Abstract
Barley plants having reduced lipoxygenase-1 enzyme activity are provided, for example, barley plants expressing mutant LOX-1 protein. The barley plants of the invention are useful in the production of plant products such as malt and brewed beverages, particularly beer, having increased stability and reduced T2N potential.

- 12, wherein Xaa is an acidic, basic, or polar amino acid, the plant or portion characterized by a reduction or absence of LOX-1 activity as compared with a non-mutated control.
