Integrative Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), Transcriptome, and Sequence Variation Analyses Reveal Candidate Genes Controlling Barley Grain Length.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Grain length is a key determinant of yield and quality in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and is typically governed by complex quantitative traits. METHODS: In this study, a diverse natural population comprising 198 barley accessions was evaluated across two years to investigate the genetic basis of grain length. RESULTS: Phenotypic analysis revealed continuous variation with near-normal distribution,...
