Cell wall degradation is a crucial process within the malting process of barley. Therefore, the haplotype diversity of genes for two cell wall degrading enzymes, (1 → 3),(1 → 4)-β-d-Glucan-4-glucanohydrolase and (1 → 4)-β-Xylan-endohydrolase 1, was investigated and associations to malting quality parameters were performed. The (1 → 3),(1 → 4)-β-d-Glucan-4-glucanohydrolase gene glb2 had two major haplotypes defined by three SNPs and one INDEL, which explained 8.9 and 9.5% of the total variation of malt extract content and viscosity in the spring barley gene pool, respectively. The most significant associations of (1 → 4)-β-Xylan-endohydrolase 1 gene X-1 were found for diastatic power, saccharification VZ45 and soluble nitrogen with 18, 12 and 8% of the total variation explained by SNP3 in the spring barleys. High-throughput markers were developed for both genes which can be used for marker assisted selection.
