Drought tolerance in barley

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is known to be more environmentally-tolerant than other cereal crops, in terms of soil pH, mineral nutrient availability, and water availability.[1] Because of this, much research is being done on barley plants in order to determine whether or not there is a genetic basis for this environmental hardiness.[2]
