Materials and methods Definitions Results Conclusions Acknowledgements
Materials and methods 195 barley genotypes
72 NordGen genotypes + 123 cultivars (from 1930’s till 2010) 2 nitrogen rates: 35 and 70 kg N/ha
3 replicates 9 unfertilized genotypes
Observations heading, maturity, canopy height, lodging
Plant samples (50 plants per plot) at heading → biomass and N content at maturity → biomass, grain yield, N content, HI, NHI
Harvesting grain yield (kg/ha) NUE, NUTE, NUPE
SNP genotyping 1536 SNP-markers (UCLA) Associate mapping: N use indices, disease resistance

Conclusions
Breeding has greatly improved agronomic traits and yielding
capacity Modern cultivars outperformed the land races in N use efficiency However, some of the landraces had high N utilization or uptake
efficiency → potential crossing material for breeding programmes Some DNA-markers (SNP) associated with N use efficiency indices.
These markers may fasten the backcrossing process in plant breeding
