Malting is the process of preparing barley for brewing through partial germination followed
by drying. This process softens the grain cell wall and stimulates the production of diastatic …

Most of the experimental and modeling studies that evaluate the impacts of climate change
and variability on barley have been focused on grain yield. However, little is known on the …

Multi-location data collected over 30 years in Finland on major cereal crops (spring barley,
oat and wheat, and winter wheat and rye) provide an opportunity to characterise variation …

Domestication is an evolutionary process of species divergence in which morphological and
physiological changes result from the cultivation/tending of plant or animal species by a …

Recent studies have suggested that domestication was a slower evolutionary process than
was previously thought. We address this issue by quantifying rates of phenotypic change in …

Barley is used for a wide range of traditional and novel end-uses (Edney 1996; Sparrow et
al., 1988). In most countries, the major portion of barley is fed to animals, particularly cattle …

Malted barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a crucial component of beer, and it has been
established that barley genotype has an effect on malting quality and beer flavor. This study …

Fermented beverages have been consumed by humans for thousands of years. As humans
started to farm rather than hunt, and using grasses that were growing locally, such as the …

Background Starch contributes to barley grain and malt quality which in turn contributes to
beer quality and flavour; through fermentable sugar profiles, rates of fermentation and …

This study was carried out in 2002 to 2003 and 2003 to 2004 seasons at the experimental
area of Elazıg Agriculture Provincial Directorate in Turkey to investigate the genetic and …
