Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A major grain length QTL on chromosome 2H was fine mapped to a 140.9 Kb region containing three genes. Increasing yield is an important target for barley breeding programs. One approach to increase yield is by enhancing individual grain weights through the regulation of grain size. Fine mapping major grain size-related quantitative trait loci is necessary for future marker-assisted selection...
