Abstract
Australia and Canada are major exporters of malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), with Baudin from Australia and AC Metcalfe from Canada being the benchmark varieties for premium malting quality in the past 10 years. We used the barley doubled haploid population derived from a cross of Baudin and AC Metcalfe to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for malting quality. The results revealed different genetic architectures controlling malting quality for the two cultivars. Sixteen QTLs were identified and located on chromosomes 1H, 2H, 5H and 7H. The Australian barley Baudin mainly contributed to the malting quality QTL traits of high diastatic power and high β-glucanase on chromosome 1H, while Canadian barley AC Metcalfe mainly contributed to the QTL traits of high hot water extract, high free amino nitrogen, high α-amylase and low malt yield in chromosome 5HL telomere region. This study demonstrated the potential to breed new barley varieties with superior malting quality by integrating genes from Australian and Canadian malting barley varieties. This paper also provides methods to anchor traditional molecular markers without sequence information, such as amplified fragment length polymorphism markers, into the physical map of barley cv. ‘Morex’.
