towards the development of RWA and Greenbug resistant winter hulless barleys<br />

adapted to Oklahoma with the end use of ethanol producti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

<strong>Barley</strong> accessi<strong>on</strong>s recently added to the NSGC were screened for RWA1 resistance.<br />

Other barley research and future directi<strong>on</strong> of the program<br />

A cooperative project with Lynn Dahleen, USDA-ARS, Fargo, ND, entered its sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />

year to find genetic markers for RWA resistance in STARS 9301B and STARS 9577B to<br />

aid in genetic diversity studies and in marker assisted selecti<strong>on</strong> of resistant germplasm<br />

lines. 300 F2:F3 lines from the STARS 9577B populati<strong>on</strong> were phenotyped twice for<br />

this project in 2006.<br />

A project has been initiated to develop hulless winter barleys for ethanol producti<strong>on</strong> in<br />

the Southern Plains. 80 winter hulless barley accessi<strong>on</strong>s and 240 hulled winter barley<br />

lines were grown replicated tests and evaluated at 2 locati<strong>on</strong>s in Oklahoma in 2006.<br />

The hulled barleys were in a Post 90 background with RWA resistance from 10 different<br />

sources. Post 90 is also resistant to all currently identified biotypes of Greenbug.<br />

<strong>Barley</strong> grown in Oklahoma will need resistance to both RWA and Greenbug. All hulless<br />

lines were evaluated for %starch by Patricia Rayas-Duarte at Oklahoma State<br />

University. 19 hulless lines were selected for crossing with 25 RWA-resistant, hulled<br />

germplasm lines.<br />
