UOS2301-003RTX Overseas (Mexico) barley phenotyping 2024
Last updated: 04/09/2025
A set comprising of 48 released Australian barley cultivars, and 861 (plus controls) breeding lines were screened at Toluca, Mexico for assessing barley stripe rust (BYR) resistance and susceptibility against Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei (Psh) race 24 (PshMEX-1). High quality phenotypic data was generated on these lines.
