Research Project: FHB-Resistant Barley Doubled Haploid Production

Location: Crop Production and Protection

Project Number: 0500-00053-005-214-G
Project Type: Grant

Start Date: May 1, 2026
End Date: Apr 30, 2030

Objective:
1. Produce ~ 2,000 green plantlets from the F1 donor plants: ~2,000 green plantlets (GPs) will produce ~ 1,000 fertile doubled haploid (DH) plants. 2. Produce seed from the DH and ship seed to cooperators.

Approach:
1. Receive F1 seed from the collaborating researchers identified by the Barley-CP Steering Committee as having the greatest potential to have economic impact. 2. Grow F1 donor plants. 3. Produce ~ 2,000 GPs from F1 donor plants. 4. Produce ~ 1,000 DHs from GPs. 5. Ship DH seed to collaborators.
