## Abstract

A barley variety designated AS-007, the plants, seeds and plant parts of barley variety AS-007, methods for producing a barley plant produced by crossing the variety AS-007 with itself or another barley plant, and hybrid barley seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety AS-007 with another barley line or plant, and the creation of variants of variety AS-007 by backcrossing, mutagenesis, haploid systems, cell and tissue culture or transformation utilizing transgenes are disclosed. Methods for producing other barley varieties or breeding lines derived from barley variety AS-007 and to barley varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods are also provided. Barley variety AS-007 demonstrates a unique combination of traits for the human food market including waxy starch, hulless seed and increased levels of beta-glucan fiber.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A plant, plant part, seed, or plant cell of barley variety AS-007, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-127268.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A barley seed produced from (i) selfing the plant or plant part of claim 1 or (ii) crossing of the plant or plant part of claim 1 with a different barley plant or plant part.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A barley plant or plant part produced by growing the barley seed of claim 2.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The barley seed of claim 2, wherein the seed is an F1 hybrid barley seed.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

A method for producing a progeny seed, the method comprising crossing the barley plant of claim 3, to a plant of barley variety AS-007, representative seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-127268 and producing a progeny seed.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the method further comprises crossing a plant grown from the progeny seed to a plant of barley variety AS-007 and producing a backcrossed seed.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The backcrossed seed produced by the method of claim 6.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

A method for producing a second barley plant, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the barley plant or plant part of claim 3, wherein application of said techniques results in the production of a second barley plant.

### Claim 9 (depends on 3)

A method for producing a second barley plant, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from a cross of the barley plant or plant part of claim 3 with a different barley plant.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A method for producing nucleic acids, the method comprising isolating nucleic acids from the plant, plant part, seed, or plant cell of claim 1.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A method of producing a commodity plant product from barley variety AS-007 comprising obtaining the plant, plant part, seed, or plant cell of claim 1 and producing the product therefrom.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the commodity plant product is grain, flour, bran, baked goods, cereals, pasta, beverages, malts, extractions or medicines.

### Claim 13

A barley plant produced by introducing a locus conversion into barley variety AS-007, wherein the locus conversion was introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation into barley variety AS-007 and wherein a sample of barley variety AS-007 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-127268.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The barley plant of claim 13, wherein the locus conversion comprises a transgene.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The plant, plant part, seed, or plant cell of claim 13, wherein the locus conversion confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphate content, altered protein, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, tolerance/resistance to an herbicide, insect or disease, wherein the altered trait is compared with a plant of barley variety AS-007 not comprising the locus conversion.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

A tissue culture produced from the plant, plant part, seed, or plant cell of claim 13.

### Claim 17 (depends on 13)

A barley seed produced by crossing the plant of claim 13 with a different barley plant.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

A barley plant produced by growing the barley seed of claim 16.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

A method for producing a second barley plant comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the barley plant of claim 17, wherein application of said techniques results in the production of a second barley plant.
