Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The early flowering of Lalu was determined to be due to a novel spontaneous eam8 mutation, which resulted in intron retention and the formation of a putative truncated protein. Barley is a staple crop grown over an extensive area in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Understanding the genetic mechanism for its success in a high altitude is important for crop improvement in marginal environments. Early...
