Little progress has been made in merging the molecular and morphological maps during the past year. Based on previously reported results, the morphological marker linkage maps (Franckowiak 1997), and the Oregon Wolfe Barley (OWB) map (Costa et al., 2001), I have attempted to align the barley molecular and morphological maps. The morphological markers that are firmly anchored to the molecular map are shown in bold and connected to it by a thin line. The location of other morphological markers with respect to the molecular map are only very approximate. The molecular map is based on the Steptoe x Morex min mapper population. This population consists of 35 lines selected from the 150 Steptoe x Morex Doubled Haploid Mapping population. The lines are DH4, 7, 12, 13, 22, 24, 27, 41, 43, 44, 46, 61, 63, 73, 74, 79, 85, 88, 89, 116, 130, 135, 136, 140, 141, 146, 152, 155, 160, 167, 169, 173, 177, 184, 200. The numbers are also available at our web site "http://barleygenomics.wsu.edu/".

The morphological map is anchored to the molecular marker map based on the Steptoe x Morex 150 doubled haploid line population.  The morphological markers that have been localized to the molecular map with a high degree of confidence are indicated in bold and connected to the molecular map with a dashed line.  Markers that are located with reasonable confidence are shown in bold and others in plain text.  Only markers whose location on the molecular map can be assigned with a reasonable degree of confidence are shown.  Information was gathered from the literature and the chromosome coordinator reports (BGN 31).
