-
- Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally.
- It was one of the first cultivated grains, domesticated around 9000 BC in the Fertile Crescent.
- The domestication process gave it nonshattering spikelets, making it easier to harvest.
- Barley’s use then spread throughout Eurasia by 2000 BC.
- Botanical Details:
- Barley is a cereal and a member of the grass family (Poaceae).
- Its flowers form clusters of spikelets arranged in a distinctive herringbone pattern.
- Each spikelet has a long, thin awn (up to 160 mm or 6.3 inches), giving the ears a tufted appearance.
- In six-row barley, all three spikelets in each cluster are fertile; in two-row barley, only the central one is fertile.
- It’s a self-pollinating, diploid species with 14 chromosomes.
