Barley pathogens in Iceland: Identification, virulence and genetic structure of major barley pathogens in Iceland
Leaf samples were collected from 27 barley fields in Iceland in August 2007 in order to analyze the diversity of fungal species growing on barley. Twelve fungal species were found on 277 successfully analyzed leaves, including two widespread barley pathogens, Rhynchosporium secalis and Pyrenophora …

Using a barley Nested Association Mapping (NAM) Population to mine wild barley germplasm for crop improvement
Modern cultivar barley, like other cultivated cereals, went through the so called “domestication syndrome”, by which early farmers subjected the crop to a consistent selection that led to gradual changes in its characteristics and architecture. The result is that the modern cultivar differs from …

Digestibility, Nitrogen Balance, and Blood Metabolites in Llama and Alpaca Fed Barley and Barley Alfalfa Forages.
… UT (altitude 1370 m). Animals were randomly fed barley hay (B) and 80% barley/20% alfalfa hay (BA). A fresh cut grass pasture (P) was included as the third forage for Bolivian llamas. Animals were housed in metabolism crates and diets were fed for a 7 d adjustment period followed by a 5 d …

The cloning of calmodulincDNAs from barley and Arabidopsis and expression of barley calmodulin in transgenic tobacco
Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein found in eukaryotes, and appears to be essential for growth and development. CaM is thought to play a pivotal role in modulating biochemical pathways in conjunction with transient calcium fluxes into the cytoplasm. In order to better understand …

Intensive management of barley in Saskatchewan
Two experiments were conducted in barley to assess the feasibility of Intesive Cereal Managment (ICM) and to evaluate plant growth regulator (PGR) type, rate and time of application. The first experiment consisted of ten tests assessing ICM with three levels of N (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1) above soil …

Genomic selection for accelerated barley breeding
… with the increasing demand for new and improved barley varieties, commercial interest in novel breeding techniques which improve efficiency is high. With a growing population and a range of evolving demands placed on crop production by a more variable climate, breeders need new methods to breed …

Transpiration and the water relations of barley
… and stomatal conductance were made with a barley crop over the spring and summer of 1979. From these measurements a model of transpiration from barley was developed. Predictions of the model were compared with Bowen ratio measurements of evapotranspiration on a selection of days whose …

Understanding molecular events during barley aphid interactions
… yield losses on crops, including cereals such as barley. While most aphid species are limited to one or few host species, some are able to reproduce on many plants belonging to different families. Interestingly, aphid probing-behaviour can be observed on both host and non-host plants indicating …

Assessing wild barley germplasm in multiparent and advanced backcross populations for mapping, gene discovery, and improvement of malting barley
Wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum), the progenitor of cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare), is a rich source of genetic diversity. This diversity is not easily exploited due to challenges inherent in identifying and extracting beneficial alleles from widely unadapted …

Functional Characterization of Metallothioneins in Arabidopsis and Barley
… development in the quadruple mutant.</p> <p>In barley, I identified 9 barley MT genes from EST databases. Study of RNA expression demonstrated that MT gene expression is tissue specific. When barley plants were grown under various concentration of Cu and Zn, <em>MT2a, MT2b</em> and <em>MT3</em> …
