2 CP Objective 3. Validate and fine map FHB resistance QTL GM Apr 2016 Fine Map the ch. 6H bin7 QTL Development of robust molecular markers specific to ch. 6H bin 7 QTL GM Apr 2016 Identify recombinants between FHB resistance and grain protein content Lines with resistance QTL and lower grain protein CP Objective 4. Develop new barley varieties with enhanced resistance to FHB and lower DON RH, KS Mar 2014 Advance more lines into AMBA Plant Scale Testing More recommended varieties with enhanced scab resistance RH, KS May - Jul 2014 Evaluate eight new lines with DON levels at 70% or less of Robust to AMBA pilot testing. Performance data on eight lines. RH, KS Mar 2015 Advance more lines into AMBA Plant Scale Testing More recommended varieties with enhanced scab resistance RH, KS May - Jul 2015 Evaluate eight new lines with DON levels at 70% or less of Robust to AMBA pilot testing. Performance data on eight lines. KS Mar 2015 Entry of lines from facultative six-row program Recommended winter varieties with enhanced scab resistance KS, AL May-July 2014 Yield trials for Cycle 3 GS lines in MN Performance of cycle 3 lines KS, AL Oct 2014 GS predictions and Cycle 5 parent selection Genomic predictions for FHB and other traits for 1,536 lines

3 KS, AL May-July 2015 Yield trials for Cycle 4 GS lines in MN Performance of cycle 4 lines KS, AL Oct 2015 GS predictions and Cycle 6 parent selection Genomic predictions for FHB and other traits for 1,536 lines KS, AL Dec 2015 Evaluate data and realized gains to improve methods of prediction accuracy New methods to design training panels to improve prediction accuracy May 2014, Cross FHB/DON resistant lines with elite hulled, hulles and malt barley germplasm. 100 new crosses made annually; F 1 lines used for top crossing and advanced in field during subsequent seasons. May 2014, Genetic markers identified and validated in winter barley for FHB resistance QTL, other important diseases, yield and quality. Markers amenable to VT winter barley program identified May 2014, Parental lines genotyped and populations enriched for known FHB resistance QTL and other desirable traits. Pure lines derived from FHB breeding populations selected and advanced. Selected pure lines grown and evaluated in replicated yield and FHB trials. Pure lines derived from FHB breeding populations selected and advanced. Aug 2014, Aug 2015 Evaluate elite germplasm from VT state variety trial for FHB/DON resistance. FHB and DON data for all cultivars and elite lines provided to growers via extension publications and website. RB et al. Oct 2014 Evaluate best FHB material from Midwest and Canadian breeding programs in NABSEN NABSEN Report- Best FHB/DON lines identified for 2014 Fall crossing block
