Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Key QTLs were identified for P efficiency in barley. Phosphorus efficiency and grain yield can be improved simultaneously in breeding. An important breeding goal for many crop species is improved phosphorus (P) efficiency. As in many other crops, selection for P efficient barley varieties has been slow because of inconsistent definitions of P efficiency and unknown genetic controls of P efficiency....
