Advance in Barley Sciences: Proceedings of 11th International Barley Genetics Symposium

by Guoping Zhang (Editor), Chengdao Li (Editor), Xu Liu (Editor)

Overview

Advance in barley sciences presents the latest developments in barley sciences. It collects 39 papers submitted to the 11th International Barley Genetics Symposium, and covers all presentation sessions of the conference, i.e., barley development and economy, utilization
of germplasm, genetic resources and genetic sks, end-uses, biotic stress tolerance, abiotic stresses, new and renewed breeding methodology, barley physiology, breeding success stories, barley genomics and all other ‘-omics.’ Th e information will be useful
for barley breeders, brewers, biochemists, molecular geneticists and biotechnologists. Th is book may also serve as reference text for students and scientists engaged in barley research.

Dr. Guoping Zhang is a barley breeder and crop physiologist at the Department of Agronomy, Zhejiang University, China.

Dr. Chengdao Li is a senior molecular geneticist and barley breeder at the Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia, Australia. He is also an adjunct professor at Murdoch University of Australia and Zhejiang University.

Dr. Xu Liu, a member of the China Academy of Engineering, is a plant resources researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

About the Author

Guoping ZHANG has been engaged in plant physiology and breeding for more 25 years, with 250 peer-reviewing papers, including more than 120 papers on the SCI-cited Journal, and 9 books published, including a book published by Springer. He has much experience in international cooperation, once working in University of Tokyo, University of Utsunomiya (Japan), University of Glasgow (UK), University of Tasmania (Australia) and Department of Agriculture, West Australia. In the past 10 years, he finished more than 10 research projects granted by Chinese Natural Science Foundation, GRDC (Australia) and British Council, and supervised 20 graduated-students, including the Winner of National Excellent Doctora1 Dissertation. He is now acting as a member of international organizing committee of the International Barley Genetics Symposium and local Chairman of 11th international Barley Genetics Symposium.
