Abstract: 
Barley yellow mosaic virus disease - caused by barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV), barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and BaYMV-2 - has to be considered as one of the most important diseases of winter barley in Europe. Due to transmission by the soil-borne fungus Polymyxa graminis, chemical measures against the disease are neither efficient nor economic. Therefore, breeding for resistance to this disease is of special importance. By segregation analysis followed by the application of molecular techniques, like RFLPs, RAPDs, SSRs and AFLPs, different resistance genes have been integrated into the RFLP-map of barley barley and PCR-based markers have been developed for these genes (ym4, ym5, ym3, ym11). These markers are useful tools in barley breeding today as they can be used in marker-based selection procedures, marker-assisted backcrossing programmes and in order to combine different resistance genes in one genotype ('pyramiding'), thereby facilitating efficient breeding of resistant lines.
