Abstract
Based on data in four publications describing European barley cultivars, similarities between pairs of cultivars were calculated using individual markers and combinations of markers. These markers included 19 iso-enzyme patterns, Giemsa C-banding variants of each of the seven chromosomes, hordein polypeptide patterns, DDT susceptibility type, and three morphological descriptors. The rank correlation between the coefficients of parentage and marker-based similarities is low; the highest single marker correlation is with Est-1, 0.41, and the highest correlation with a combination of markers is 0.58. Giemsa C-banding patterns score rather high, as opposed to the three morphological characters that score very low. Selection of core collections using the effective-number-of-origin-lines theory is successful. The average number of types found in a core collection of cultivars of given size is always considerably larger than a random set of the same size. The core collection approaches the maximum possible number of types
