Genomics-Assisted Analysis and Exploitation of Barley Diversity

我们建议测量野生和半野生大麦的生物多样性的详细模式，并确定有用的性状用于育种计划。我们的主要重点将是在面对气候变化的情况下，对可持续的、环境友好的作物生产至关重要的性状。我们建议通过将高通量基因组学与遗传学和表型分析（测量植物和相应作物的物理特性）中的传统技能相结合来实现这一目标。

We propose to measure the detailed pattern of biodiversity in wild and semi-wild barley and identify useful traits for use in breeding programs. Our primary focus will be on traits that are essential for sustainable, environmentally benign crop production in the face of climate change. We propose to achieve this by combining high throughput genomics with traditional skills in genetics and phenotyping (measuring the physical properties of the plants and the corresponding crop).
