Relationship between the anthocyanin content values in the leaf sheath base of barley cultivars and in the grain of the hybrids derived from them by O. Yu. Shoeva, T. V. Kukoeva

“…The hybrids from crossing cultivars differing in their anthocyanin content in the leaf sheath base with line P18, the donor of the dominant allele of the Ant2 gene, showed variation of the anthocyanin content in grain from 22 to 71 mg/kg. The observed differences among the hybrids were determined by the genotypes of individual plants and the allelic state of Ant2. …”
