Open AccessGenome-wide prediction methods for detecting genetic effects of donor chromosome segments in introgression populations
Introgression populations are used to make the genetic variation of unadapted germplasm or wild relatives of crops available for plant breeding. They consist of introgression lines that carry small chromosome ...

Open AccessGenome-wide association studies for agronomical traits in a world wide spring barley collection
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) provide a promising tool for the detection and fine map** of quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying complex agronomic traits. In ...

Open AccessAssociation analysis of frost tolerance in rye using candidate genes and phenotypic data from controlled, semi-controlled, and field phenoty** platforms
Frost is an important abiotic stress that limits cereal production in the temperate zone. As the most frost tolerant small grain cereal, rye (Secale cereale L.) is an ideal cereal model for investigating the gene...

Open AccessHigh levels of nucleotide diversity and fast decline of linkage disequilibrium in rye (Secale cerealeL.) genes involved in frost response
Rye (Secale cereale L.) is the most frost tolerant cereal species. As an outcrossing species, rye exhibits high levels of intraspecific diversity, which makes it well-suited for allele mining in genes involved in...

Open AccessDNA polymorphisms and haplotype patterns of transcription factors involved in barley endosperm development are associated with key agronomic traits
Association map** is receiving considerable attention in plant genetics for its potential to fine map quantitative trait loci (QTL), validate candidate genes, and identify alleles of interest. In the present...

Open AccessAssociation map** reveals gene action and interactions in the determination of flowering time in barley
The interaction between members of a gene network has an important impact on the variation of quantitative traits, and can influence the outcome of phenotype/genotype association studies. Three genes (Ppd-H1, HvC...

Open AccessHigh level of conservation between genes coding for the GAMYB transcription factor in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) collections
The transcription factor GAMYB is involved in gibberellin signalling in cereal aleurone cells and in plant developmental processes. Nucleotide diversity of HvGAMYB and TaGAMYB was investigated in 155 barley (Hord...
