Q2. What future works have the authors mentioned in the paper "A 1,000-loci transcript map of the barley genome: new anchoring points for integrative grass genomics" ?
In conclusion, the presented 1,000 loci transcript map of barley represents a valuable resource for targeted marker saturation and identiWcation of candidate genes at agronomically important loci, as a grid of anchor points for detailed studies in comparative grass genomics, and as a foundation for linking genetic map information to a future physical map of the barley genome.
Q3. Why have RFLPs been used in barley?
Prior to the availability of PCR-based marker techniques RFLPs have been most widely used because of their simple development and their reproducibility.
Q4. How many markers were used to develop functional maps of barley?
As to barley, Wrst functional maps were developed using SSR- (185 markers, Varshney et al. 2006) or SNPmarkers (333 markers, Rostoks et al. 2005).
Q5. How many ESTs were assigned to rice?
475 (46%) barley ESTs were assigned to syntenic linkage groups of rice according to the commonly accepted circular model of grass genome colinearity (for review see: Devos 2005; Moore et al. 1995).
Q6. How many RFLP maps have been constructed in barley?
Several detailed RFLP maps have been constructed in barley comprising together more than 1,000 diVerent markers (Kleinhofs and Graner 2001).
Q7. How many markers were mapped in two or all three populations?
41 of the newly derived EST-based ‘GB’-markers and 5 EST-based cMWG markers were mapped in two or all three populations, respectively, giving a total of 116 anchor markers (in total 119 loci: the three markers ABG500, GBR0086, MWG555 were mapped at two loci each; ESM Tables 5 and 6).
Q8. How many ESTs were found in the rice genome?
In the closely related allo-hexaploid bread wheat (T. aestivum), which shares a colinear organisation to barley for most parts of its genome, 6,426 ESTs (18,785 loci, status: February 2, 2004, http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/NSF/progress_mapping.
Q9. How many loci were skewed towards the parental genotype?
In I/F this applied to 143 out of all 306 loci (47%) with 44 loci being skewed towards the parental genotype ‘Franka’ and 101 towards ‘Igri’, respectively.
Q10. How many EST markers were placed on a consensus map of barley?
As a Wrst step towards a comprehensive transcript map of barley, more than 330 EST-derived SNP markers were placed on a consensus map derived from three mapping populations (Rostoks et al. 2005).
Q11. What is the reason for the lack of colinearity of rice markers?
The seeming lack of colinearity to rice at telomeric ends of some barley chromosomes is basically an eVect of low marker density combined with large genetic distances in these map regions rather than a true proof of lack of syntenyobvious colinear pattern in the corresponding rice chromosomes (Fig. 3).
Q12. What is the main region of colinear marker arrangements to rice?
The main regions of colinear marker arrangements to rice, which are represented by the current barley marker data set, are given as schematic illustrations for each barley chromosome consensus map after conWrming colinearity of marker order in the individual maps b–h Barley genetic chromosome maps areshown as dark grey bars whereas rice physical chromosome maps are given as open bars.
Q13. How many RFLP markers were mapped in the populations I/F, S/M?
Out of the 607 loci, 168, 172, and 295 were mapped in the populations I/F, S/M, and D/R, respectively (Table 2) with 13 markers detecting either two and 5 markers detecting three polymorphic loci, respectively (ESM Table 3).
