Quantitative trait loci impacting grain β‐glucan content in wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) reveals genes associated with cell wall modification and carbohydrate metabolism
2022-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seeds are a rich source of β‐glucans that can help reduce blood serum cholesterol content in human diets. However, high levels of this polysaccharide in the seeds causes inefficiencies such as slow lautering during the brewing process due to the higher wort viscosity. Thus, depending on the end use, barley breeding programs have opposing goals with respect to β‐glucan. Discovery of new...
