Evaluation of the secondary genepool of barley as a genetic resource of barley yellow dwarf virus resistance
Project
Project code: JKI-ZL-08-3177
Contract period: 01.10.2007
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Applied research
The wild barley Hordeum bulbosum is a valuable genetic resource for broadening the genetic diversity of cultivated barley. Some genes that are effective against the entire soil-born virus complex, Puccinia hordei and Erysyphe graminis have been transferred already. Within the secondary genepool of barley one accession has been evaluated that confers a complete resistance (immunity) to the barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), which is the most widely distributed viral disease of cereals. The aim of the project is to investigate the genetic basis of this resistance, its usefulness for resistance breeding in barley to reduce yield losses as well as use of pesticides, and the feasibility of marker-assisted transfer of resistance genes into breeding lines of barley.
