Brazil imports about 60% of all the malt used by brewing industry which is spread throughout country. Even though it an agricultural country, only a small portion barley production has characteristics to produce for brewing. Seeking supply ever-growing demand and reducing dependency on other countries logistic costs, malting industries genetic enhancement companies endeavor adapt Brazilian Sava...

Variation in the currently recognized species, Barbatula nuda (Bleeker 1865), from North China was studied, and three distinct species are identified: B. nuda, B. toni, and B. gibba sp. nov.. The name B. nuda is presently misapplied; this species is distinct from B. toni, a species widely distributed in Northeast China, and occurs only in the Liao-He basin of Liaoning Province and the Tumen-Jia...

Demand is increasing for locally grown malt barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in northeastern North America, driven primarily by growth the craft beer sector. A multi-site experiment was conducted to evaluate how variety (V), seeding rate (S), and nitrogen (N) fertilizer affect quality northeast. Two varieties (Cerveza Newdale), two rates (200 400 seeds m ?2 ), five of actual applied N fertility (0, ...

The origin, evolution, and distribution of cultivated barley provides powerful insights into the historic origin and early spread of agrarian culture. Here, population-based genetic diversity and phylogenetic analyses were performed to determine the evolution and origin of barley and how domestication and subsequent introgression have affected the genetic diversity and changes in cultivated bar...

Semi-arid regions are reliant on irrigation to produce large-yielding and high-quality malt barley (Hordeum vulgare, L.). Drought in the western United States is of concern as surface ground water reductions occurring that affect availability. Implementing a seasonal deficit compared evapotranspiration (ET) potential strategy reduce usage if yield quality can be maintained. Research was conduct...

Amarowicz R., Żegarska Z., Pegg R. B., Karamać M., Kosińska A. (2007): Antioxidant and radical scavenging activities of a barley crude extract and its fraction. Czech J. Food Sci., 25: 73–80. Phenolic compounds were extracted from the Candle variety of hull-less waxy barley with 80% (v/v) methanol to yield a crude preparation. Seven fractions (I–VII) were separated from the barley extract so ob...
