Selection through molecular markers for seed Zn accumulation might be an efficient complementary breeding tool in barley breeding. To develop a specific molecular markers, 150 DH lines derived from a cross between Clipper (low-Zn-accumulator) and Sahara-3771 (high-Zn-accumulator) were screened under field and glasshouse conditions. Microsatellite-anchored fragment length polymorphism (MFLP) fingerprint generated by SSR-anchor primer MF128 in combination with AFLP primer MseI-AGA (5´-GATGAGTCCTGAGTAAAGA-3´) was identified as a candidate marker for tagging seed Zn accumulation gene. The sequencing of the band showed a marker of 369 bp with the sequence of SSR anchor primer MF128 and MseI-AGA at the two ends as expected. The MFLP marker associated with higher seed Zn accumulation has potential to be converted to a simple, sequence-specific, PCR-based, low-cost marker amenable to large populations, making it potentially viable for marker-assisted selection in barley breeding. This marker might be useful in the improvement of barley productivity and nutritional quality in Zn-deficient environments.
