SHAPE2: Plastome data
Chloroplast genomes for the SHAPE II core1000 and elite breeding lines sequencing datasets were assembled, automatically annotated with GeSeq.  From this analysis, which is based on full chloroplast genome sequences, it became obvious that during barley cultivation a genetic bottleneck for cytoplasmic genes appeared, hence, most, if not all, cultivated barley strains share the same plasmotype (Greiner, Mascher and Stein, unpublished data). Thus, the breeding potential of cytoplasmic genes in barley has even not been touched. SHAPE-P2 will be used to uncover plasmotype diversity on the basis of resequencing data from >1000 cultivated and ~100 wild barley genomes.
