✦ Synopsis

From the world collection, 875 barley varieties of Turkish origin have been screened for resistance to local races of net blotch caused by Drechslera teres (SACC .) SHOEM . Six of these exhibited a high degree of resistance, which varied in expressivity when tested under a wider range of environmental conditions . In this respect these varieties rank between the consistency of resistance expressed by varieties from Ehtiopia, and the inconsistency with which resistance is expressed by varieties from Manchuria . The implications are discussed .

' Only a limited number were examined .
