J. Weyen et al., RAPD-MAPPING OF THE DISTAL PORTION OF CHROMOSOME-3 OF BARLEY, INCLUDING THE BAMMV BAYMV RESISTANCE GENE YM4/, Plant breeding, 115(4), 1996, pp. 285-287
Experiments were carried out in order to identify RAPD-markers for the
BaMMV/BaYMV resistance gene ym4 to facilitate efficient marker-based
selection in practical breeding programmes. Linkage analysis was carri
ed out with 283 doubled haploid (DH) barley lines out of a cross betwe
en the BaMMV/BaYMV susceptible cv. 'Igri' and the resistant cv. 'Frank
a'. Using bulked segregant analysis, 310 RAPD-primers were screened fo
r polymorphism between the parents. Four of these primers gave rise to
specific bands linked to the resistance gene ym4.
