CDC Teal hard red spring wheat

hard red spring wheat Hughes, G. R. and Hucl, P. 1993. hard red spring wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci.73z 193-197. Teal is an early-maturing hard red spring wheat best adapted to the Black of western Canada. It combines early maturity with good yield potential, increased kernel size and leaf and stem rust resistance. It was developed at the University of Saskatchewan from a three-way cross involving BW5l4 (Nainari 60/Huelquen), Benito and BW38 (UM953A/; UM953A : Sonora 64lTezanos Pintos Precos).

Mots cl6s: Triticum aestivum, description de cultivar, bl6 panifiable hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed jointly by the Department of Crop Science and Plant Ecology and the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan. Registration no. 3436 was issued for on 10 May 1991 by the Variety Registration Office, Food Production and Inspection Branch, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa. Pedigree and Breeding Method was selected from the cross BW514/Benito//BW38. BW38 rum953a/ ; UM953A : Sonora 64lTezanos Pintos Precos) and BW514 (Nainari 60/ Huelquen) are experimental lines from the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Winnipeg and the University of Saskatchewan, respectively. The three-way cross was made in1977 and the resulting population advanced to the F5 generation by a modified singleplant bulk method of selection. The F2 and F5 generations were grown in winter increase nurseries at Lincoln, New Zealand. Selection for plant height, maturity, straw strength and rust resistance occurred on a Can. J. Plant Sci. 73: 193-197 (Jan. 1993) single-plant basis in the F3 and Fa generations and on single-head progeny rows in the F6 and F7 generations. The selected F7 progeny rows were harvested in bulk. These F7-derived lines were evaluated for yield and quality in tests at Saskatoon and at one to three other Saskatchewan locations per year during 1983 to 1985. One F7-derived F11 line (W84315) was entered in the Western Bread Wheat 'B' Test in 1986. This line was tested as BW616 in the Western Bread Wheat Cooperative Test from 1987 to, and in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative Test from to 1990. Breeder seed of consists of the bulk of 83 breeder lines which are individually maintained. Each line was derived from a F11 head selection made in 1986. Performance and Adaptation was significantly higher yielding than (Table 1). It outyielded by 9% in the Dark Brown and by 7% inthe Black. It was similar in yield to (Tables I and 2), but significantly lower yielding than Laura in the Brown and Dark Brown s (Table 2). r93
