Identification of Ideal Allele Combinations for the Adaptation of Spring Barley to Northern Latitudes

Identification of Ideal Allele Combinations for the Adaptation of Spring Barley to Northern Latitudes

The northwards expansion of barley production requires adaptation to longer days, lower temperatures and stronger winds during the growing season. We have screened 169 lines of the current barley breeding gene pool in the Nordic region with regards to heading, maturity, height, and lodging under dif...
