Developing Low-GN and GN-zero Winter Malt Barley for the Eastern United States
… (GN) are carcinogenic precursors produced by barley as a natural defense against insects. The most common GN in barley, epiheterodendrin (EPH), contains a cyanide group that, when combined with heat and copper during distillation, forms ethyl carbamate (EC), a known carcinogen. While GN-zero …

The Genetic Architecture of Grain Quality and its Temporal Relationship with Growth and Development in Winter Malting Barley (Hordeum vulgare)
This thesis explores the genetic architecture of malting quality within the Virginia Tech barley breeding program, and discusses implications for imposing selection on complex traits that are difficult to phenotype. Malting quality measures are destructive, and can not be performed before selection …
