Transcriptome analysis of a barley breeding program examines gene expression diversity and reveals target genes for malting quality improvement

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Advanced cycle breeding utilizes crosses among elite lines and is a successful method to develop new inbreds. However, it results in a reduction in genetic diversity within the breeding population. The development of malting barley v...
