ABSTRACT
KEY MESSAGE SNP-based and InDel-based GWAS on multi-environment data identified genomic regions associated with barley grain size. Barley yield and quality are greatly influenced by grain size. Improving barley grain size in breeding programs requires knowledge of genetic loci and alleles in germplasm resources. In this study, a collection of 334 worldwide two-rowed barley accessions with extensive genetic diversity was evaluated for grain size including grain length (GL), grain width (GW), and thousand-grain weight (TGW) across six independent field trials. Significant differences were observed in genotype and environments for all measured traits. SNP- and InDel-based GWAS were applied to dissect the genetic architecture of grain size with an SLAF-seq strategy. Two approaches using the FarmCPU model revealed 38 significant marker-trait associations (MTAs) with PVE ranging from 0.01% to 20.68%. Among these MTAs, five were on genomic regions where no previously reported QTL for grain size. Superior alleles of TGW-associated SNP233060 and GL-associated InDel11006 exhibited significantly higher levels of phenotype. The significant MTAs could be used in marker-assisted selection breeding.
