Oregon Wolfe barley genetic stocks – Research and teaching tools for next generation scientists
Abstract The Oregon Wolfe Barley (OWB) mapping population (Reg. no. MP‐4, NSL 554937 MAP) is a resource for genetics research and instruction. The OWBs are a set of doubled haploid barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) lines developed at Oregon State University from the F 1 of a cross between Dr. Robert Wolfe's dominant and recessive marker stocks. Exhibiting a high level of genetic and phenotypic diversity, the OWBs are used throughout the world as a research tool for barley genetics. To date, these endeavors have led to 56 peer‐reviewed publications, as well as three reports in the Barley Genetics Newsletter. At the same time, the OWBs are widely used as an instructor resource at the K–12, undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. They are currently used at universities and/or institutes in German, Italy, Norway, Spain, and the United States and are currently being developed further for educational use in other countries. Genotype and phenotype data, lesson plans, and seed availability information are available herein and online.
