Spring Regi<strong>on</strong>al over two years at Davis and had near-malting quality. All of the parents<br />

in these three crosses have short stature. The two-rowed effort is more advanced than<br />

the six-rowed effort and the developmental pipeline is full of two-rowed material.<br />

The Oreg<strong>on</strong> St. Univ. six-rowed winter barley (STAB47/KAB51-20) was crossed into<br />

the winter by spring gene pool to create new populati<strong>on</strong>s. In July ‘06 winter by spring<br />

segregating populati<strong>on</strong>s in the F2 and F3 generati<strong>on</strong>s were sent to Pat Hayes for<br />

selecti<strong>on</strong> in a sec<strong>on</strong>d envir<strong>on</strong>ment. STUC 6 c<strong>on</strong>tinues to be the best six-rowed source<br />

of BYDV and stripe rust resistance combined with near-malting quality. Segregating<br />

populati<strong>on</strong>s of STUC 6 crossed to 6B96-9339, Drumm<strong>on</strong>d, and 94AB13449 are am<strong>on</strong>g<br />

the F3 bulks. The project has c<strong>on</strong>tinued to identify suitable malting barley parents and to<br />

create new populati<strong>on</strong>s. New crosses to be made in April ’07 will use Traditi<strong>on</strong>, Robust<br />

‘RWA’ (Russian Wheat Aphid resistant) lines developed by the USDA, and 01NZ706,<br />

which is ant643/WA9138-87//6B95-8253 supplied by Ditter v<strong>on</strong>Wetstein and the highest<br />

grain yielder in the Western Spring Regi<strong>on</strong>al barley trial grown at Davis in ‘06.<br />

Segregating populati<strong>on</strong>s of C<strong>on</strong>rad crossed to ICARDA/CIMMYT lines were planted<br />

as F3 bulks. Subsamples were sent previously to BARI for selecti<strong>on</strong> in a sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />

envir<strong>on</strong>ment . Orca and ND22202 crosses to Mexican materials are in the F2<br />

generati<strong>on</strong>. Madre Selva barley was used as a source of resistance to CYDV. Materials<br />

planted at Davis from other programs include the following: advanced lines from the<br />

cross BCD 47 to Bar<strong>on</strong>esse, BARI elite lines, and Tango X Lacey F3 lines. Twenty new<br />

crosses for malting quality were made in April ’06. Subsequently the F1’s were grown<br />

out at Ft. Collins by BuschAg. The harvested seeds were planted at Davis in Nov. ’06.<br />

Reserve F1 seeds were planted at Davis in Nov. ’06. New two-rowed parents likely to<br />

be used in crossing are Craft and 98AB11993, the latter of which was highly productive<br />

in the Western Spring Regi<strong>on</strong>al barley trial grown at Davis. The most time c<strong>on</strong>suming<br />

part of the project is given to selecti<strong>on</strong>, harvesting, seed processing and preparati<strong>on</strong> for<br />

planting subsequent generati<strong>on</strong>s in the germplasm pipeline.<br />

Most significant accomplishment<br />

The project has created its first malting advanced line germplasm worthy of distributi<strong>on</strong><br />

to other interested breeders (Table 1). Entries in bold type were created at UC Davis.<br />

Crosses involving Oreg<strong>on</strong> St. parents (described above) developed by Pat Hayes were<br />

made to a selecti<strong>on</strong> from the ICARDA/CIMMYT cross of TTA, which was originally<br />

planted at Davis in 1995 as a F2 populati<strong>on</strong> supplied by Hugo Vivar. The TTA<br />

populati<strong>on</strong> was selected for its absence of foliar diseases, short stature, and<br />

productivity. The TTA populati<strong>on</strong> and subsequent selecti<strong>on</strong>s were resistant to all<br />

diseases noted at Davis over several years during the selecti<strong>on</strong> process. BCD 47 like<br />

TTA appeared resistant to stripe rust, scald and net blotch but BCD 47 was susceptible<br />

to barley yellow dwarf virus and powdery mildew at Davis. Several lines from the TTA<br />

populati<strong>on</strong> were evaluated by CCRU and <strong>on</strong>e line was selected for crossing to BCD 47,<br />

BU, and SAL. Three lines (BCD/TTA-MQ29, BCD/TTA-N, and BCD/TTA-V) had CCRU<br />

quality scores above 60 compared to the highest CCRU Harringt<strong>on</strong> check quality value<br />

of 50. The lines having the MQ 28 and MQ29 designati<strong>on</strong> have two years of favorable<br />
