Seedling and adult-plant stage resistance of a world collection of barley genotypes to stripe rust
Barley stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei (PSH) is one of the major
diseases in barley production regions worldwide. A total of 336 barley genotypes with
diverse genetic backgrounds targeted for ...
Sources of resistance in the existing breeding germplasm will be identified for incorporation in the elite cultivar/variety
In order to identify new sources of resistance to net blotch, a FIGS subset consisting of 96 barley accessions was screened with a mixture of 20-isolates of net blotch collected from different agro-climatic regions of ...
Regular updating of the crossing block with new barley varieties for conducting the crossing program of winter barley for different breeding objectives
The new sources of abiotic and biotic stresses have also been identified after evaluation through collaboration with NARS for phenotyping at diverse environments. Crossing blocks (CB) of barley 480 germplasm for spring ...
Identification of barley genotypes with higher protein content coupled with bold grains for food and malt barley improvement under sub-tropical climates
Grain protein content is very important trait with respect to barley grains meant for food, feed and malt purposes. Barley grain protein content was evaluated in several genotypes for two years at different locations under ...
Barley research in India: challenges and opportunities
Barley in India is grown in marginal, problematic and resource poor soils as a rainfed crop except some malt barley under contract farming. India's annual production of barley is around 1.6-1.8 m tons and area under ...
Conduct of multi-location barley international trials in target regions
Multilocation barley international trials for spring barley under low and high input environments have been conducted in Morocco, Lebanon and India. Another set of winter barley trials were conducted at Ankara, in Turkey. ...
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 ...
Genome-wide association studies revealed novel stripe rust resistance QTL in barley at seedling and adult-plant stages
Barley stripe rust, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, (PSH) occurs worldwide and is one of the major barley diseases of South Asia and North Africa. The aim of this study was to identify and map rust resistance loci at ...
Implementing breeding programs for high- & low-input, spring and winter barley
The breeding program was implemented in four countries viz. Lebanon (Terbol & AUB), Morocco (Rabat, Jemma Shaim, Allal Tazi), India (Amlaha) and Mexico (Toluca/ Obregon) to fulfil the objectives. More than 1800 new crosses ...
Experimental Designs for Alley Cropping to Estimate Shrub × Grass Interaction
Presents a series of experimental designs to estimate shrub x grass interactions and illustrates the data analysis using a simulated dataset.
