This haplotype has since been differentiated from that found in other common HRW varieties carrying Lr34, such as 2174.

2013 Cultivar releases without PVP

1. Barley P-845 (tested as NE99845) is a six-rowed winter barley released in 2013 by Steve Baenziger at the University of Nebraska. Due to the small market size and it the expected small seed sales, PVP will not be applied for this cultivar. It will be marketed exclusively through Paramount Seeds of Quinter, KS, hence the P-845 designation. Its performance is superior to currently grown barley cultivars in western KS and OK. Molecular markers were used to help characterize its level of winter-hardiness
