Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A recent climate model predicts that global climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather events in many regions worldwide, resulting in substantial crop yield losses and jeopardizing food security. A key step in resolving this problem is to breed crops that carry diverse resistance genes. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is mainly used in feed, malt production, and food and has genes that allow wide environmental adaptability and stress resistance. This Special Issue of Plants will focus on the exploration of valuable genetic diversity, the identification of functional genes with potential significance, and genome-scale breeding technologies in barley.
