Abstract
Summary: A survey of allozymic alleles and genetic diversity was made for 151 accessions of the American Barley Core Collection. A total of 25 alleles at ten loci were observed. Two loci were monomorphic. The average diversity index for individual loci ranged between 0.026 and 0.649. Most significant differences in allelic frequency and genetic diversity value were found between spring and winter barley. Spring barley showed a greatly higher average diversity than winter barley (t=2.124, P=0.071). The smallest differences in allelic frequencies and diversity values were observed between the two geographical regions, North and South America. Rare alleles were detected only in a few accessions. Seven rare alleles were associated with spring barley. The genetic similarities among the 151 accessions ranged from 0.20 to 1.00, which showed that a high level of genetic variability exists in this set of core accessions. Cluster analysis and principal coordinate analysis did not give clear-cut separation of different types of barley, but most of the winter barley accessions were closely associated
