Objectives Met in the One-Year Funding period<br />

<strong>Barley</strong> and Malt Quality Analyses<br />

• Screened 3350 early generati<strong>on</strong> samples for barley quality, and 130 variety plot<br />

samples for malt quality.<br />

o Data for the NDSU Variety Development Program was used to make<br />

decisi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> lines submitted for advanced testing.<br />

• Micro-malted and provided malt quality analyses (n=181) for a study <strong>on</strong><br />

transgenic barley showing partial resistance to FHB.<br />

• Micro-malted and provided malt quality analyses (n=98) for a study <strong>on</strong> adaptati<strong>on</strong><br />

of European germplasm in western ND and eastern MT.<br />

o These lines may prove of value under irrigati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, and may<br />

provide growers with a competitive crop (barley) until adapted domestic<br />

cultivars are released.<br />

<strong>Research</strong><br />

• Identified significant interference from beta-amylase in the standard ASBC<br />

method for the determinati<strong>on</strong> of alpha-amylase in malt (method Malt-7)<br />

Most Significant Accomplishment<br />

• Provided value services to barley grower, industry and researcher stakeholders,<br />

while maintaining a good balance of applied barley research.<br />
