Summary
Seed and embryo development was studied in crosses between H. bulbosum and the barley genotypes VK 16032, ‘Vada’ and ‘Vogelsanger Gold’ and subsequently the F1 and F2 progenies from VK 16032 x ‘Vada’ and VK 16032 x ‘Vogelsanger Gold’. Both seed and embryo development are strongly influenced by the barley genotype. Favourable environmental conditions can promote seed and embryo development in genotypes with existing good characters. Dominant inheritance for good seed development and incomplete dominance for large embryos is evident. Linkage between small embryo size and winter habit exists in ‘Vogelsanger Gold’.
