Dr. Patrick Hayes is a Professor at Oregon State University. His research team focuses on barley - in its many forms and uses. Current research areas include: development of winter and facultative habit malting barley varieties; the many facets of winter hardiness; dissection of quantitative disease resistance; characterization and utilization of genetic diversity; stimulating local barley production; development of multi-use naked barley for organic and conventional systems; exploring the contributions of barley genotype to beer flavor; and barley quality assessment. The OSU Barley Project has released 18 varieties/germplasms, developed 21 mapping populations/panels, distributed approximately 22 metric tons of barley seed, published 168 papers in refereed journals, and authored 13 book chapters. He has taught Plant Genetics to approximately 1,400 students: most graduate with a keen appreciation for the complexity and power of genetics. He has served as Major Professor/co-Major Professor for 36 graduate students, mentored 11 post-docs, and hosted 24 visiting scientists from 15 countries.
Barley of the Future: Facultative, Naked, and Flavorful
There are three relatively discrete units within the seminar:
• Facultative growth habit
• Naked caryopsis
• Flavor, with an emphasis on beer
