Wild barley relatives
Barley is one of the world\u2019s oldest and most important cultivated cereal grains. But it\u2019s long history of domestication has resulted in greatly reduced genetic diversity, which isn\u2019t ideal for plant breeding efforts. So, in this episode, Che-Wei Chang and Prof. Karl Schmid (University of Hohenheim) discuss their quest to find useful genetic variation in wild barley relatives.
This episode explores the recent Heredity paper: \u201cPhysical geography, isolation by distance and environmental variables shape genomic variation of wild barley (Hordeum vulgare L. ssp. spontaneum) in the Southern Levant\u201d https://www.nature.com/articles/s41437-021-00494-x
