Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: One major QTL-controlling malt extract was identified on 2H, based on the data from four different environments and a large number of DH lines, determining 48% of phenotypic variation. This QTL is of a high value for marker-assisted selection. Improving malting quality traits is one of the major breeding objectives for barley breeding programmes. Among different quality traits, malt extract is one of...
