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 ...
Identifying Barley Genotypes for Optimum Input Conditions in the WANA Regions
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop for its high demand for grain feed and forage/ grazing for the animals as well as for human food in the WANA region under the low rainfall situations and thus creating ...
Barley yield formation under abiotic stress depends on the interplay between flowering time genes and environmental cues
Since the dawn of agriculture, crop yield has always been impaired through abiotic
stresses. In a field trial across five locations worldwide, we tested three abiotic stresses,
nitrogen deficiency, drought and salinity, ...
Impact of Front Line Demonstrations on Barley Production in Arid Zone
The study was carried out during 'rabi' seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15 in four villages of Jodhpur districts of Rajasthan to assess the impact of front line demonstration conducted by Central Arid Zone Research Institute, ...
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 ...
SSR analysis of introgression of drought tolerance from the genome of Hordeum spontaneum into cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp vulgare)
Wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) and landraces are important sources of resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses since they possess wide genetic diversity that may be missing in current elite varieties. In ...
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 ...
A comparative analysis of nonhost resistance across the two Triticeae crop species wheat and barley
Background: Nonhost resistance (NHR) protects plants against a vast number of non-adapted pathogens which implicates a potential exploitation as source for novel disease resistance strategies. Aiming at a fundamental ...
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 ...
