List of the 600 barley varieties (website)

(T3.1)Three panels of 200 barley genotypes each will be selected based on genetic diversity, growth type (spring and winter) and geographical representation with emphasis on Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. The first panel will consist of a high diversity assembly of landrace- and barley wild relative-derived genotypes developed by ICARDA for which previous knowledge of phenotypic variability for abiotic stress tolerance is available. The second and third panel will consist of mostly European and Mediterranean Basin cultivars representative of those grown in the region assembled in growth type-specific panels. All accessions are available as multiplied seed stocks from ICARDA and will be accessible through the project website (www.barleymicrobreed.eu).
