Abstract Background The APETALA2-like genes form a large multi-gene family of transcription factors which play an important role during the plant life cycle being key regulators of many developmental processes. Many studies in Arabidopsis have revealed that the APETALA2 AP2 gene is implicated in the establishment of floral meristem and floral organ identity as well as temporal and spatial regulation of flower homeotic gene expression. Results In this work we have cloned and characterised the AP2-like gene from accessions of Hordeum chilense and Hordeum vulgare wild and domesticated barley respectively and compared with other AP2 homoeologous genes including the Q gene in wheat. The Hordeum AP2-like genes contain two plant-specific DNA binding motifs called AP2 domains as does the Q gene of wheat. We confirm that the H. chilense AP2-like gene is located on chromosome 5Hch. Patterns of expression of the AP2-like genes were examined in floral
