Abstract
The present invention provides the chromosomal location and structure of a gene involved in the determination of row type and panicle morphology of barley. The present inventors have found that the row type and panicle morphology of barley can be altered by introducing the Vrs1 gene provided by the present invention into barley and regulating its expression. Furthermore, the present inventors found the possibility of enhancing the resistance of barley tohead blight. Thus, barley having phenotypes suitable for the intended purpose can be created by efficiently altering the row type and panicle morphology of barley.
