We have added several Mississippi Valley Barley Nursery Reports covering years between 1999-2014 for agronomic traits and malting quality.

These reports can be reached on our Germplasm page following this link: https://wheat.pw.usda.gov/GG3/germplasm#barley.

The GrainGenes curation team is working toward a complete representation of the data in the Wheat Gene Catalogue (WGC) into the interactive SQL database at GrainGenes. Gene classes, genes, loci, maps, references and germplasm records are being updated and/or created as needed. Links to the Komugi database are added to gene class, gene, and allele records. All links below are to records in the GrainGenes SQL database unless otherwise noted.

The GrainGenes team has added several new pre-made queries in the Batch SQL Interface page (Tools - Advanced Queries). Selecting a query from the dropdown menu will populate the QTL query box with the query. Top lines will include instructions and examples. Enter a list of up to 10,000 names to query in the lower text box.

Here are the batch queries now available on GrainGenes:

As of July 2019, all 197 QTL in the Catalog of Gene Symbols for Wheat (WGC), including Supplements through 2017 have been curated and added to GrainGenes. Some existing QTL were updated for germplasm, statistics and significant markers. For links to the WGC at Komugi, see the reference files for the QTL, or Click Here to visit the Komugi 'Catalogue of Gene Symbols Class list.

Oat Mapathon 2020

In collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), oat maps identified as important legacy maps are adding to the GrainGenes collection of genetic maps. Links to MapData records, Reference records, and brief descriptions of the map sets are listed below in publication order. All maps below are available for comparative mapping using the CMap tool. Click on the map link in the map data record to be taken to CMap.

All trait records in GrainGenes have been evaluated and updated. Updates include :
1) the consolidation of identical synonyms (ex. Heading date / Days to Heading)
2) the addition of specific ontology links (ex. Grain filling period)

The webpages for the USDA-ARS Small Grains Genotyping Labs, hosted by GrainGenes, site are updated.

March 2019: Wild Emmer Wheat (genotype Zavitan) v2.0 assembly and annotations can be viewed at a GrainGenes genome browser here.

Oat Maps identified as important legacy maps were submitted to GrainGenes in early 2019 by our collaborators at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC).
Many thanks to Charlene Wight and Nick Tinker for pre-curating these data for GrainGenes.
