Abstract excerpt
Frost at flowering can cause significant damage to cereal crops. QTL for low temperature tolerance in reproductive tissues (LTR tolerance) were previously described on barley 2HL and 5HL chromosome arms. With the aim of identifying potential LTR tolerance mechanisms, barley Amagi Nijo x WI2585 and Haruna Nijo x Galleon populations were examined for flowering time and spike morphology traits associated with the...
