gene in test plants and simulating drought conditions, weve been able to prove that plants in which HvMYB1 is more prominently expressed are able to survive prolonged periods of drought.
Genetic variation is essential in plant breeding for resilience so we expect this research will now be used by plant breeders as a marker for drought resistance. It will help focus attention on different barley varieties in which this gene is naturally expressed more prominently.
This may lead to greater varia
