Study on Inheritance of Yield and Quality Traits in Barley

This work of Dr.Rudrasen Singh Raikwar is an innovative research in the field of genetic inheritance of peculiar characteristics which contribute towards the yield and quality parameters in barley.This phenomenal work will help the other researchers as reference in their future researches in barley.The author has done pioneering research in barley at both post graduation and doctoral level and has published research papers in reputed journals referred by international fraternity.Barley(Hordeum vulgare L.)a member of Poaecae family flourish well under limited resources of fertilizer and irrigation and gives better yield in problematic soils. It is commercially utilized in industry for preparation of malt, beer,whiskey,vinegar and medicinal tonics like horlex, maltova, and barley syrup etc. To boost up the production there is urgent need of breeding high yielding disease resistant varieties of barley suited to different situation so that this crop can fulfill its potential in combating the malnutrition prevalent in primarily vegetarian population of the world.
