Abstract excerpt
The origin of six-rowed cultivated barley has been revealed to be more complex since the discovery of agriocrithon, a six-rowed barley with brittle rachis. The present study investigates whether such six-rowed brittle barley is wild or hybrid in nature, by analyzing genetic diversity at the cMWG699 marker locus, which is closely linked to the vrs1 (six-row gene) locus. DNA sequence analysis for 42 accessions...
