Sentence examples for barley spike from inspiring English sources

VRS1 changes barley spike morphology by suppressing the lateral spikelets.

The barley spike carries a set of three spikelets at each rachis node.

Since the present study has been restricted to spring barley, spike morphology and geographical origin were the fundamental determinants for population substructuring (G1 to G6).

The two-rowed and six-rowed inflorescence types refer to the number of fertile florets per rachis node in the barley spike.

Ramsay et al. (2011) used a genetically broader germplasm collection consisting of 192 American / European elite cultivars genotyped with 4608 SNP markers to identify the candidate gene for INT-C, one of the genes controlling barley spike morphology.

The VRS1 gene has previously been identified [ 25] and profoundly affects barley spike morphology, but its effect on other plant traits such as height in GPMx is not known.

However, no allelism test among barley spike-branching mutants was performed.

Resequencing a set of available barley spike-branching mutants revealed that four of them shared the same mutation (S221R) as found in the BW-NIL(com2.g) mutant, i.e., brc1.5, com.k, Freak, HOR14427 (a double mutant of com2/hooded spike; see Table S1), while one showed a different amino acid substitution (L228H; irregular spike 25).

For each of these, three fields were sampled, and five individual dried barley spikes were collected from each field.

In contrast, a major role of trichothecenes for the initial establishment in the host tissue was suggested [ 19], because induction of TRI5 expression was detected during early infection stages on barley spikes infected with F. graminearum [ 67] as well as on seedlings of wheat infected with F. culmorum [ 19].

Six-row barley has its spike notched on opposite sides, with three spikelets at each notch, each containing a small individual flower, or floret, that develops a kernel.
