    Genetic 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...

    Fine-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...

    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 ...

    Gene 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
