two new hull-less barley varieties for rainfed areas in egypt

Abstract: Giza 130 and Giza 131 are two six rowed spring type hull-less barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties identified by the Egyptian/French Hull-Less Barley Project, Field Crops Research Institute at Giza, Egypt and released in October, 2001. They were selected for rainfed areas of Egypt as drought tolerant varieties to be used as dual purposes for food and feed. Giza 130 has been selected from the crosses “Comp.cross” 229//Bco.Mr./DZ02391/3/Deir Alla 106 using the bulk method. Giza 131 from the cross CM67-B/CENTENO//CAM-B/3/ROW906.73/4/GLORIA-BAR/COME-B/5/FALCON -BAR/6/LINO using the pedigree method. The two varieties have been evaluated for four seasons in different environments including screening, preliminary and advanced multi-location yield trails as well as in farmers fields (on-farm trials). Twenty-two trials have been carried out during four seasons: 1998/1999, 1999/2000, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002. The two new hull-less barley varieties outyielded the national check (hulled variety Giza 126) for both grain yield and straw yield. In addition, the two new varieties Giza 130 and Giza 131 as well as Giza 126 were stable under rainfed conditions. DNA profiling was done for the two varieties to characterize each one. Both new varieties showed moderate resistance to leaf rust and powdery mildew and resistance to net blotch and stripe disease.
