There have been no plant breeding developments using species from the tertiary genepool of cultivated barley for breeding or genetics since the VIII<sup>th</sup> International Barley Genetics Symposium in 2000. Hence, the first part of this review describes progress since 2000 in developing and characterising recombinant lines derived from hybridisations between the sole species in the secondary genepool, Hordeum bulbosum L., and cultivated barley, Hordeum vulgare L. The topics discussed in part I are cytogenetics and molecular analysis of recombinant lines. &nbsp;

Interspecific crosses in Hordeum have been made with the aim of transferring desirable traits, such as disease resistance, from a wild species, Hordeum bulbosum, into cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare). Interspecific recombinants have previously been identified using several methods, but there are limitations with all the techniques. We improved our ability to characterize progeny from H. vulgare × H. bulbosum crosses by using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). The plant material comprised a recombinant and a monosomic alien substitution plant derived from H. vulgare × H. bulbosum crosses. The recombinant possesses a pubescent leaf sheath conferred by a gene transferred from H. bulbosum into barley cultivar Golden Promise. The use of GISH on a plant homozygous for the pubescence gene confirmed the presence of H. bulbosum DNA located distally on two barley chromosomes and we mapped the introgression to barley chromosome 4HL using RFLP analysis. Furthermore, by means of an allelism test we found that the transferred gene for pubescence is allelic or closely linked to a gene for pubescence (Hs) located on barley chromosome 4HL. The presence of a single H. bulbosum chromosome in the monosomic substitution plant was confirmed by GISH. A distal introgression of H. bulbosum DNA was also observed on one barley chromosome, which was located on chromosome 3HL by RFLP analysis.Key words: Hordeum vulgare, Hordeum bulbosum, interspecific hybrid, gene introgression, genomic in situ hybridization.

We have identified all Hordeum bulbosum chromosomes in 2 diploid Hordeum vulgare × Hordeum bulbosum hybrids using suitable probes and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Using the parental idiograms allowed us to carry out a full analysis of chromosome associations among all chromosome arms in the hybrids. Association frequencies were generally lower for the short arms than for the long arms. There were also significant differences among the chromosome arms in association frequencies, partly correlated with the absolute length of the chromosome arm, as well as with the frequency of recombinant lines, which were recovered from partially fertile interspecific hybrids. The H. bulbosum idiogram will be useful for further chromosome association studies and will enable the identification of H. bulbosum chromosomes involved in chromosome addition or substitution lines.Key words: Hordeum vulgare, Hordeum bulbosum, interspecific hybrids, chromosome associations, meiosis, fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Low seed set, owing to partial incompatibility, can limit sexual gene transfer and haploid production efficiency in wide crosses. The inheritance of partial incompatibility in barley Hordeum vulgare L. × H. bulbosum L. crosses and its effect on gamete sampling in doubled haploid production were studied by doubled haploid progeny analysis. The dominant, monogenic control of partial incompatibility in 'Vada' was confirmed. Partial incompatibility in 'Harrington' is also monogenic but appears to be controlled by a different gene. An association between the Inc gene and a deficiency in a stigma–stylodium specific high pI protein was found in the co-segregation analysis of doubled haploid progeny. Segregation analysis of Mendelian markers in doubled haploid progeny showed that there is no evidence that the compatibility status of the parents has an effect on gamete sampling by the bulbosum technique.Key words: barley, haploids, Hordeum bulbosum, incompatibility.
