Abstract
Barley is the second most important cereal crop in Britain, yet marker assisted selection during breeding is not very widely used since current maps are highly cross specific. We propose to use an approach termed Small Cross Mapping in order to maximise the number of double haploid genotypes that can be analysed for polymorphism and phenotypic linkage to agronomic and processing traits. Crosses will be grown at two locations and analysed at three leading institutions. Genotypes will be analysed using SSRs, in order to create a robust framework of anchor loci, which will allow cross reference to complementary IRAP and REMAP analysis. This work will result in the map location of, and linked markers for, genes regulating crop quality parameters in barley.
