Canadian barley: public breeding programs, cultivar registration system and market development of malting barley cultivars - https://www.barleyhub.org/seminars/
Plain language summary
The barley breeding programs are spread across Canada and have a long and successful history of collaboration with each other. Currently, the main public barley breeding programs are: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), Brandon Research and Development Centre and Ottawa Research and Development Centre; Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan; and Field Crop Development Centre, Olds College. These programs are supported in their work by pathologists, gene bank curators, quality experts and industry. An overview of these breeding programs will be discuss, the testing and evaluation system for recommending of candidate barley cultivars for registration in Western Canada, and also touch on the efforts taken towards market development of the new malting barley cultivars.
