TLDR
The results indicate that the process of cultivation has had a noticeable effect on flavonoid synthesis in barley leaves and they confirm the taxonomic status of the H. vulgare complex from all the other species.
Abstract
Seven flavonoids have been identified variously in leaf extracts of 18 wild Hordeum species. Six are C-glycosylflavones. namely isovitexin. iso-orientin and iso-orientin 3′-methyl ether and the respective 7-0-glucosides. The seventh is the flavone 0-glucoside. tricin 5-glucoside. Several other C-glycosylflavones based on iso-orientin 3′-methyl ether are present in trace amounts. The pattern is essentially a simple one, with little variation between species. It contrasts markedly with the much more complex pattern of flavonoids found in different races of cultivated barley. The results indicate that the process of cultivation has had a noticeable effect on flavonoid synthesis in barley leaves and they confirm the taxonomic separation of the H. vulgare complex from all the other species.

Intraspecific flavonoid variation

TL;DR: This review is concerned with variation of flavonoid patterns within species, and eight categories of variation are discussed: qualitatively invariant pigment profiles, 2) quantitative variation, 3) flavonoids races that do not correspond to recognized taxonomic groups, 4) Flavonoid races that does correspond to recognizing taxonomicgroups, 5) flav onoid profile differences between different ploidy levels, 6) differences between organs or between tissues, and 8) environmentally influenced flavonoidal profiles.

A differential rate of regional distribution of barley flavonoid patterns in Ethiopia, and a view on the center of origin of barley.

TL;DR: The concept for the centre of origin of barley is discussed, the ruling out of the possibility of Ethiopia being the centre for barley is questioned, and the need for archaelogical and genetical evidence on this issue is highly recommended.

Flavonoid variations in Avena species

TL;DR: Twenty-five Avena species were investigated for their flavonoids and four new species were identified, including vitexin 2″-rhamnoside and tricin 7-diglucoside, which are cytogenetically Similar to Avena 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The time rate and mechanism of chromosome elimination in Hordeum hybrids

TL;DR: It is suggested that chromosome elimination in Hordeum hybrids may be caused by a disturbed control of protein metablism in hybrid seeds and perhaps H. bulbosum chromosomes are selectively eliminated because they are less efficient than H. vulgare chromosomes at forming normal attachments to spindle protein.
