  • Release : 2018-08-18
  • ISBN : 3319925288
  • Pages : 400 pages

Download or read book The Barley Genome written by Nils Stein and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of the state-of-the-art in barley genome analysis, covering all aspects of sequencing the genome and translating this important information into new knowledge in basic and applied crop plant biology and new tools for research and crop improvement. Unlimited access to a high-quality reference sequence is removing one of the major constraints in basic and applied research. This book summarizes the advanced knowledge of the composition of the barley genome, its genes and the much larger non-coding part of the genome, and how this information facilitates studying the specific characteristics of barley. One of the oldest domesticated crops, barley is the small grain cereal species that is best adapted to the highest altitudes and latitudes, and it exhibits the greatest tolerance to most abiotic stresses. With comprehensive access to the genome sequence, barley’s importance as a genetic model in comparative studies on crop species like wheat, rye, oats and even rice is likely to increase.

Book Lodging Control and Yield Enhancement in Morex Spring Barley with Paclobutrazol Treatment

Download or read book Lodging Control and Yield Enhancement in Morex Spring Barley with Paclobutrazol Treatment written by Laura A. Morrison and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lodging in cereals can cause significant decreases in yield. It is both a problem in susceptible cereal cultivars with a tall-stemmed, weak-strawed growing habit and in lodging-resistant cereal cultivars when they are grown under high-nitrogen, high-moisture regimes. Plant growth regulators (PGR's) are chemical growth retardants that offer a method of lodging control. For the susceptible cultivars that are not amenable to genetic shortening through plant breeding, PGR's accomplish on a seasonal basis what has not been possible through gene manipulation. For cultivars that become susceptible in the high-intensive systems of modern agriculture, PGR's can be integrated into the chemical regime to control the lodging-promoting conditions created by yield-promotion practices. Morex spring barley is a lodging-susceptible cultivar that is tall-stemmed and weak-strawed. This growth habit aggravates the lodging problem when Morex is grown under intensive yield-promoting conditions. In greenhouse and field experiments, chemical control of the Morex lodging tendency was tested with an experimental chemical, Paclobutrazol. Paclobutrazol acts on the endogenous gibberellin hormone system in the plant by inhibiting its synthesis. The chemical's effect on the cereal plant is reported to occur in the internodes which Paclobutrazol shortens by decreasing longitudinal growth and strengthens by increasing transverse growth. Lodging control is realized through height reduction which lessens the torque effect created by the weather conditions that actually cause the event of lodging to occur. Paclobutrazol caused significant shortening of the basal internodes in the greenhouse and field experiments. Uncharacteristic of the expected effect, the PGR did not strengthen the shortened internodes. Specific stem weight and breaking strength values for the treated plants were significantly lower than the corresponding control values. In the field, Paclobutrazol delayed lodging until after the critical lodging period that occurs from approximately 15 days before anthesis to 15 days after anthesis. Lodging control was reflected in yield increases. Treated plots yielded significantly higher than did the control plots. The two high treatments of 800 and 1000 g/ha also yielded significantly higher than did the low treatments of 400 and 600 g/ha. Yield increases in the treated plots can be attributed to improved seed filling given the fact that lodging in the control plots occurred during the period when yield losses are caused by poor seed development. Unfortunately, the data did not give any clear indication of other possible sources of yield enhancement. Beneficial effects of Paclobutrazol on the tillering and inflorescence development that several researchers have reported for the PGR, Chlormequat, were not evident. The experiments showed that Paclobutrazol is effective on Morex spring barley as a chemical lodging control agent and yield enhancer. A clear association of reduced height with lodging control and concomitantly with yield increases was shown by the data. The absence of improved stem strength raised questions concerning the mechanism of Paclobutrazol's effect on the barley species and the possible mechanism of its effect in combination with nitrogen fertility.

Book Maximizing Barley Production Under High input Conditions Via Semi dwarf Varieties in Saskatchewan

Download or read book Maximizing Barley Production Under High input Conditions Via Semi dwarf Varieties in Saskatchewan written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semi-dwarf barleys Duke, Samson and Winchester were compared with the standard cultivars Heartland and Leduc for performance under high yielding irrigated and low yielding dryland conditions from 1986 to 1989. Various planting rates were evaluated to determine the optimum seed rate for their production. The use of irrigated sites was evaluated to develop methodology for straw strength selection purposes in a barley breeding program. The development of strong strawed barley genotypes for Saskatchewan was evaluated, the effect of variable seeding depth was studied, and the relative response of semi-dwarf and normal genotypes to residual soil incorporating trifluralin herbicide was evaluated.
