Near infrared technology makes it possible to obtain a total multivariate physical chemical fingerprint of the barley endosperm with high precision. Whole spectroscopic fingerprints of the physics and chemistry of barley seeds can be interpreted by multivariate analysis (chemometrics), by principal component analysis (PCA) for classification and by partial least squares regression for correlation. PCA classification of near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectra can differentiate between mutants and alleles in the lys3 and lys5 loci. PCA on NIR can also be used as a routine in barley breeding to select for a multi-gene quality complex in barley as a whole, e.g. increasing starch and reducing fibre content. Based on classification of NIR spectra, two alleles in the lys5 locus were characterised as a new class indicating a metabolic connection between starch and beta-glucan.
