Dynamic Phytomeric Growth Contributes to Local Adaptation in Barley.

"data availability for the raw whole-genome resequencing reads of the d6s panel (358 lines) 168 will be released in conjunction with an upcoming publication; 47 are from a previous publication ( jayakodi et al 2020 ); 143 have been submitted to the european nucleotide archive database under project id prjeb61463.; the unfiltered vcf variant files of the 358 barley lines have been submitted to the european variation archive database under project id prjeb62782."

"We thank A. Püschel, K. Wolf, M. Schnurbusch, and M. Pürschel for their excellent technical support; R. Kamal and N. Shanmugaraj for their dedication in spike dissection and data collection; E. Geyer and his team for their tremendous and tireless support on the greenhouse management; R. Hoffie and I. Otto for assisting the barley protoplast transformation; H. Wang for helping in measuring the LUC/REN activity; S. G. Milner for selecting the barley panel; I. Walde for expert technical assistance in DNA sequencing; Y. Jiang for suggestions on GWAS; A. Fiebig for raw data submission; P.A. Wigge for sharing the elf3-1 seeds. We are grateful to all members of the Schnurbusch Lab at IPK for fruitful discussions, from which this research concept was stimulated. Research conducted in the laboratory of T.S. received financial support from a European Research Council (ERC) grant entitled “LUSH SPIKE” (ERC-2015-CoG, agreement 681686), the European Fund for Regional Development (EFRE) and the State of Saxony-Anhalt within the ALIVE project (grant ZS/2018/09/94616), the HEISENBERG Program of the German Research Foundation (DFG, grant Nos. SCHN 768/8-1 and SCHN 768/15-1), and the IPK core budget. Costs for open access publishing were partially funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation, grant 491250510)."
