Project description:Affymetrix Barley1 GeneChip microarray was used to study the transcriptome of two fast neutron barley mutants FN362 and FN363 allelic to characterized necrotic leaf spot 3 (nec3) mutants. PCR screening of the 21 genes at least two-fold down-regulated in mutants did not show any deletions in the genome of mutants and, thus, failed to identify a gene responsible for the nec3 mutant phenotype suggesting that either probe set for the NEC3 gene is not on the Barley1 GeneChip, or that the expression of wt NEC3 is confined to specific developmental stage or tissue type. Transcriptome of the two barley fast neutron mutants was compared to the transcriptome of parental variety Steptoe
Project description:In the present study, we investigated the transcriptome features during hulless barley grain development. Using Illumina paired-end RNA-Sequencing, we generated two data sets of the developing grain transcriptomes from two hulless barley landraces.
Project description:We hypothesized that the genome segments of cultivated barley should show certain similarity with its ancestral wild barley. Instead of whole genome sequences, we employed RNA-Seq to investigated the genomic origin of modern cultivated barley using some representative wild barley genotypes from the Near East and Tibet, and representative world-wide selections of cultivated barley.

Project description:NILs containing five parental lines, three wild barley genotypes ssp. spontaneum: HID 4 (A), Iraq; HID 64 (B), Turkey; and HID 369 (C), Israel, one ssp. agriocrithon: HID 382(D)) and cv. Morex (ssp. vulgare, USA). Purpose: Variant calling to identifie markers associated with a awn length QTL on the distal part of chromosome 7HL
Project description:Waterlogging is a major abiotic stress causing oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the rhizosphere. Barley is more susceptible to waterlogging stress than other cereals. To gain a better understanding of the effect of waterlogging stress in barley, we carried out a genome-wide gene expression analysis in roots of Yerong and Deder2 barley genotypes under waterlogging and control (well-watered) conditions by RNA-Sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq™ 4000 platform.
