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 …

Evaluation of Genomic Prediction and the Agronomic Performance of Facultative Barley
Cultivated barley typically exhibits either a winter growth habit or a spring growth habit. Some cultivars display a facultative growth habit, allowing them to be cultivated as either winter or spring crops. This study evaluated 1,128 elite barley cultivars and breeding lines under fall and spring …

Cambridge and its economic region, 1450-1560
… to have stimulated the development of the malt barley and saffron trades in the region during the later fifteenth century. The markets and fairs of Cambridge and its region are explored, including the location of surviving markets and the regulation of marketing activity. Stourbridge fair, …

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 …

Investigation of winter wheat sowing date management and genetic architecture of malting quality in winter barley and milling/baking performance in soft red winter wheat
Wheat (Triticum aestivum, L) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) are widely grown as winter annual grains in a double crop rotation with soybean (Glycine max, L. Merr.) in much of the U.S. Improved management strategies and the development cultivars that meet the quality requirements of higher value …

Technological Innovations for Mid-Atlantic Cropping Systems
… the plant growth regulator trinexapac-ethyl to malting barley in Virginia. Plant growth regulators can help plants remain upright during strong winds, thereby preserving grain quality and yield. However, this study demonstrated that risks of plant injury also exist. Application should be …

Virginia-grown Barley for Craft Brewing: Evaluation of Free Amino Nitrogen Content and Malt Sensory Characteristics
Regionally-Grown barley is in demand for craft malting and brewing in Virginia. Barley lines suited to both Virginia's climate and craft brewing applications are currently under development. Free amino nitrogen (FAN) is a malt quality parameter that influences beer flavor directly and via yeast …
