Article Synopsis
- Heading time in barley is crucial for adaptation to environmental conditions and influences grain yield, with agronomy and genetics playing key roles in escaping stresses like frost and drought.
- This study aims to analyze the genetic characteristics of 118 barley recombinants to find the best genotype and planting date combinations for avoiding extreme weather and improving grain yield.
- Results indicate that certain gene combinations, particularly recessive alleles of VRN-H2 and EPS2, are more beneficial in hot climates, suggesting that early sowing in these regions can help mitigate heat stress while maintaining yields.
Increasing crop yields to ensure food security is a major challenge. Mutagenesis is an important tool in crop improvement and is free of the regulatory restrictions imposed on genetically modified organisms. The forward genetic approach enables the identification of improved or novel phenotypes that can be exploited in conventional breeding programmes.
