Article Synopsis
- Pre-harvest sprouting causes major economic losses in the grain industry, mainly due to insufficient seed dormancy during wet conditions.
- A significant QTL on barley chromosome 5H has been identified that influences both seed dormancy and pre-harvest sprouting, explaining over 70% of the variation in these traits.
- Comparative genomics with barley, wheat, and rice helped identify a candidate gene, GA20-oxidase, linked to seed dormancy, highlighting synteny among these crops.
