Abstract excerpt
Alpha-Amylase activity is the primary underlying factor for starch degradation and therefore yield and quality losses induced by preharvest sprouting (PHS) in barley. The present study identified genomic regions/candidate causal genes associated with PHS-induced α-amylase (AMY) activity through genome-wide association study (GWAS) of highly diverse barley genotypes over four environments. The genotypes studied...
