..., allelic variants generated by mutational studies could provide a means for more efficient cloning of QTLs (quantitative trait loci). In barley ( Hordeum vulgare ), with the development of high-throughput genome analysis tools, efficient genome-wide identification of genetic loci harbouring mutant alleles...

...R. Panstruga In the dicotyledonous plant species Arabidopsis and the monocot barley, presence of specific isoforms of the family of heptahelical plasma membrane-localized MLO proteins is required for successful host-cell invasion by ascomycete powdery mildew fungi. Absence of these MLO proteins...

...A. Baldwin; D. Francis; H. J. Rogers; J. L. Harwood The thiocarbamate herbicide pebulate inhibits fatty acid elongation, which is necessary for surface lipid biosynthesis. As both barley and wild oats are susceptible to pebulate, the safener dichlormid was used to study the reversal of its...
