ERKKILA and HANNU AHOKAS Plan P oduc ion Resea ch, Ag icul u al Resea ch Cen e, Mylly ie 10, FIN-31 600 Jokioinen, Finland E-mail: [email p o ec ed] (Recei ed Feb ua y 19, 200 1. Accep ed May 2 1, 200 1) Ba ley (Ho deum uulga e L.) g ain mainly consis s o s a ch, which p o ides ene gy du ing ge mina ion and seedling g ow h ( o e iew, see MACGREGOR and FINCHER 1993). S a ch deg ada ion equi es con- ce ed ac ion o limi dex inase, P-amylase, a-glu- cosidase (SUN and HENSON 1990) and a-amylase. Libe a ion o mal ose and limi dex ins om he non educing ends o s a ch is ca alysed by P-amylase (1,Ca-D-glucan mal ohyd olase, EC 3.2.1.2) (ROBYT and WHELAN 1968; SOPANEN and LAURIERE 1989). Being syn hesised du ing g ain de elopmen (KREIS e al. 1987), P-amylase is one o he majo p o eins ound in he s a chy endospe m (HEJGAARD and BOISEN 1980). The endospe m P-amylase gene (P- amyl) is loca ed in ch omosome 4H (KREIS e al. 1987). Ano he P-amylase gene (P-amy2), called ubiq- ui ous, is loca ed in ch omosome 2H and he p o ein is ound in lea es and oo s (KREIS e al. 1988; SHARP e al. 1988). Mode n plan b eeding has educed he gene ic a iabili y in domes ica ed ba ley (THOMPSON e al. 1990; FORSTER e al. 1991) and declined land aces in Finland p io o abou 1950 (AHOKAS 2000). La ge gene ic di e si y is ound in wild ba ley H. ulga e ssp. spon aneum (K. Koch) A. & G ., abb e ia ed as H. spon aneum (AHOKAS 1982; ZHANG e al. 1993; SAGHAI MAROOF e al. 1995). High P-amylase ai was inhe i ed in he backc ossed p ogeny o H. spon- aneum and domes ica ed ba ley (AHOKAS and ERKKILA 1992). Howe e , H. spon aneum was no widely used in b eeding o se e al easons such as sha e ing o spikele s, ad e se g ow h y hm a high la i udes, and appa en low g ain yield. Because land aces a e be e adap ed o local en i- onmen s and a e mo phologically close o desi ed domes ica ed ypes han wild ba ley, hey a e a mo e sui able sou ce o gene ic a ia ion o ba ley b eed- ing. Compa ed wi h he a ia ion in wild ba ley g own in Finland (AHOKAS and NASKALI 1990), land aces had signi ican ly highe mean ac i i ies o a- and P-amylase and o P-glucanase (AHOKAS and POUKKULA 1999). The line HA52 was selec ed om Finnish land aces (AHOKAS 1977), a di e se gene ic esou ce (AHOKAS and MANNINEN 2001). La e , HA52 was ound o ha e a high P-amylase ac i i y (AHOKAS e al. 1996) and also a high he mos abili y (AHOKAS and MANNINEN 2000). The esul p esen ed he e is an ex ension p e ious s udies o P-amyl alleles ound in ba ley (ERKKILA e al. 1998; ERKKILA 1999). YOSHIGI e al. (1995) de- sc ibed an allele in c . Ha una Nijo (EMBL-Gen- Bank da abase accession numbe D49999). We ha e p e iously ound wo P-amyl alleles, one in c . Ado a and ano he in H. spon aneum s ain PI 296897 (EMBL-GenBank da abase accession num- be s AF061203 and AF061204, ERKKILA e al. 1998). All he alleles di e om each o he h ough hei nucleo ide sequences especially in in on 111, bu no signi ican ly in he open eading ame (ERKKILA e al. 1998).

To s udy he P-amyl locus in he Finnish land ace ba ley line ha ing high enzyme ac i i y, he gene o he line HA52 was sequenced and compa ed wi h p e iously ound alleles. The P-amyl sequence in HA52 - The locus o 0-amyl in he Finnish land ace line HA52 was PCR ampli ied om genomic DNA using p ime s based on he sequence o he c . Ha una Nijo (YOSHIGI e al. 1995). DNA sequencing was pe o med on ALF DNA Sequence (Pha macia-LKB) and sequences we e analysed wi h he PC/Gene so wa e package (In elliGene ics). The sequence o he HA52 P-amyl gene ob ained was 4951 bp in leng h and included a p omo e , se en exons and six in ons, which is con- sis en wi h he schema ic s uc u e o all he alleles sequenced be o e (Fig. 1, YOSHIGI e al. 1995; ERKKILA e al. 1998). The P-amyl sequence o HA52 has an EMBL accession numbe AJ301645. T an- sc ip ion ini ia ion si e is si ua ed a posi ion 1205 bp om he beginning o he clone.
