Annual Progress Report on Malting Barley Research March, 2002

29
rust resistant NSGC accessions originated in Ethiopia, with the balance coming from 45
other countries. Testing for reaction to barley stripe rust continued at Cochabamba
through 1996, with the focus on these barley stripe rust evaluation trials moving to
Toluca, Mexico; Mt. Vernon, Washington; and other locations in subsequent years. In
addition to the evaluation of NSGC germplasm, barley stripe rust evaluation trials at
Cochabamba, Bolivia and other locations have also included a number of barley varieties
and elite lines from several cooperators. Cooperators that have submitted entries for
evaluation in recent years include Busch Agricultural Resources, Inc.; Coors Brewing
Company; Montana State University; North Dakota State University; Oregon State
University; Plant Breeders 1; Texas A&M University; University of California - Davis;
University of Minnesota; USDA-ARS Aberdeen, Idaho; Utah State University;
Washington State University; and Western Plant Breeders.
*The authors wish to acknowledge the important contributions of the NSGGRF staff in
this germplasm evaluation effort, with special thanks to Glenda B. Rutger, Greg G. Laine,
Carol S. Truman, Judy Bradley, Kay B. Calzada, Karla Reynolds, and Dave E. Burrup.
