A set of 110 diploid putative introgression lines (ILs) containing chromatin introgressed from the undomesticated species Hordeum bulbosum L. (bulbous barley grass) into cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has been identified using a high-copy number retrotransposon-like PCR marker, pSc119.1, derived from rye (Secale cereale L.). To evaluate these lines, 92 EST-derived markers were developed by marker sequencing across four barley cultivars and four H. bulbosum genotypes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms and insertions/deletions conserved between the two species were then used to develop a set of fully informative cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence markers or size polymorphic insertion/deletion markers. Introgressed chromatin from H. bulbosum was confirmed and genetically located in 88 of these lines using 46 of the EST-derived PCR markers. A total of 96 individual introgressions were detected with most of them (94.8%) extending to the most distal marker for each respective chromosome arm. Introgressions were detected on all chromosome arms except chromosome 3HL. Interstitial or sub-distal introgressions also occurred, with two located on chromosome 2HL and one each on 3HS, 5HL and 6HS. Twenty-two putative ILs that were positive for H. bulbosum chromatin using pSc119.1 have not had introgressions detected with these single-locus markers. When all introgressions are combined, more than 36% of the barley genetic map has now been covered with introgressed chromatin from H. bulbosum. These ILs represent a significant germplasm resource for barley improvement that can be mined for diverse traits of interest to barley breeders and researchers.
