Abstract

Effect of genotype and growing location on barley grain
beta glucan content was studied in 25 barley genotypes
grown over six different locations in India. Based upon the
two years results, the genotypes BCU 554, BH 963, BHS 352
and DWR 30 were having higher content of beta glucan
while the genotypes Azad, BCU2030, Bilara-2, Jagriti, K 14,
K 141, Lakhan, Manjula, SLOOP SA WI 3167 and SLOOP
VIC VB 9953 had lower values. The growing location has
also been found to affect the beta glucan content
significantly. Positive simple correlation has been found
between grain beta glucan content and protein, 1000 grain
weight, plump kernels and test weight.
