A major QTL, which is co-located with cly1, and two minor QTLs are associated with glume opening angle in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

A major QTL, which is co-located with cly1, and two minor QTLs are associated with glume opening angle in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Cleistogamous and chasmogamous are two opposing phenomena for flowering in barley. Cleistogamy limits the rate of outcrossing, and increases the cost of producing hybrid barley seeds. Selecting chasmogamous lines with a large glume opening angle is essential for the utilization of barley heterosis....
