Development and implementation of high-throughput SNP genotyping in barley
2009
Abstract Background High density genetic maps of plants have, nearly without exception, made use of marker datasets containing missing or questionable genotype calls derived from a variety of genic and non-genic or anonymous markers, and been presented as a single linear order of genetic loci for each linkage group. The consequences of missing or erroneous data include falsely separated markers, expansion of cM distances and incorrect marker order. These imperfections are amplified in consensus maps and problematic when fine resolution is critical including comparative genome analyses and map-based cloning. Here we provide a new paradigm, a high-density consensus genetic map of barley based…
Genetic Diversity in Latvian Spring Barley Association Mapping Population
2012
Certified organic crop area is continuously increasing in European Union and in Latvia (Eurostat data), despite somewhat lower yield and higher potential for disease damage in organic farming. It is increasingly recognized that breeding varieties for organic farming requires focus on specific traits that may be less important under conventional agriculture. Molecular markers are becoming essential tools for plant breeding allowing reducing time and cost of development of new varieties by early selection of progeny with desired traits. However, there is lack of information on molecular markers for traits that may be important for organic farming, such as plant morphological traits ensuring c…
