resistance from Chinese and Japanese barley cultivars. Mr. Guotai Yu is studying<br />

photoperiod resp<strong>on</strong>se genes and FHB resistance genes in this material. Progenies<br />

will be grown in Hangzhou, China; Fargo, ND; and Yuma, AZ to evaluate<br />

photoperiod resp<strong>on</strong>ses and to select desirable lines. Selected progenies and lines<br />

will be screened for FHB reacti<strong>on</strong>s in China and at Osnabrock, ND. They will<br />

also be evaluated for agr<strong>on</strong>omic traits and malt quality parameters.<br />

6. Early Maturity Genes in Midwest <strong>Barley</strong>. If recombinati<strong>on</strong> between the Eam6.h<br />

allele and QTLs for FHB resistance cannot be identified in Midwest malting<br />

barley, other maturity genes must be used. Initial experiments with other maturity<br />

genes suggest that genes c<strong>on</strong>trolling plant height should be revisited as barley<br />

lines adapted to the Upper Midwest are developed. The most promising maturity<br />

genes are Eam5.x from India via CIMMYT lines, eam9.l from China via Japan,<br />

and eam10.m from Russia via CIMMYT lines. In 2001 the eam9.l was found to<br />

interact with sdw1 dwarfing gene to produce relatively early semidwarf plants.<br />

The Eam5.x may show a similar interacti<strong>on</strong> with the sdw1 gene. If these<br />

observati<strong>on</strong>s can be verified, utilizati<strong>on</strong> of the sdw1 gene in development barley<br />

cultivars for ND may be possible.<br />
