Phenotypic characteristics of the F₂ parental homozygous lines, OWB-D and OWB-R, for the qualitative and quantitative barley traits selected to be analysed. The morphological markers are designated following the nomenclature for barley genes described by Francowiak [23]. For plant height and spike length, the ranges of values recorded in 5 seasons are given.

Material	Trait	OWB-D Phenotype	OWB-R Phenotype
Dry spikes	Type of spike	Zeo = dense spike	zeo = lax spike
	Number of rows	Vrs1 = two-rowed spike	vrs1 = six-rowed spike
	Type of awn	Kap = hooded awn	kap = normal awn
	Length of awn	Lks2 = long awn	lks2 = short awn
	Type of grain	Nud = covered caryopsis	nud = naked caryopsis
Growing plants	Leaf variegation	Wst = non variegated leaf	wst = variegated leaf
	Stem pubescence	Hsh = hairy leaf sheath	hsh = non hairy leaf sheath
	Plant height	49–96 cm	67–122 cm
	Spike length	35–45 mm	91–116 mm
