Mapping of agronomic traits, disease resistance and malting quality in a wide cross of two-row barley cultivars.

Wide crosses between genetically diverged parents may reveal novel loci for crop improvement that are not apparent in crosses between elite cultivars. The landrace Chevallier was a noted malting barley first grown in 1820. To identify potentially novel alleles for agronomic traits, Chevallier was cr...
