Grain number, size and weight primarily determine the yield of barley. Although the genes
regulating grain number are well studied in barley, the genetic loci and the causal gene for …

Flowering time and plant height are two critical determinants of yield potential in barley
(Hordeum vulgare). Despite their role in plant physiological regulation, a complete overview …

Meiotic recombination is not only a key mechanism for sexual adaptation in eukaryotes but
crucial for the accumulation of beneficial alleles in breeding populations. The effective …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a major cereal grain with uses in the feed, food, and malting
industries. Growth habit, seed dormancy, and disease resistance are important …

It has recently been shown that structural variants (SV) can have a higher impact on gene
expression variation compared to single nucleotide variants (SNV) in different plant species …

Epigenetic variation contributes to explaining the missing heritability of complex traits. In
order to understand the genome-wide methylation variation in spring barley, our objectives …

The language of genetic code embodies a complex grammar and rich syntax of interacting
molecular elements. In this regard, the standard additive marker encoding scheme's inability …

DNA copy numbers have recently emerged as an important new marker system. In the
absence of a contiguous reference genome, alternative detection systems such as the …

Structural variation plays an important role in plant genome architecture and phenotypes. It
is also suggested to be a new type of DNA marker for genomic selection in plant breeding …

Plants are remarkably able to colonize and succeed in a wide variety of environments. The
number and types of genetic changes that contribute to adaptation to different areas of …
