Of mice and men?
Healthy pasta could be on the way thanks to adding wholegrain barley flour when preparing pasta. The barley is high in beta-glucan (soluble fibre) and has been shown to reduce heart damage in mice. Mmm mm. ...

Italian scientists claim new type of pasta can help ward off heart attacks

telegraph.co.uk

It could only have happened in Italy, the land of linguine, vermicelli and tagliatelle - scientists in Tuscany have developed a new type of pasta that can help ward off heart attacks.

The more the merrier
Now the barley iSelect SNP set has been extended to an array of 50,000. This provides much more detailed DNA fingerprinting of barley lines at a substantially lower cost than the previous 9,000 SNP array. Moreover, the SNPs have been selected from a much larger pool of lines that represent most of the elite germplasm groupings thus providing the potential of higher resolution mapping and speeding up the detection of candidate genes. Now to solve the phenotyping bottleneck...... ...

Development and Evaluation of a Barley 50k iSelect SNP Array

frontiersin.org

High-throughput genotyping arrays continue to be an attractive, cost-effective alternative to sequencing based approaches. We have developed a new 50k Illumina Infinium iSelect genotyping array for barley, a cereal crop species of major international importance. The majority of SNPs on the array hav...

Better 6 rows on the way?
Another locus for 6 row barley identified. Adding this locus to 6 row Vrs1 and Int-c alleles improves that grain size distribution of 6 rows and could therefore produce a big improvement in 6 row grain quality. ...

Barley SIX-ROWED SPIKE3 encodes a putative Jumonji C-type H3K9me2/me3 demethylase that represses lateral spikelet fertility

nature.com

The barley inflorescence (spike) comprises a multi-noded central stalk (rachis) with tri-partite clusters of uni-floretted spikelets attached alternately along its length. Relative fertility of lateral spikelets within each cluster leads to spikes with two or six rows of grain, or an intermediate mo...

You don't always get what you plan for, do you?
UK Govt tax take from Scotch Whisky falls by 7% after 3.9% increase in duty. Thank goodness that the duty had been frozen prior to the jump to 80% of the cost of a bottle in the UK or else sales might have fallen even more. ...

Whisky sales dip blamed on 'spirit tax'
