"Given that the resistant wild barley accessions were discovered in Jordan, this research will also provide clues as to where one might possibly identify additional sources of stem rust resistance." ...

Biodiversity goes beyond species diversity ... To characterise genetic diversity between cultivated and wild barley forms throughout the whole genome, the researchers searched for so-called ...

An international research team from Australia and China unveiled the first chromosome-scale genome of a wild barley species. The team believes its findings offer direct implications for more ...

Furthermore, seed dormancy in wild barley is much longer than seed dormancy observed in these other cereal species. We have identified a gene that defines a major dormancy trait in wild ancestral ...

"Crossing with natural variants of wild barley is often accompanied by yield losses. Remarkably, this wasn't the case in our study," adds Maurer. The barley with the special natural ELF3 variant ...

Barley is the second most important cereal crop grown in the UK – used as animal fodder, in human foods such as health foods, soups and stews, and also in the drinks production industry. High quality ...

In one experiment, researchers are cross-breeding wild barley from dry regions of Israel with normal Scottish barley in search of genes associated with drought tolerance. This could help develop ...

The bread's ingredients included wild barley, wild wheat, wild oats and club rush tuber, an aquatic plant. "If you're a hunter-gatherer you need to have reliable resources. You can't set up a ...

Led by researchers from Murdoch University and the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences (BAAFS), the groundbreaking study of the wild barley species Hordeum brevisubulatum ...
