Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the population structure and genetic diversity of 100 barley lines over three years in Pakistan and China, revealing four main subpopulations and a high level of genetic variation.
- The analysis identified 133 alleles and calculated average gene diversity, supporting the classification of lines into four phylogenetic groups based on SSR marker data.
- The research culminated in the creation of a core set of 20 barley genotypes, highlighting specific SSR markers for traits like malt quality and salinity tolerance, which can enhance marker-assisted breeding.
