L., a wild grass and close relative of cultivated barley ( L.), gained importance in plant breeding as inducer of haploid plants in crosses with barley and also as a genetic resource for introgression of disease resistance/tolerance genes into cultivated barley. Genetic mapping of genes introgressed from is a prerequisite for their efficient utilization in barley breeding, but often hindered due to repressed recombination. The mechanism underlying the reduced frequency or lack of meiotic recombination between . and . chromatin in introgressed segments is not understood. It may be explained by lack of genome collinearity or other structural differences between both genomes. In the present study, two F mapping populations of were analyzed by genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and four dense genetic maps containing 1449, 996, 720, and 943 SNP markers, respectively, revealed overall a high degree of collinearity for all seven homeologous linkage groups of and . The patterns of distribution of recombination along chromosomes differed between barley and , indicating organizational differences between both genomes.
