AbstractTo exploit allelic variation in Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum, the Wild Barley Diversity Collection was evaluated for several agronomic traits and subjected to paired-end Illumina sequencing at ~9X depth, generating 109.5 million single nucleotide polymorphisms after alignment to the Morex v3 assembly. A genome-wide association study of lemma color identified one marker-trait association (MTA) on chromosome 1HL close to HvBlp, the cloned gene controlling black lemma.
