... Chutimanitsakun et al. (2013) developed concurrent marker-assisted selection and phenotypic selection programs breeding for vernalization sensitive barley lines with waxy starch and naked winter and facultative barley lines with normal starch, respectively. These panels were tested across multiple years and locations and advanced selections were included in a multienvironment breeding trial, as described in Meints et al. (2015a), and ultimately resulted in the release of two winter naked barley lines with normal starch, #STrkr (a germplasm) and 'Buck' (a variety) (Meints et al. 2015b(Meints et al. , 2018. Other programs have used pedigree breeding to release naked food varieties with high β-glucan content, including Transit (Obert et al. 2011) and Julie . ...
