IPPS8 Session 6b: Bettina Berger - OzBarley: from genome to phenome and back again

Abstract: The Australian barley industry generates a farm-gate revenue of ~AUD2.5B p.a. but faces constant challenges through climate change and shifting market needs. It is therefore important to increase the rate of genetic gain in barley breeding and access to high-quality genotypic and phenotypic data can accelerate gene discovery and support both the research and breeding sector. OzBarley brings together Australian researchers and breeders to create a national data asset, capturing the breeding history of barley in Australia. The aim is to share genotype-to-phenotype (G2P) data of Australian barley varieties with the research community and provide a platform for future contributions by OzBarley users to grow and expand the database. We want to provide a foundation for researchers to explore and mine the diversity of Australian barley to address their respective research question. The OzBarley collection currently focuses on an elite panel of over 200 elite barley varieties and a collection of ~500 barley landraces. SNP data is available for all lines, in addition RNAseq data was collected for the elite varieties. Initial phenotypic data was collected in the controlled environment and is now expanded to field trials, available for public access. OzBarley data is made available using the GERMINATE plant genetic resources platform developed at the James Hutton Institute and follows FAIR data principles. All seed is being deposited into the Australian Grains Genebank to allow researchers access to data and seed alike.
