Abstract Barley grain is a valuable source of β-glucan, which is an important
component of dietary fiber with significant human health benefits. Although the
genetic basis of β-glucan biosynthesis has been widely studied, a genome-wide
association study (GWAS) is still required for a scan of the candidate genes
related to the complex quantitative trait based on the high-quality barley reference
genome. In this study, a GWAS was conducted using a population composed of
87 barley landraces (39 hulled and 48 hulless, β-glucan from 2.07% to 6.56%)
with 191,098 nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) markers to cover the chromosomes with the highest density. The… More >
