Barley lines with higher grain beta glucan content identified
In recent years, there has been renewed interest in food barley due to it's health benefitting properties. Barley grain contains a polysaccharide, beta glucan, which has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol and glucose ...
Widening the Genetic Base of Indian Barley Through the Use of Exotics
The genetic base of improved varieties is becoming increasingly narrow due to the commonness of one or more parents in their ancestry. Thus, improved varieties may become vulnerable to the diseases, insect-pests and other ...
Seedling and adult plant resistance of barley genotypes to stripe rust pathogen (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei)
The incidence of stripe rust may be very serious in susceptible varieties and result in heavy yield losses.Both minor and major genes are known to provide stripe rust resistance in barley. Finding and characterising such ...
Genetic analyses of malting quality characters in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
The present study was undertaken to delineate the nature of gene effects, epistasis type and estimation of genetic parameters in barley. Mean hectolitre weight, grain protein content and malt friability were exhibited as ...
G × E evaluation for feed barley genotypes evaluated in country by AMMI analysis
AMMI analysis of feed barley genotypes exhibited highly significant effects of environments, genotypes
and interactions for both the years. The major portion of the total variance was described by the environmental effects

AMMI model to analyse GxE for dual purpose barley in multi-environment trials
The highly significant effects of environments, genotypes and interactions were observed for forage and grain yield. The environmental effects explained the major portion of the total variance as of 82.3% and 58.8% ...
