        The Canary Islands are an archipelago that lies about 100 km west of North Africa. Barley (Hordeum vulgare) has been continuously cultivated since the colonization of the islands. To investigate the agricultural history of the islands, the DNA from multiple individuals of six extant landraces of barley was sequenced, and the resulting data were analyzed with ABC modeling. Estimates of separation times of barley populations on the different islands and the mainland were congruent with archaeological dating of the earliest settlements on the islands. The results of the genetic analyses were consistent with the continuous cultivation of barley on Lanzarote island since it was first colonized, but suggested cultivation was carried out at a smaller scale than on Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Contrary to archaeological evidence and early written historical sources, the genetic analyses suggest that barley was cultivated on a larger scale on Tenerife than on Gran Canaria. The genetic analysis of contemporary barley added support to the dating of the colonization of the islands and pointed to the need for more archaeological data concerning barley cultivation on Tenerife.
        Résumé: Les îles de Canaries est un archipel situé à environ 100 km à l'ouest de l'Afrique du Nord. L'orge (Hordeum vulgare) a été cultivée continuellement sur les îles depuis leur première colonisation. Pour étudier l'histoire agricole des îles, l'ADN de plusieurs individus de six variétés locales contemporaines d'orge a été séquencé et les données résultantes ont été analysées avec la modélisation ABC. Les estimations des temps de séparation des populations d'orge sur les différentes îles et sur le continent correspondaient à la datation archéologique de la colonisation des îles. La cultivation continue d'orge sur l'île de Lanzarote depuis sa colonisation a été soutenu, mais à une échelle plus réduite que celle de Gran Canaria et de Tenerife. Contrairement aux preuves archéologiques et aux premières sources historiques écrites, les analyses génétiques suggèrent que l'orge a été cultivée à une plus grande échelle à Tenerife qu'à Gran Canaria. L'analyse génétique de l'orge contemporaine a confirmé la datation de la colonisation des îles, mais a également souligné la nécessité de disposer de plus de données archéologiques concernant la cultivation de l'orge à Tenerife.
