Molecular markers for salt tolerant wild barley Hordeum spontaneum

چکیده
The present study aims at detecting molecular markers, based on RAPD, ISSR and AFLP, for the salttolerant wild barley Hordeum spontaneum as a little is known about its genetic structure and function. Barley is one of the most important cereal crops all over the world. Therefore, the identification of molecular markers for the salttolerant wild species is crucial for the future development of tolerant domesticated varieties of H. vulgare. For comparison, the study involved seven domesticated barley cultivars. Across the three types of molecular markers, a total of 26 species-specific distinguished H. spontaneum from H. vulgare. RAPD markers revealed the highest expected heterozygosity He, E and marker index (MI) values, while ISSR indicated the lowest values. These results indicate the reliability of ISSR as a molecular marker in distinguishing wild and cultivated barley species. Some of these markers can be linked to salt stress tolerance genes in H. spontaneum that can be transferred to domesticated barley (H. vulgare) through marker-assisted selection (MAS). [A.

On the origin and domestication history of Barley (Hordeum vulgare).
Remains of barley (Hordeum vulgare) grains found at archaeological sites in the Fertile Crescent indicate that about 10,000 years ago the crop was domesticated there from its wild relative Hordeum spontaneum. The domestication history of barley is revisited based on the assumptions that DNA markers effectively measure genetic distances and that wild populations are genetically different and the...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and yield are depressed by physical and chemical interference of weeds. Recently, wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) population has increased in wheat fields of many provinces of Iran. Since, little is known about the allelopathic effects of wild barley residues in soil, greenhouse studies were conducted to examine the effects of soil amended residues of wild barl...

In this study we report the development of primers to amplify polymorphic chloroplast simple sequence repeats in the genus Hordeum, which includes cultivated barley (H. vulgare ssp. vulgare) and its wild progenitor H. vulgare ssp. spontaneum. Polymorphic products were amplified in a wide range of Hordeum spp. and intraspecific variation was detected in both cultivated and wild barley. A decreas...
