Registration of Seven Spring Two-Rowed Barley Germplasm Lines Resistant to Russian Wheat Aphid

230 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol 2, No. 3, September 2008 Devastating yield losses occurred in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in the western United States within 2 yr after the fi rst appearance of the Russian wheat aphid [RWA; Diuraphis noxia, (Mordvilko)] in 1986 (Porter et al., 1999). Screening of the entire USDA-ARS National Small Grains Collection of H....

Development and Genetic Characterization of an Advanced Backcross-Nested Association Mapping (AB-NAM) Population of Wild × Cultivated Barley.

The ability to access alleles from unadapted germplasm collections is a long-standing problem for geneticists and breeders. Here we developed, characterized, and demonstrated the utility of a wild barley advanced backcross-nested association mapping (AB-NAM) population. We developed this population by backcrossing 25 wild barley accessions to the six-rowed malting barley cultivar Rasmusson. The...

Evaluation of deformable image registration in HDR gynecological brachytherapy

Introduction: In brachytherapy, as in external radiotherapy, image-guidance plays an important role. For GYN treatments it is standard to acquire at least CT images and preferably MR images prior to each treatment and to calculate the dose of the day on each set of images. Then, the dose to the target and to the organs at risk (OAR) is calculated with worst case scenario from I...
