REACTION OF BARLEYS FROM THE MIDDLE-EAST TO CANADIAN PATHOGENS

Abstract

Evaluation of 140 barleys from the Middle-East for disease reaction with Canadian pathogens indicates that this region could be a good source of resistance to Septoria passerinii, Pyrenophora teres and Rhynchosporium secalis but not to Puccinia graminis tritici, Ustilago nuda, Cochliobolus sativus or barley stripe mosaic virus.
