Abstract excerpt
The semidwarf trait is desired in cereal breeding programs for increased lodging resistance. We characterized 27 brachytic (brh) semidwarf mutants in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and located the genes on barley chromosome linkage maps. All brachytic genes were transferred into the two-rowed cultivar Bowman by backcrossing four to seven times and selecting for semidwarf plants. The brachytic lines were evaluated...
