Studies from T.S. Grewal and co-researchers in the area of agriculture and crop research published.

According to a study from Saskatoon, Canada, "With the advancement of molecular marker technology and computer software, mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) for complex traits in agricultural crops is frequent; however, exploitation of these QTL in practical breeding programs is limited. Here we report the validation of molecular markers linked to net blotch resistance QTL and their utilization in a barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) breeding program."

"Barley net blotch, caused by Pyrenophora teres Drechs. [anamorph: Drechslera teres (Sacc.) Shoemaker], is a serious foliar disease in Canada and other parts of the world. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers linked to net-form net …
