Open AccessGET_PANGENES: calling pangenes from plant genome alignments confirms presence-absence variation
Crop pangenomes made from individual cultivar assemblies promise easy access to conserved genes, but genome content variability and inconsistent identifiers hamper their exploration. To address this, we define...

Open AccessGenetic diversity in developmental responses to light spectral quality in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Plants use light wavelength, intensity, direction and duration to predict imminent seasonal changes and to determine when to initiate physiological and developmental processes. Among them, crop responses to li...

Open AccessFine-tuning of the flowering time control in winter barley: the importance of HvOS2 and HvVRN2 in non-inductive conditions
In winter barley plants, vernalization and photoperiod cues have to be integrated to promote flowering. Plant development and expression of different flowering promoter (HvVRN1, HvCO2, PPD-H1, HvFT1, HvFT3) and r...

Resequencing theVrs1 gene in Spanish barley landraces revealed reversion of six-rowed to two-rowed spike
Six-rowed spike 1 (Vrs1) is a gene of major importance for barley breeding and germplasm management as it is the main gene determining spike row-type (2-rowed vs. 6-rowed). This is a widely used DUS trait, and ha...

BARLEYMAP: physical and genetic map** of nucleotide sequences and annotation of surrounding loci in barley
The BARLEYMAP pipeline was designed to map both genomic sequences and transcripts against sequence-enriched genetic/physical frameworks, with plant breeders as the main target users. It reports the most proba...

Selection footprints in barley breeding lines detected by combining genoty**-by-sequencing with reference genome information
This study is a retrospective analysis of an elite cross from the Spanish National Barley Breeding Program. This was the most successful cross produced in the breeding program in the past 20 years. The progeny...

Quantitative trait loci for agronomic traits in an elite barley population for Mediterranean conditions
Advances in plant breeding through marker-assisted selection (MAS) are only possible when genes or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) can contribute to the improvement of elite germplasm. A population of recombina...

Resistance to powdery mildew in one Spanish barley landrace hardly resembles other previously identified wild barley resistances
Two major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with resistance to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei) were previously identified on chromosome 7H of the Spanish barley line SBCC097. The two QTLs...

Barley Adaptation: Teachings from Landraces Will Help to Respond to Climate Change
Adaptation of crops to temperate climates depends to a large extent on plants having the appropriate combination of genes to respond to day length and temperature. Global warming poses new challenges to plant ...

Fine map** and comparative genomics integration of two quantitative trait loci controlling resistance to powdery mildew in a Spanish barley landrace
The intervals containing two major quantitative trait loci (QTL) from a Spanish barley landrace conferring broad spectrum resistance to Blumeria graminis were subjected to marker saturation. First, all the availa...

Introgression of an intermediate VRNH1 allele in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leads to reduced vernalization requirement without affecting freezing tolerance
The process of vernalization is mainly controlled by two genes in winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), VRNH1 and VRNH2. A recessive allele at VRNH1 and a dominant allele at VRNH2 must be present to induce a vernal...

HvFT1 (VrnH3) drives latitudinal adaptation in Spanish barleys
In barley, three genes are responsible for the vernalization requirement: VrnH1, VrnH2 and VrnH3. The winter growth habit of barley requires the presence of a recessive VrnH1 allele, together with an active VrnH2
