Abstract
The vrs1 (formerly v) locus in the long arm of chromosome 2H controls lateral spikelet development in barley. The vrs1 locus was mapped by backcross-derived lines that consisted of 373 BC(7)F(1) plants and 278 BC(6)F(2) plants. The linkage study indicated that MWG801, CMNA-38/700, cMWG699, vrs1 and MWG865 exist in the order listed, with map distances of 3.1, 0.4, 0.1, and 0.9 centimorgans (cM), respectively. Recombination in female and male meiocytes showed no significant difference within this region. In a neighboring region between MWG865 and MWG503, the recombination frequency was higher in female than male meiocytes in one mapping population. The combined linkage data obtained from this study were compared with published data, and genotype-specific suppression of crossing-over was not evident in the vrs1 region.
