Abstract
Five single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites corresponding to substitutions in the protein sequence of the β-amylase gene Bmy1 at amino acid (AA) positions 115, 165, 233, 347 and 430 were genotyped in 493 cultivated barley accessions by Pyrosequencing and a CAPS assay. A total of 6 different haplotypes for the Bmy1 gene were discovered of which 4 haplotypes were identified as previously described alleles Bmy1-Sd1, Bmy1-Sd2L, Bmy1-Sd2H and Bmy1-Sd3, while 2 haplotypes were new. A broad spectrum of haplotypes was found in spring barleys, while the winter barleys were dominated by the newly described haplotype Bmy1-Sd4. Individual haplotype frequencies varied between the geographic regions.
Three pairs of SNP loci within the gene showed highly significant (P<0.0001) elevated values of linkage disequilibrium (LD) with r 2 > 0.6. In the European and Asian subpopulations different loci were in linkage disequilibrium due to the differences in haplotype frequency distributions. By applying LD data to select haplotype tagging SNPs, three SNP sites corresponding to AA positions 115, 233 and 347 were identified that allowed to discriminate 4 haplotypes and to capture 91.6% of the available diversity by distinguishing 452 out of 493 accessions.
In a subset of 2-rowed German spring barley varieties 4 SNPs and 2 haplotypes had a significant association with the malting quality parameter final attenuation limit which is related to the total amylolytic enzymatic activity.
