Germplasm Development:<br />

113<br />

Crosses: Due to resource c<strong>on</strong>straints faced by the Tri-State <strong>Barley</strong> Commissi<strong>on</strong>s,<br />

and the fact that there are str<strong>on</strong>g two-row breeding programs in the Pacific<br />

Northwest, we decided to de-accelerate our 2-row breeding efforts for at least <strong>on</strong>e<br />

cycle. We had focused our crossing efforts <strong>on</strong> transferring disease resistance QTL<br />

alleles to Merit. In order to keep the germplasm moving through the pipeline, we<br />

sent seed of these crosses to the BARI program for advance and selecti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Germplasm advance: Per crossing, we curtailed germplasm advance, with the<br />

excepti<strong>on</strong> of 6-row populati<strong>on</strong>s involving Lacey/Tango and Sara/Tango.<br />

After <strong>on</strong>e cycle of greenhouse increase, and a cycle of stripe rust assessment in<br />

Mexico in the summer of 2001, we increased the BCD47/Bar<strong>on</strong>esse populati<strong>on</strong> of<br />

422 doubled haploid lines in New Zealand. All lines with BCD 47 levels of stripe<br />

rust resistance that are of Bar<strong>on</strong>esse height and maturity will be planted in single<br />

rep yield trials at Pendlet<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Cycle 1: Head rows<br />

2001<br />

• Due to drought c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s and the resulting water wars we were not<br />

able to grow plots in the Klamath Basin in 2001.<br />

<strong>2002</strong><br />

• 105 lines BSR resistant 6-rows from the Orca/Stander/Tango/Excel<br />

SSD populati<strong>on</strong>s will be planted at Tule Lake.<br />

Cycle 2: Single replicati<strong>on</strong> yield trials<br />

2001<br />

• An Augmented PYT c<strong>on</strong>sisting of 205 lines, including checks, was<br />

grown at Pendlet<strong>on</strong>. This nursery c<strong>on</strong>sisted primarily of double<br />

haploids derived from crosses of the stripe rust resistance gene<br />

pyramids (Ops, Ajo, Bu, and Sal) with a Czech selecti<strong>on</strong> (He6890).<br />

The drought stress at Pendlet<strong>on</strong>, coupled with selecti<strong>on</strong> against short<br />

statue, allowed us to select lines for replicated trials in <strong>2002</strong>. <strong>Malting</strong><br />

quality data <strong>on</strong> these selecti<strong>on</strong>s has not been received from the CCRU.<br />

• RCSLYT - 52 entries from the Hordeum vulgare subsp. sp<strong>on</strong>taneum<br />

introgressi<strong>on</strong>s with Harringt<strong>on</strong> were grown at Pendlet<strong>on</strong>, Aberdeen,<br />

Pullman, Saskato<strong>on</strong>, and Bozeman. These data, shown in Table 10,<br />

are quite exciting: the sp<strong>on</strong>taneum accessi<strong>on</strong> clearly c<strong>on</strong>tributed<br />

positive alleles for seed size and weight. In some cases, this led to<br />

higher yield. <strong>Malting</strong> quality data <strong>on</strong> these selecti<strong>on</strong>s has not been<br />

received.
