Tapping into ancient sources of disease resistance to protect our modern barley cultivars – barley scald 2015 locations
Aims

The aim of this work is to increase the sources of multi-disease resistant germplasm available for barley variety improvement in Australia. This is being achieved by screening and identifying possible sources of resistance to barley scald and other diseases from the centres of origin of barley cultivation. 

Key messages
  • Ancient barley germplasm from Ethiopia harbours resistance to scald and other diseases.
  • Twenty-eight out of 355 Ethiopian lines were moderately resistant to scald.
  • Careful selection for disease-resistant lines is important to retain other desirable traits.
