Abstract
Allelic variations of partial sequence of fructan: fructan 1-fructosyltransferase (1-FFT) gene among 43 Japanese barley cultivars and 5 foreign barley cultivars were investigated. Alignment analysis of the 540 bp region of 1-FFT gene revealed that there were 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including four SNPs with amino acid substitution. The barley cultivars were classified into five groups by phylogenetic analysis. Most of the cultivars with superior snow resistance fell into the same group.
