Effect of N-fertilization, fungicide treatment, seed density and abiotic stress factors on the total ß-glucan content of six-rowed winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2013
In Germany, the first six-rowed waxy winter barley cultivar (cv.) `Waxyma` was registered in 2008. Besides changes in starch composition, waxy barley is rich in ß-glucans offering new applications in the food industry as ß-glucans reduce the blood ...
