A rare recombinant within the multigenic Hor 2 locus of barley was detected by SD-PAGE of hordein fractions from F2 grain from the cross Bomi × P12/3. Analysis of a homozygous F4 line by 2-D IEF/SDS-PAGE showed that recombination between the class I/II and class III subfamilies of genes had occurred, indicating that they are spatially separate within the Hor 2 locus. RFLP analysis using a B hordein-related cDNA clone confirmed that recombination had occurred, while similar analysis using a genomic clone related to γ-type hordein (encoded by the Hor 5/HrdF locus) indicated the order of the two subfamilies of genes on the short arm of chromosome 5, the class I/II genes being closer to the centromere. The results are consistent with the origin of the B hordein gene family from initial duplication of a single ancestral gene to give two genes which diverged to become the ancestors of the class I/II and class III subfamilies. Subsequent cycles of duplication and divergence have resulted in the present high degree of polymorphism.
