Scanning for Genes Associated to Some Agronomic Traits in Barley

Genome wide association scan approach achieved several successes in many organisms through the identification of experimentally determined associations. We utilized a collection of European barley cultivars previously phenotyped for flowering date, plant height, and grain yield under two watering regimes over three successive years. That was to highlight loci subtending mentioned agronomic traits. Our germplasm collection was genotyped with iSELECT Infinium® Illumina 9k SNP platform. Important and novel loci controlling the studied traits were identified utilizing the general linear model by Tassel software. Our results provide a starting point for the identification of potentially useful genes and markers for future applications in barley breeding schemes.
