Barley Net Blotch Initiative ( BNBI) Program 2 - Host and pathogen genetics - Net form net blotch ( NFNB), caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres ( Ptt), and spot form net blotch ( SFNB), caused by Pyrenophora teres f. maculata ( Ptm), are the most economically damaging foliar diseases of barley in Australia, accounting for an estimated 80% of total yield losses from barley foliar pathogens. The estimated average annual cost to growers can be greater than $ 46/ha for SFNB and $ 42/ha for NFNB. Barley grower
Barley Net Blotch Initiative ( BNBI) Program 2 - Host and Pathogen Genetics research services Output 2. 1: accelerate delivery of breeder deployable tools and germplasm for durable, high level NFNB and SFNB resistance in barley varieties; Output 2. 2: deliver foundational and expanded host and pathogen genomics research, and a new durability risk assessment framework; Output 2. 3: establish genome engineering capability to accelerate future net blotch resistance breeding in barley
