Summary Variability between and within spontaneous populations of Hordeum murinum in Switzerland was studied by enzyme electrophoresis. Most of the variation (61.5%) occurred within populations, while 38.5% occurred between populations. Absence of cleistogamy was observed. The results suggest evidence for a mixed mating system in H. murinum. Isozyme diagnostic bands for H. murinum and cultivated barley were established, allowing the detection of putative hybrids between them. No hybrids were obtained after performing experimental hybridization in the field and in the greenhouse. None was detected in the progeny of H. murinum growing in spontaneous contact zones either, confirming the existence of strong genetic barriers against hybridization. Our results are discussed in the context of the risk of transgene escape, associated with the cultivation of transgenic crops.
