Barley Improvement Program Advances In Disease Resistance
In 1985 the project aimed to find inheritance patterns and links between stem rust and smut resistance. The program expanded to include malting quality factors and plans to merge these efforts to align disease resistance with agronomic traits. Progress is encouraging with several new smut resistance sources found and preliminary work showing multiple resistance gene types.
