Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Among the cereal crops, barley is the species with the greatest adaptability to a wide range of environments. To determine the level and structure of genetic diversity in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landraces from the central highlands of Ethiopia, we have examined the molecular variation at seven nuclear microsatellite loci. RESULTS: A total of 106 landrace populations were sampled in the two growing...
