Genetics and Improvement of Barley Malt Quality
Author: Guoping ZhangPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642012795
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Genetics and Improvement of Barley Malt Quality presents up-to-date developments in barley production and breeding. The book is divided into nine chapters, including barley production and consumption, germplasm and utilization, chemical composition, protein and protein components, carbohydrates and sugars, starch degrading enzymes, endosperm cell walls and malting quality, genomics and malting quality improvement, and marker-assisted selection for malting quality. The information will be especially useful to barley breeders, malsters, brewers, biochemists, barley quality specialists, molecular geneticists, and biotechnologists. This book may also serve as reference text for post-graduate students and barley researchers. The authors for each chapter are the experts and frontier researchers in the specific areas. Professor Guoping Zhang is a barley breeder and crop physiologist in Department of Agronomy, Zhejiang University of China. Dr. Chengdao Li is a senior molecular geneticist and barley breeder in Department of Agriculture & Food, Western Australia. He is also an adjunct professor in Murdoch University of Australia and Zhejiang University of China.
Diversity in Barley (Hordeum vulgare)
Author: R. von BothmerPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080530478
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Genetic diversity is one of the main resources sustaining human life. Food security largely depends on the availability and utilization of this diversity, which is of strategic importance for countries and companies. Conservation and utilization of biodiversity is thus currently an urgent area of global debate and concern. Barley is a major crop in the world used for food, feed and malt, and with a wide religious and ethnic importance. The crop was domesticated in Neolithic time in SW Asia and spread rapidly under cultivation to new areas. Nowadays it is one of the most widespread and widely adapted crops grown under contrasting edaphic conditions. Adaptations to new environments, different agricultural practices and selection for different uses have further added to the complex diversity pattern. Is it at all possible to give a complete picture of the diversity in a crop or wild species? Are we, by adding new technologies, only revealing parts of the diversity? Do different sets of data show similar or conflicting pictures of genetic diversity? Will the large genome size reduce the role of barley as a model organism in these current sequencing days? Or, are there still major reasons to continue to work with this beautiful crop? The aim of this book is to cover the complex issue of diversification in time and space in a single crop: barley. Leading scientists from various fields describe the entire variation pattern in different sets of characters and an attempt is made for a synthesis to a holistic picture. The book proposes ways to use the achievements of diversity studies in future research and breeding programmes.
Barley Science

Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
Find up-to-date information on barley for malting, food, and animal feed! This comprehensive book covers every aspect of barley from molecular biology to agronomy of yield and quality. In addition to the exposition of the basic concepts, Barley Science explains the latest developments in the field. In addition, this remarkable book presents ideas and techniques for bridging the gap between physiology and breeding. Beginning with the history of this ancient cultivated grain, Barley Science presents state-of-the-art information on genetics and breeding, physiology, and agronomy. One chapter explains the CERES computer simulation of barley growth, development, and yield. Every chapter includes a thorough literature review, and you will find many helpful tables and figures. Barley Science offers cutting-edge information on the latest developments in the field, including: wild barley as a source of genes for crop improvement genetics and breeding for specific attributes genetic engineering determining barley yield under stress new breeding strategies for disease resistance choosing genotype, sowing date, and plant density for malting barley enhancing pre-harvest sprouting resistance barley proteins and malting performance Written by the top experts in the field, Barley Science is an excellent update and broadening of the information found in previous barley books. Agronomists, breeders, geneticists, and physiologists--and their students--will turn again and again to this essential resource.

Barley and Malt
Author: A. H. CookPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483274233
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 757
Book Description
Barley and Malt: Biology, Biochemistry, Technology focuses on the properties, characteristics, production, and malting of barley. The selection first discusses the botany of the barley plant and the science of malting barley production, including description of the barley plant, malting quality, and conditions influencing the yield and quality of malting barley. The text also takes a look at the breeding and identification of barley varieties. The publication elaborates on the diseases of barley and their control and evaluation of malting barley. Discussions focus on the diseases affecting yield of grain, kernel size and composition, nematodes and insects that damage barley, and evaluation of barley varieties. The book also examines malting technology, nature of malting process, and the structural chemistry of barley and malt. Topics include treatment of barley before malting, germination, changes in the endosperm, polyphenols and phenolic acids, and starch. The selection is a dependable reference for readers interested in the production and malting of barley.
