Abstract

An integrated barley transcript map (consensus map) comprising 1,032 expressed sequence tag (EST)-based markers (total 1,055 loci: 607 RFLP, 190 SSR, and 258 SNP), and 200 anchor markers from previously published data, has been generated by mapping in three doubled haploid (DH) populations. Between 107 and 179 EST-based markers were allocated to the seven individual barley linkage groups. The map covers 1118.3 cM with individual linkage groups ranging from 130 cM (chromosome 4H) to 199 cM (chromosome 3H), yielding an average marker interval distance of 0.9 cM. 475 EST-based markers showed a syntenic organisation to known colinear linkage groups of the rice genome, providing an extended insight into the status of barley/rice genome colinearity as well as ancient genome duplications predating the divergence of rice and barley. The presented barley transcript map is a valuable resource for targeted marker saturation and identification of candidate genes at agronomically important loci. It provides new anchor points for detailed studies in comparative grass genomics and will support future attempts towards the integration of genetic and physical mapping information.

ESM Figure 1: Distribution along the barley consensus genetic map of mapped barley ESTs with or without sequence homology to the rice genome.Barley ESTs underlying GB and cMWG markers of this study were classified as showing homology or no homology to the rice genome (BLASTN E-value ≤ 1E-10 or > 1E-10, respectively). Based on their genetic postion they were grouped into bins of 20 cM (y-axis = number of ESTs, x-axis = genetic length given in cM). The distribution of ESTs without rice homology (upper panel of the histogram) was plotted against the distribution of ESTs showing homology to rice (lower panel of the histogram). The distribution of both classes of ESTs was following a very similar pattern along all chromosomes – no significantly different clustering to specific chromosomal regions could be observed.
