What have you got against downloading the whole genome? I didn't see
it at ensembl but, as you probably know, ag plant genomics is
a big deal economically. The USDA and ARS probably have more stuff like
this ( first thing I found on google).

Offhand, it looks like you have mutually exclusive [prop] criteria as prop 
and properties
are synonyms ( but usually the query dump tells you howmany hits on each 
term ):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?rid=helpentrez.table.EntrezHelp.T7



Usually eutils provides parse info that you can sort out when query results 
don't
make sense but I've only used this from pubmed and the response from
nucleotide was unhelpful- you can probably get a dump from the web page
but I've never used it.

$ eutilsnew -v  -out asdf -dump "barley AND smith[AU] "

The NCBI web interface is usually quite good but I ran into a similar 
problem
with blast databases. I finally found their list for blasting,

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/staff/tao/URLAPI/remote_accessible_blastdblist.html

and added to my script,

$ blastnew -help db | grep -i barley
   genomes  barley          barley

Before I found this, I complained that their example db names weren't right
and I even had to reverse engineer a piece of their html. Try googling 
confined
to their site, site:nih.gov
