Genome-Wide Characterization of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in a Kazakhstani Two-Row Spring Barley Breeding Panel
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a major cereal in Kazakhstan, where diverse breeding material supports crop improvement. We characterized 86 two-row spring barley accessions from six breeding organizations using the Illumina Infinium 50K Barley SNP Array. Analysis of 29,920 high-quality SNPs revealed moderate diversity...
