Harnessing novel genetic markers for scald resistance from gene bank spring barley genotypes
The identification of QTL for scald resistance, along with favorable allele identification, will be crucial for marker-assisted breeding programs. These findings will facilitate the development of new scald-resistant cultivars and contribute to the sustainability of barley production. Further studies, such as fine-mapping of candidate genes within these identified QTL regions, will help to narrow down the potential causative genetic variants and understand their functional effects on scald resistance.
