Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum is a major disease problem on wheat and barley in Korea and around the world. We screened for Type II resistance in the greenhouse using single floret inoculation and for Type I resistance in the field using spray inoculation. Sumai 3 was used the FHB resistant check. Three hundred and seventy lines were evaluated for resistance to spread of symptoms within spike (type II). The 2012 field screening with 300 wheat lines was located in Kimjae-si Joeonbuk Korea. All plots were inoculated twice. The first inoculation was applied at anthesis for wheat. The second inoculation was applied three days after the initial inoculation (dai) for each plot. The inoculum was F. graminearum (GZ3639) prepared at a concentration of 100,000 macroconidai/ml with Tween 20 added as a wetting agent. Mist-irrigation was applied from the first inoculation on May 7 till June 7 to facilitate FHB development. FHB severity was assessed visually 21 days after inoculation on 20 arbitrarily selected spikes per plot. FHB severity was determined as the percentage of symptomatic spikelets from the total of all spikelets observed in these 20 spikes. Based on the field test, we could observe four categories of FHB severity: resistant (R: 0-20%), moderately resistant (MR: 21-40%), moderately susceptible (MS: 41-60%), and susceptible (S: 61-100%). The results showed that forty four lines showed the resistant category on FHB severity between 2.7% and 19.8%. In addition, ten lines showed similar FHB severity compared to Sumai 3 (9.9%).

Barley, ranking fifth among all crops in the world today behind maize, wheat, rice and soybean, has been an important food source in many areas in the world. Moreover having high nutritional value. Current consumers have interest in nutrition and health. So, the interest in barley for other food and industrial applications is increasing. Noodles, which have been consumed largely in korea, are usually made from wheat flour, salt and appropriate amount of water. The objective of this study is to substitute wheat flour with barleys in order to produce new products of white salted noodles and to investigate the effects of substituting flours on quality characteristics of noodles. We investigated the Hunter colour values(lightness, redness, yellowness) of barley noodles. Lightness and yellowness were decreased and redness were increased in barley cooked noodles compare to wheat noodle. As compared to the wheat noodle, barley noodle at 10, 20, 30% substitution ratios had lower hardness, which decreased continuously with substitution levels. Springiness and cohesiveness were also lower than wheat noodles.

Whole grain wheat bread and bakery products is highly considered as a functional food due to the high amount of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber in whole wheat flour. However, as the lower end-use properties of whole wheat products limit consumer selection, it is required to measure the functionality of whole wheat flour. Thus, it is observed the fermentation properties of bread dough from the composite flour of whole grain and white wheat flour. Whole grain cv. Chokyeong developed in the NICS was ground using a hammer mill with 0.5 mm sieve. The composite flour was prepared by substituting wheat flour with whole grain flour at 15, 30, 45% levels. Breads were prepared using the 100 g composite flour according to a basic straight-dough mehtod (AACC 10-10A) with slight modification. A rheofermentometer was used to measure the maximum dough height (Hm) and the maximum gas formation (H’m) during fermentation. Also, total CO2 production was recorded. The Hm decreased from 38.8 to 27.5 (mm) with increasing whole wheat flour from 15 to 45%. Whereas, the H’m was increased from 61.7 to 60.8 (mm) with whole wheat flour increment. Total CO2 production was also decreased with increasing whole wheat flour ranging 1312∼1164 (ml). The fermentation results could be useful to partly predict the effect of substituting whole wheat flour on the end-use quality of pan-breads.

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the varietal variation of Se concentration and to determine the effects of selenium foliar applications on the productivity and agronomic characteristics of the whole-crop barleys. Se fertilizer was foliar applied at five levels(0, 50, 100, 200, 400 ppm) and two forms (sodium selenite and sodium selenate solution) at stem elongation stage, the middle of April. Cultivar effects on whole-plant Se contents were small and not significant. Regardless treatments, there were no remarkable effects on dry matter yield and forage quality of whole crop barleys. Se contents of plant was higher in selenate application by 3~10 times than selenite. In selenate treatments, as Se levels were raised from 50 ppm to 400ppm the Se contents were increased from 331ppb to 3433ppb and Se contents were positively correlated with the rate of Se application levels. Selenium(Se) is an essential nutritional trace element, which is needed for growth and reproduction in all living animals. But the line between the requirement and harmfulness of Se is narrow since selenium is a highly toxic element. The level of Se in feeds of plant varies depending on plant species, growing season and soil which the plants grow on. Because of low concentration of Se in domestic soils, the selenium availability to plants is limited and it is necessary to supplement feed with selenium. Generally organic Se is less toxic and more efficiently utilized than inorganic Se. Under the condition that antibiotics use in feed are prohibited, selenium enriched whole-crop barley can be one way to improve animal health.
