Variety traits

Waxy bloom of barley

Hordeum vulgare L.

The waxy bloom in barley is a morphologically significant trait for breeding, the intensity of which varies from absent to very strong and correlates with the plant's adaptation to arid conditions.

In the reference 52 varieties crop Barley, where this is mentioned in the description.

The bloom covers the stems, leaf sheaths, leaves, and spikes of barley. Its expression is evaluated during variety testing using a visual method based on a grading scale: absent, weak, medium, strong, and very strong. The trait is described separately for different vegetative organs, for example, for leaf sheaths and the spike.

The biological function of the bloom is to increase the crop's drought tolerance by reducing transpiration and reflecting excess solar radiation, which protects tissues from overheating. Increased bloom intensity is considered an important indicator for varieties adapted to regions with arid climates.
