Studies were conducted on artificially infected susceptible and
resistant barley varieties in an attempt to determine the effect of
barley yellow dwarf virus on the growth and development of these
plants. A resistant and a susceptible variety were infected at four
stages of growth and harvested at two stages. Roots,...

This study was designed to provide information regarding: 1) evaluation of methods of measuring resistance among selected cultivars; 2) identification...
