| Title | Evaluation of barley yellow dwarf virus tolerance: a controlled field system compared with a molecular marker test |
| Content | For the evaluation of BYDV tolerance, a controlled field system was developed to test barley lines from a breeding programme. ELISA tests confirmed the presence of the virus in the plants. Visual assessments were made during the spring to select tolerant F4 generations. A PCR marker was used to discriminate between Yd2 and non-Yd2 barley plants. In parallel trials, plants were analysed for the presence of the Yd2 gene. Results obtained with the controlled field systems were compared with the PCR test. The cost and time taken were evaluated for each method and the breeding possibilities offered with the combined methods are discussed. |
