Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: After millennia of cultivation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), hulless barley has developed remarkable adaptability. Decoding its genomic adaptive variations is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms underlying its plateau adaptation. RESULTS: In this study, Genotyping 500 barley accessions generated 12,151 SNPs, revealing two major groups with geographic subdivisions. QTP barley exhibited lower...
