Barley

Barley is used for brewing, food, and feed. It exists as a variety of wild and cultivated species with high adaptability and resistance to environmental changes such as drought, salt, and moisture damage. Due to its diploid genome structure, mutations are easy to detect in cultivated species. A high-quality genome assembly has also been completed. Therefore, barley is used as a model in plant science and practical applications, including the identification of useful genes.
