| Abstract | This thesis consists of three manuscripts addressing separate components of barley breeding, plus an introduction and a conclusion summarizing the status of barley in the Pacific Northwest, plus the implications of the research presented in this thesis. In the first manuscript, a package written for the statistical software "R" that is designed to identify subsets of plant accessions that would be favorable for rare-trait discovery and genome-wide association studies is presented. In the second manuscript, genome-wide association scanning is used to identify thirteen single-nucleotide polymorphism markers that are significantly associated with tocochromanol concentration in a set of elite, spring barley accessions. In the third manuscript, the barley variety "Alba" was described in a germplasm release. |
