Abstract:Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop used in animal feed, beer brewing, and food production. Quality traits of barley grain, such as starch and protein contents, have specific requirements depending on the intended end-use product. In this study, 250 barley accessions were evaluated for key grain quality traits, including protein content (GPC), starch content (GSC) and fibre content (GFC) across a two-year period. Through genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis, we identified 96 signif… Show more
