Funding Acknowledgements

The authors would like to thank Dr. Stuart Roy (Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics, The University of Adelaide) for providing the barley seeds, and staff at the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF, Melbourne) for next-generation sequencing. U.R. and C.B.H. were funded through an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship program. This research was funded by grants through the ARC, The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), The South Australian Government, The University of Adelaide, The University of Queensland and The University of Melbourne. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Cell Walls also acknowledges the support of funds from the Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Program (NCRIS) administered through Bioplatforms Australia (BPA) Ltd. This research was supported by two Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative (VLSCI) grants (numbers VR1534 and VR2498) on its Peak Computing Facility at the University of Melbourne, an initiative of the Victorian Government, Australia, and by resources provided by the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre with funding from the Australian Government and the Government of Western Australia.
