Preharvest sprouting (PHS) can severely damage barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) malting quality, but PHS resistance is often negatively correlated with malting quality. Seed dormancy is closely related to PHS. Increased temperature during grain fill can decrease seed dormancy in barley, but genetic components of seed dormancy temperature sensitivity are poorly understood. Six years of PHS data were used to fit quantitative trait locus (QTL) x environment mixed models incorporating marker data from seed dormancy genes HvAlaAT1
