Introduction
barley More than half of Scotland's spring barley production is used in the whisky industry, and barley is one of the most commercially important crops in Britain, worth c. 10 billion per annum.

The cereals research group at the Scottish Crop Research Institute is making a major contribution towards understanding the structure and evolution of the barley genome. This work is generating a large amount of linkage, genotypic, and phenotypic information which needs to be recorded, stored and disseminated. The UK CropNet node at the SCRI will focus on the construction of a genome database devoted to barley.



Available Information
BarleyDB v 1.0

BarleyDB has been expanded considerably by through incorporation of the barley maps, traits, and sequences from public databases. In addition we have details of sequences and primers for almost 480 SSR markers, 370 of which have linkage map locations. The SSR primers and their details are available as an xcel spreadsheet you can download from the SCRI.

In addition to the linkage maps, there are also over 78,000 barley DNA and over 230 barley protein sequences in the database.
