Journal ArticleDOI

Luke Ramsay,Jordi Comadran,Arnis Druka,David Marshall,William T. B. Thomas,Malcolm Macaulay,Katrin MacKenzie,Craig G. Simpson,John Fuller,Nicola Bonar,Patrick M. Hayes,Udda Lundqvist,Jerome D. Franckowiak,Timothy J. Close,Gary J. Muehlbauer,Robbie Waugh +15 more
TL;DR: It is shown that INT-C is an ortholog of the maize domestication gene TEOSINTE BRANCHED 1 (TB1) and 17 coding mutations in barley TB1 correlated with lateral spikelet fertility phenotypes are identified and identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Dissection of Barley Morphology and Development
Arnis Druka,Jerome D. Franckowiak,Udda Lundqvist,Nicola Bonar,Jill Alexander,Kelly Houston,Slobodanka Radovic,Fahimeh Shahinnia,Vera Vendramin,Michele Morgante,Nils Stein,Robbie Waugh +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown how the gene content in these segments can be predicted through conservation of synteny with model cereal genomes, providing a route to rapid gene identification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homology of AFLP products in three mapping populations of barley
TL;DR: Segregation of 850 polymorphic AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) fragments was followed in three different doubled haploid barley populations, Dicktoo, Igri and Blenheim, which had previously been used to construct linkage maps using other molecular markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in the interaction between alleles of HvAPETALA2 and microRNA172 determines the density of grains on the barley inflorescence
Kelly Houston,Sarah M. McKim,Jordi Comadran,Nicola Bonar,Ilze Druka,Nicola Uzrek,Elisa Cirillo,Justyna Guzy-Wrobelska,Nicholas C. Collins,Claire Halpin,Mats Hansson,Christoph Dockter,Arnis Druka,Robbie Waugh +13 more
TL;DR: HvAP2 turnover driven by microRNA 172 regulates the length of a critical developmental window that is required for elongation of the inflorescence internodes, leading to the striking differences in the size and shape of the barley spike.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploiting regulatory variation to identify genes underlying quantitative resistance to the wheat stem rust pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici in barley.
Arnis Druka,Elena Potokina,Zewei Luo,Nicola Bonar,Ilze Druka,Ling Zhang,David Marshall,Brian J. Steffenson,Timothy J. Close,Roger P. Wise,Andris Kleinhofs,Robert W. Williams,Michael J. Kearsey,Robbie Waugh +13 more
TL;DR: By combining the data with additional published mRNA profiling data sets, a putative sensory transduction histidine kinase is identified as a strong candidate for a novel resistance locus on chromosome 2H and candidate gene lists for the other three loci are compiled.
