters and an attempt is made for a synthesis to a holistic picture. The book proposes ways to use the achievements of diversity studies in future research and breeding programmes.

Download or read book Inheritance of Plant Height in Barley Hordeum Vulgare L Emed LAM written by Ali Bayraktar and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four, six-rowed, spring barley cultivars were used as parental material in this study. The parents were distinctly different in plant height. Washington-6124-62 is a standard height selection while Short Wocus and Minn. 66-102 are intermediate. The fourth parent was a dwarf selection obtained from India. The two intermediate cultivars and the dwarf cultivar were crossed to the tall parent, Wa-6124-62, with a portion of the F1 progeny backcrossed to the shorter parent. In addition, the intermediate parent, Short Wocus, was crossed to Indian Dwarf. The following generations were available for study: parents, BC1F1, F1, and F2. The purpose of this study was to obtain information concerning the inheritance of plant height and to determine when selection for this trait could be made in the breeding program most effectively. To achieve this objective heritability and the mode of gene action were studied as well as number of genes segregating for plant height. The effect of temperature on plant height was also investigated in a growth chamber utilizing two temperature levels, 19° C and 30° C. Plant height was recorded on an individual plant basis at two sites that were distinctly different environmentally and in the growth chamber. The number of nodes were counted, and the length of internodes measured for genetic interpretation of culm length. Broad sense heritability values for plant height of each cross were estimated by using the variance of parents, F1's and F2' s. Heritability values were quite high in the F2 generation ranging from 50 to 90 percent, and suggest that plant phenotype gave a relatively good indication of the genotype for plant height. Height of the F1 plants was between the mid-parent and tall parent indicating partial dominance for tall culm length. In earlier studies, many investigators found that additive gene action was the major component of genetic variability for plant height. Results obtained from this study suggest that the nature of gene action is a function of the parents used. Where large differences exist between parents, plant height appeared to be largely influenced by non-additive gene action. When the parents were similar in height the trait was controlled mainly by additive gene action. Fairly discrete height classes in the segregating populations indicated that plant height was controlled by only a few genetic factors in these populations. Ratios obtained from segregating populations suggested the presence of three recessive genetic factors for short height in the dwarf parent (Indian Dwarf). The tall parent, Wa-6124-62, and intermediate parent, Minn. 66-102, appeared to differ for plant height by one major genetic factor. Difference in height among the cultivars was mostly due to difference in internode length rather than the number of nodes. It was concluded that the rather simple inheritance of plant height in barley will allow effective selection in the F2 generation for short stature, and progress to develop semi-dwarf barley cultivars should be possible if stiffness of straw can also be obtained along with short stature. In the cross between the tall and dwarf parent, selection for intermediate plant height would be more effective if delayed for several generations of selfing due to the relatively large dominance component of genetic variance.
