TL;DR: It is demonstrated how sequenced RAD markers can be leveraged to produce high quality linkage maps for detection of single gene loci and QTLs.

TL;DR: Selective genotyping and/or selective phenotyping approaches could be effective strategies for reducing the costs associated with conducting QTL analysis in large populations using the barley/barley stripe rust pathosystem to evaluate the effect of population size on the estimation of QTL parameters.

TL;DR: A phenotypically polymorphic barley mapping population was developed using morphological marker stocks as parents and several molecular markers were found to be closely linked to morphological loci, aiding in map-based cloning of genes controlling morphological traits.

TL;DR: It is shown that intron length variation in VRN-H1 may account for a continuum of vernalization sensitivity, and molecular markers that are accurate predictors of “winter vs spring type” alleles at the VRN -H loci are provided.

TL;DR: The results indicate that combining qualitative and quantitative resistance in the same genotype is feasible, however, the durability of such resistance pyramids will require challenge from virulent isolates, which currently are not reported in North America.
