Description:
The Woodies, named in honor of the late Dr. Lynn “Woody” Gallagher, a pioneering developer of disease resistant barley germplasm at the University of California (Davis), are two doubled haploids (DH160733 and DH160754) known as ‘Woody-1’ and ‘Woody-2’ (Reg. nos. .., PIs …). Both genotypes are rough-awned, hulled, two-row, and spring-habit barleys with long rachilla hairs. Both accessions were released by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in 2023. The Woodies were derived via anther culture from the F1 of the cross ‘DH140512’/’UC1322’. DH140512 is a 2-row experimental selection from the Oregon State University barley program with the pedigree ‘SH98076’/’Full Pint’. UC1322 is a 2-row experimental selection from the University of California (Davis) barley program with the pedigree ‘Z05500120’/’CIMMYT7862’.
