Genetic relationships between preharvest sprouting and dormancy in barley
Preharvest sprouting (PHS) and dormancy (DOR) can be problems in barley production and end use quality, especially for barley used for seed and malting. Three crosses previously analyzed for DOR inheritance, w...

Patterns of genetic and eco-geographical diversity in Spanish barleys
The pool of Western Mediterranean landraces has been under-utilised for barley breeding so far. The objectives of this study were to assess genetic diversity in a core collection of inbred lines derived from S...

QTL analysis of a cross between European and North American malting barleys reveals a putative candidate gene for β-glucan content on chromosome 1H
To determine the genetic factors influencing grain β-glucan content, that were effective in a population of two-row barley grown in very contrasting environments, 102 doubled haploid lines from the cross Beka ...

Chloroplast DNA microsatellite analysis supports a polyphyletic origin for barley
Five barley chloroplast DNA microsatellites (cpSSRs) were used to study genetic relationships among a set of 186 barley accessions—34 Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum (HS accessions) from Morocco, Ethiopia, Cyprus...

Use of new EST markers to elucidate the genetic differences in grain protein content between European and North American two-rowed malting barleys
A population comprising 102 doubled haploid lines were produced from a cross between Beka, a barley cultivar widely grown in Spain, and Logan, a north American cultivar with inherently low protein content, a c...

Genetic control of dormancy in a Triumph/Morex cross in barley
Seed dormancy in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important parameters affecting malting. Seed dormancy is quantitatively inherited and variously influenced by the environment. The objectives of the...

Mildew-resistant mutants induced in North American two- and six-rowed malting barley cultivars
Mildew-resistant mutants were induced with sodium azide in three North American malting barley cultivars, two in the six-rowed Ursula (URS1 and URS2), one in the six-rowed Gertrud (GER1), and one in the two-r...

Efficient production of androgenic doubled-haploid mutants in barley by the application of sodium azide to anther and microspore cultures
The aim of this study was to establish a protocol for an efficient production of agronomical and/or physiological mutants from model (cvs. Igri and Cobra) and low-androgenic-responding (cv. Volga) cultivars o...

Further evidence supporting Morocco as a centre of origin of barley
Thirty-five populations of H. spontaneum from nine countries, encompassing almost all the known range of distribution of the species, Afghanistan, Crete (Greece), Cyprus, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Morocco and T...

A mutant induced in the malting barley cv Triumph with reduced dormancy and ABA response
Induced mutants in the barley cultivar Triumph have been screened for reduced dormancy. One line, which germinated readily 2 weeks after harvest, was classified as ABA-insensitive, since it could tolerate a t...

Article
The Spanish barley core collection
Spanish barleys constitute a germplasm group of particular interest for breeding purposes, as Spain has been proposed as a possible centre of origin of the crop. The Spanish National Germplasm Bank (Banco Naci...

Article
On the origin of Spanish two-rowed barleys
To investigate the phylogenetic origin of Spanish two-rowed barleys, we studied 44 accessions of old land-races both morphologically and biochemically to ascertain their similarity with 51 entries of old culti...

Article
Integration of statistical and physiological analyses of adaptation of near-isogenic barley lines
Seven near-isogenic barley lines, differing for three independent mutant genes, were grown in 15 environments in Spain. Genotype x environment interaction (G x E) for grain yield was examined with the Additive...

Article
Quantitative phenotypical expression of three mutant genes in barley and the basis for defining an ideotype for Mediterranean environments
Three mutants induced in the two-rowed barley variety Beka and their three binary recombinants have been used in an attempt to define an ideotype suitable for Mediterranean agroclimatic conditions. Physiologic...

Article
Fast-germinating low β-glucan mutants induced in barley with improved malting quality and yield
Mutation breeding has been used to improve the speed of germination in the high-yielding spring barley variety Troubadour. Five mutants were selected which combined fast germination and good agronomic performa...

Morocco as a possible domestication center for barley: biochemical and agromorphological evidence
The distribution of genetic variants of a group of low molecular weight, chloroform-methanol soluble proteins (CM proteins), among Moroccan and non-Moroccan accessions of Hordeum spontaneum and among selections f...

Genetics of CM-proteins (A-hordeins) in barley
The CM-proteins, which are the main components of the A-hordeins, include four previously described proteins (CMa-1, CMb-1, CMc-1, CMd-1), plus a new one, CMe-1, which has been tentatively included in this gro...
