Objective:
Identify and incorporate into barley cultivars genes that confer a high level of resistance to FHB and the accumulation of mycotoxins.
Approach:
1) determine the number, effect, and chromosomal position of FHB resistance loci in the select barley accession PI350725 (a two-rowed variety from the Tyrol in Austria) using the advanced backcross QTL method and 2) provide adapted FHB-resistant parental materials to barley improvement programs.
