From the origin of agriculture to the present, cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare) has been the most important temperate crop, ranking fourth among cereals in terms of both area cultivated and tonnage harvested.
Reference genome: Morex V2 Morex V3
As the direct ancestor of cultivated barley, wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) is a valuable genetic resource for ecology, feeding and improving resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and productivity.
Reference genome: B1K-04-12
Tibetan hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare var. nudum), a self-reproducing annual species grown at high altitudes, has been a staple crop for Tibetans and remains an important economic crop in the Tibetan Plateau.
Reference genome: Zangqing320
