Genetically map 480 morphological mutant loci onto the barley genome (at low resolution).
Develop approximately 400 Mbp of barley BAC-end sequence data from 250,000 BAC clones.
Identify, isolate and validate at least three morphologically and / or developmentally important barley genes that are perturbed in specific mutant lines, demonstrating the utility of the linked genetic and physical map.
