The Impact of International and National Investment in Barley Germplasm Improvement in the Developing Countries
Barley grain is used for animal feed, malt and food for human consumption. Archaeological evidence shows that barley was used in human food several thousand years ago (Bhatty, 1992). Although replaced by wheat and rice in ...
Addressing the global challenges for barley improvement through CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals
The International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) has a global mandate for
barley improvement, specifically for dry areas across the globe. ICARDA has reorganized the spring and
winter barley research ...
Genome-wide association studies of net form of net blotch resistance at seedling and adult plant stages in spring barley collection
Net form of net blotch (NFNB) of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) Drechsler (anamorph: Drechslera teres [Sacc.] Shoem.), is considered one of the major constraints of successful barley ...
Identification of drought and heat tolerant spring barley germplasm and their use in barley breeding program
Experiments were conducted for identification of drought and heat tolerant spring barley germplasm at Jemma Shaim location in Morocco with more than 2400 advanced genotypes and cultivars for their use in barley breeding ...
Molecular and phenotypic diversity of ICARDA spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) collection
Plant breeders are interested in using diverse genotypes in hybridization that can segregate for traits of importance with possibility of selection and genetic gain. Information on molecular and agro-morphological diversity ...
Genome Wild Association Studies for New Traits
Two GWAS panels were assembled that represent a sample of Jordanian barley landraces accessions (150 landraces) for drought tolerance and yield and a collection of ICARDA elite material (288 lines) for disease resistance ...
Efficient Callus Induction and Plantlets Regeneration in Durum Wheat Using Mature Embryos
The use of mature embryos as explants to initiate cultures is a best alternative to save time and costs, especially for producing somatic embryos for genetic transformation of durum wheat. However, plantlets regeneration ...
Malt barley research in India and future prospects
Malt barley improvement in India was initiated with several introductions viz. Peatland, Pedigree,
Manchuria, Odessa, Clipper, Golden Promise, Midas etc. but these varieties could not popularize due to
late maturity, low ...

Survey and disease monitoring in focal countries
The cropping season of 2015-16 has been exceptionally dry with severe drought. During the disease survey occasionally low incidence of net blotch, spot blotch and scald was observed.
It is important to note that the ...
