- Intervention effect Laurier barley grain nitrogen content increased by up to 20% in one year.
- Association Grain protein and yield had an inverse relation across three years.

- Intervention effect The ethephon treatment did not affect the preanthesis gradient in grain size and protein among barley spikelets.
- Intervention effect Chlormequat increased barley grain protein by 7 to 11% in a greenhouse experiment.
- Intervention effect Ethephon increased barley grain protein concentration by up to 13% in one of two greenhouse experiments.
- Mechanism The authors attribute some grain protein concentration increase to reduced starch deposition associated with reduced yield.
- Mechanism Increased protein accumulation in barley grain partly caused the protein concentration increase after plant growth regulator application.
