TLDR
The relationships between all known Hordeum species except H. guatemalense were inferred from the electrophoresis of the six enzyme systems Got, 6-Pgd, Mdh, Idh, a-and B-amylases, and most of the polyploid cytotypes in the genus seemed to have originated as alloploids.
Abstract
The relationships between all known Hordeum species except H. guatemalense were inferred from the electrophoresis of the six enzyme systems Got, 6-Pgd, Mdh, Idh, a-and B-amylases. A total of eleven loci were scored for in these systems. Maximum likelihood clusters and Wagner networks calculated from the electrophoretic data divided the genus into three groups, viz. the “H. vulgare group”, the “H. marinum group” and the “H. pubiflorum group”. Only one of these groups was recognized in the morphological sectioning of the genus. Most of the polyploid cytotypes in the genus seemed to have originated as alloploids. Phylogenetic links between diploid and polyploid taxa are suggested from the enzyme phenotypes. An evolutionary theory for the genus Hordeum is proposed, with two centres of differentiation, in South-West Asia and South America, respectively.

The Use of Molecular and Biochemical Markers in Crop Evolution Studies

TL;DR: When de Candolle (1882) initiated the study of crop evolution, his major concern was to identify the geographic origin, i.e., the domestication center, of individual crops.

Isozymic Evidence and the Evolution of Crop Plants

TL;DR: There is nothing in nature that faintly resembles such human creations as an ear of corn, a head of cauliflower, or the curiously sculptured fruit of an ornamental gourd, but crop species often show such wide morphological departures from their nearest wild relatives that the link between them cannot be established with certainty.

Comparative physical mapping of the 5S and 18S-25S rDNA in nine wild Hordeum species and cytotypes.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the species H. vulgare sensu lato and H. brevisubulatum 4x have a complex evolutionary history, probably involving the multiplication of minor rDNA sites, or the incorporation of both I and H types of genome, and are useful for an investigation of chromosome evolution and phylogeny.

Origin of North American Elymus (Poaceae: Triticeae) Allotetraploids Based on Granule-bound Starch Synthase Gene Sequences

TL;DR: The hypothesis that Pseudoroegneria and Hordeum are the genome donors to the North American Elymus tetraploids supports the hypothesis that groups delimited by cytogenetic data do in fact correspond to evolutionary lineages.

Phylogenetic analysis of the genus Hordeum using repetitive DNA sequences.

TL;DR: A hypothesis concerning the possible origin and phylogeny of the polyploid barley species H. bulbosum is presented, which supports previous molecular studies of barley species where the unique position of H. bulbsum has been pointed out.

TL;DR: Perennials of the tribe Triticeae include many of the world’s important forage grasses and form a vast genetic reservoir that might be used to improve the annual cereals.

Numerical methods for inferring evolutionary trees.

TL;DR: Although existing statistical models are highly oversimplified and do not reflect the complexity of evolutionary processes, it is by viewing the problem as a statistical one that all these methods can be placed in common fremework, within which their behavior and assumptions can be compared.

Systematic Value of Electrophoretic Data

TL;DR: A survey of the literature indicates that when such arrangements are made, they usually correspond very closely to previously recognized relationships of various species groups based on classical systematic criteria, which makes it clear that electrophoretic techniques will provide an extremely valuable tool for systematists.
