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...

Selection footprints in barley breeding lines detected by combining genoty**-by-sequencing with reference genome information
This study is a retrospective analysis of an elite cross from the Spanish National Barley Breeding Program. This was the most successful cross produced in the breeding program in the past 20 years. The progeny...

Quantitative trait loci for agronomic traits in an elite barley population for Mediterranean conditions
Advances in plant breeding through marker-assisted selection (MAS) are only possible when genes or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) can contribute to the improvement of elite germplasm. A population of recombina...

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 ...

Introgression of an intermediate VRNH1 allele in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leads to reduced vernalization requirement without affecting freezing tolerance
The process of vernalization is mainly controlled by two genes in winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), VRNH1 and VRNH2. A recessive allele at VRNH1 and a dominant allele at VRNH2 must be present to induce a vernal...

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

Joint analysis for heading date QTL in small interconnected barley populations
The purpose of the present work is to validate the effect of the main QTL determining heading date in a set of 281 doubled haploid lines of barley, derived from 17 small interconnected populations, whose paren...

The pathologic cycle of the infection of the microsporidian Microgemma ovoidea (Thèl., 1895) Amigó et al. 1996 in the liver of the Red Band Fish (Cepola macrophthalma L.)
Pathologic study of the lesions caused by Microgemma ovoidea has shown that after the formation of the xenoma (stage 1), the parasitized cell is infiltrated by host macrophages (stage 2) and quickly encysted by ...
