Open AccessGenetic diversity in developmental responses to light spectral quality in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Plants use light wavelength, intensity, direction and duration to predict imminent seasonal changes and to determine when to initiate physiological and developmental processes. Among them, crop responses to li...

Open AccessFine-tuning of the flowering time control in winter barley: the importance of HvOS2 and HvVRN2 in non-inductive conditions
In winter barley plants, vernalization and photoperiod cues have to be integrated to promote flowering. Plant development and expression of different flowering promoter (HvVRN1, HvCO2, PPD-H1, HvFT1, HvFT3) and r...

Fine map** of the Rrs1 resistance locus against scald in two large populations derived from Spanish barley landraces
In two Spanish barley landraces with outstanding resistance to scald, the Rrs1 Rh4 locus was fine ...

Resistance to powdery mildew in one Spanish barley landrace hardly resembles other previously identified wild barley resistances
Two major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with resistance to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei) were previously identified on chromosome 7H of the Spanish barley line SBCC097. The two QTLs...

Barley Adaptation: Teachings from Landraces Will Help to Respond to Climate Change
Adaptation of crops to temperate climates depends to a large extent on plants having the appropriate combination of genes to respond to day length and temperature. Global warming poses new challenges to plant ...

Fine map** and comparative genomics integration of two quantitative trait loci controlling resistance to powdery mildew in a Spanish barley landrace
The intervals containing two major quantitative trait loci (QTL) from a Spanish barley landrace conferring broad spectrum resistance to Blumeria graminis were subjected to marker saturation. First, all the availa...

Open AccessAdaptation of barley to mild winters: A role for PPDH2
Understanding the adaptation of cereals to environmental conditions is one of the key areas in which plant science can contribute to tackling challenges presented by climate change. Temperature and day length ...

Open AccessGene and QTL detection in a three-way barley cross under selection by a mixed model with kinship information using SNPs
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection is commonly performed by analysis of designed segregating populations derived from two inbred parental lines, where absence of selection, mutation and genetic drift is ...

HvFT1 (VrnH3) drives latitudinal adaptation in Spanish barleys
In barley, three genes are responsible for the vernalization requirement: VrnH1, VrnH2 and VrnH3. The winter growth habit of barley requires the presence of a recessive VrnH1 allele, together with an active VrnH2

Structure, Regulation and Function of the Osmotin Gene
Over the past years several genes have been reported to be osmotically regulated (Storey and Storey, 1981; Holtum and Winter, 1982; Singh et al., 1985; Singh et al., 1987a;Bedford et al., 1987; Close et al., 1...
