A study published in the journal Nature shows that researchers have succeeded in mapping the most advanced sequencing of the barley genomeone of the worlds most important cereal cropsto date. The advance will give researchers the tools to produce higher yields, improve pest and disease resistance, and enhance nutritional value of barley
This important step toward full barley genome sequencing offers enormous potential for global food security. Using the tools of genetics and genomics, we are ke
