Article Abstract
Barley is one of the most important cereal crops in the world, and its value as a food is constantly being revealed, so the research into and the use of barley germplasm are very important for global food security. Although a large number of barley germplasm samples have been collected globally, their specific genetic compositions are not well understood, and in many cases their origins are even disputed. In this study, 183 barley germplasm samples from the Shanghai Agricultural Gene Bank were genotyped using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology, SNPs were identified and their genetic parameters were estimated, principal component analysis (PCA) was preformed, and the phylogenetic tree and population structure of the samples were also analyzed. In addition, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was carried out for the hulled/naked grain trait, and a KASP marker was developed using an associated SNP. The results showed that a total of 181,906 SNPs were identified, and these barley germplasm samples could be roughly divided into three categories according to the phylogenetic analysis, which was generally consistent with the classification of the traits of row type and hulled/naked grain. Population structure analysis showed that the whole barley population could be divided into four sub-populations (SPs), the main difference from previous classifications being that the two-rowed and the hulled genotypes were sub-divided into two SPs. The GWAS analysis of the hulled/naked trait showed that many associated loci were unrelated to the / locus, indicating that there might be new loci controlling the trait. A KASP marker was developed for one exon-type SNP on chromosome 7. Genotyping based on the KASP assay was consistent with that based on SNPs, indicating that the gene of this locus might be associated with the hulled/naked trait. The above work not only lays a good foundation for the future utilization of this barley germplasm population but it provides new loci and candidate genes for the hulled/naked trait.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare) is one of the oldest founder crops in early human civilization, and has been widely dispersed around the globe to supply human life through livestock feeding and brewing industries. It has been used in innovative research of cytogenetics, biochemistry, and genetics since the early half of the 20 century, facilitated by its mode of reproduction through self-pollination, its true diploid status which has contributed to the accumulation of a plethora of germplasm and mutant resources.

A broadly targeted metabolomics approach based on UPLC-MS/MS was employed to investigate the changes in chemical composition and in vitro activity of highland barley Monascus tea decoction before and after simulated digestion. The characteristic metabolites of the tea decoction before and after in vitro-simulated digestion were identified, and the in vitro antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of the tea decoction were further analyzed. The study detected 1431 metabolites, including amino acids and their derivatives, alkaloids, organic acids, nucleotides and their derivatives, lipids, terpenoids, and phenolic acids.

Background: The Myeloblastosis related (MYB) family is one of the most widely distributed transcription factor families in plants and plays a significant role in plant growth and development, hormone signal transduction, and stress response. There are many reports on MYB family species, but the research on Qingke is still limited.
Methods: This study used comparative genomics methods to analyze gene and protein structure, protein physicochemical properties, chromosome localization, and evolution.

The Jiani yak is a nationally renowned species that is known for its meat which is rich in various minerals, amino acids, and proteins. The rumen microbiota plays a critical role in gastrointestinal health and feed degradation, contributing proteins, lipids, and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) essential for milk and meat production. However, there is limited knowledge about the microbiota of free-ranging Jiani yaks, especially those with 15 ribs.
