A population of 150 doubled haploid lines developed from the Steptoe x Morex cross by the Hordeum bulbosum method. The parents, Steptoe and Morex, were selected for their diversity of agronomic traits, Steptoe is high yielding, broadly adapted six-rowed feed-type barley. Morex is midwestern also six-rowed cultivar that has been for long time considered as the American malting industry standard.
