Abstract

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) as other cereal species is targeted by different pests causing significant damages when the environmental and cultural conditions are favourable for their development. Although damage from field arthropods is not a major hazard for barley crops, this chapter summarises the main arthropod species considered as a threat of barley growth and seed yield, as well as the physical barriers and chemical compounds developed by Hordeum genotypes to combat insect attack, particularly aphid pests. New insights into the molecular mechanisms of barley–pest interactions and the use of novel molecular approaches are discussed. Finally, the integration of candidate barley genes with defence properties into plant genome to generate resistance against pests opens up future conventional plant-assessment programmes.
