Association Mapping of Diastatic Power in UK Winter and Spring Barley by Exome Sequencing of Phenotypically Contrasting Variety Sets

Diastatic Power (DP) is an important quality trait for malt used in adjunct brewing and distilling. Substantial genetic variation for DP exists within UK elite barley cultivars, but breeding progress has been slow due to the limited demand, compared to the overall barley market, and difficulties in assessing DP. Estimates of DP (taken from recommended and national list trials between 1994 and 2...

Canopy Light and Tiller Mortality in Spring Barley

Mortality of tillers in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important developmental event affecting spike number and yield potential of the crop. It has traditionally been thought that increased shading of young tillers by the developing canopy initiates the premature senescence of tillers. A series of field experiments were conducted in 1982, 1983, and 1984 at St. Paul, MN on a Waukegan silt loa...

Chemical Composition and Nutritive Value of Spring Hulled Barley Varieties

BIEL, W. and E. JACYNO, 2013. Chemical composition and nutritive value of spring hulled barley varieties. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 721-727 The objective of this research was to evaluate the chemical composition and nutritive value of four spring hulled barley varieties (Antek, Skarb, Nagradowicki and Granal) grown in one location in Poland. In the study were determined: chemical composition, a...

Heading Date Is Not Flowering Time in Spring Barley

Understanding the stages of floral development is one of the major goals of crop breeding to produce new varieties that are better adapted to environmental cues with improved yield. The phase transition is a quantitative trait that is predominantly genetically controlled with a complex genetic network integrating endogenous and environmental factors. In recent years, it has become evident that ...
