中国网浪潮资讯 浙江大学农业与生物技术学院教授张国平参与的破解大麦基因组的研究成果，近日登上了英国《Nature》的封面文章。

CNCAO NEWS Zhang Guoping, a professor of college of agronomy and biotechnology in Zhejiang University, participated in decoding Barley genome. The research results of it became the cover paper of British Nature.

        文章称，浙江大学张国平团队与澳大利亚李承道团队共同对大麦麦芽品质相关基因进行了深入分析，明确了大麦麦芽品质相关基因的结构变异，为高品质大麦育种指明了方向。这项工作对大麦种质资源利用及相关基因的克隆和鉴定工作都具有重要意义。

According to the article, Zhang Guoping’ s team of Zhejiang University with Li Chengdao’ s team of Australia made a deep analysis about genes related to the quality of barley malt. They confirmed structural variation of the genes related to the quality of barley malt and pointed the way to breed high quality barley. The work has great significance for barley resources utilization, cloning and identification of related genes.

        大麦是全球第四大禾谷类作物，被人类驯化了已经有一万年。它既是粮食和饲料，也是生产啤酒的重要原料。

Barley is the number four cereal crops of the world, and has been acclimatized by human for ten thousand years. It is food and fodder, and also an important raw material of beer production.

        破解大麦基因组极其困难，国际大麦测序联盟(IBSC)耗费了近10年时间，组装完成一个包含4.79Gb的大麦高质量参考基因组序列。

It is very hard to decode Barley genome. IBSC spent nearly 10 years assembling a high quality reference genomic sequence of barley which was 4.79Gb.
