Plant Sci. 93: 315–321. Vesper is a high-yielding, hard red spring wheat that is adapted to the wheat-growing regions of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative Registration Trials of 2007, 2008 and 2009, Vesper out-yielded five check cultivars by an average of 12%, and Unity, which was the highest yielding check, by 4.6%. Lodging, height and maturity scores of Vesper were all intermediate (similar to the check mean). Pre-harvest sprouting resistance of Vesper was equivalent to the poorer checks (Katepwa and CDC Teal). Kernels of Vesper were heavier than all five checks and test weight was high (exceeded only by Unity). Vesper was resistant to leaf rust and was moderately resistant to stem rust and Fusarium head blight. Vesper was intermediately resistant to loose smut and was susceptible to common bunt. Spikes of Vesper showed two forms of resistance to wheat midge: antibiotic resistance (no larvae observed in the field) and antixenotic resistance (reduced egg numbers laid by caged ovipositing females). Over 3 yr of testing, end use quality of Vesper was rated as eligible for the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) market class of wheat. Kernels of Vesper were relatively hard with consequent high water absorption.

Agronomic practices, such as planting date, seeding rate, and genotype, commonly influence hard red spring wheat (HRSW, Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell.) production. Determining the agronomic optimum seeding rate (AOSR) of newly developed hybrids is needed as they respond to seeding rates differently from inbred cultivars. The objectives of this research were to determine the AOSR of new HRSW hybrids, how seeding rate alters their various yield components, and whether hybrids offer increased end-use quality, compared to conventional cultivars. The performance of two cultivars (inbreds) and five hybrids was evaluated in nine North Dakota environments at five seeding rates in 2019−2020. Responses to seeding rate for yield and protein yield differed among the genotypes. The AOSR ranged from 3.60 to 5.19 million seeds ha−1 and 2.22 to 3.89 million seeds ha−1 for yield and protein yield, respectively. The average AOSR for yield for the hybrids was similar to that of conventional cultivars. However, the maximum protein yield of the hybrids was achieved at 0.50 million seeds ha−1 less than that of the cultivars tested. The yield component that explained the greatest proportion of differences in yield as seeding rates varied was kernels spike−1 (r = 0.17 to 0.43). The end-use quality of the hybrids tested was not superior to that of the conventional cultivars, indicating that yield will likely be the determinant of the economic feasibility of any future released hybrids.

AbstractWheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding involves improvement of a wide range of traits. However, selection for these traits is only acceptable if the end use quality of the wheat is not compromised. In hard red spring wheat, the predominant end use of flour is bread. In this study, milling and baking quality characteristics were compared in the hard red spring wheat ‘Apogee’ and a near-isogenic line of Apogee (‘A30’) that contains a spontaneous segmental deletion of the long arm of chromosome arm 3DL that is associated with enhanced resistance to Fusarium head blight caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum (Schwabe). Apogee and A30 were grown together in replicated greenhouse experiments, and the resultant grain was used to compare a diverse spectrum of grain characteristics and milling and baking properties of the grain in the two wheat genotypes. The major difference detected was a significant increase in protein content in A30, which had nearly 21% more flour protein than Apogee. This difference did not affect any of the flour properties or baking characteristics evaluated, suggesting that the increased protein concentrations in A30 are not associated with the principal seed storage properties associated with baking quality. These results indicate that despite the size of the deletion in A30, no key genes associated with end use quality are located on that chromosome segment. The deletion may therefore find use in efforts to enhance Fusarium head blight in hard red spring wheat.

J. Plant Sci. 94: 1297–1302. Peace is a hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) adapted to the shorter-season wheat-growing regions of the Canadian prairies. Peace was evaluated in the Parkland Wheat Cooperative Test in 1999, 2000 and 2001. Peace exhibited grain yield similar to the check cultivars over 2 yr (1999–2000; Neepawa and Roblin) and over 3 yr (1999–2001; AC Barrie and AC Splendor) Peace matured a day earlier than AC Barrie but was 2 d later than AC Splendor over 3 yr of testing (1999–2001) and was a day later than Neepawa and Roblin over 2 yr of testing (1999–2000). Peace had test weight similar to the check cultivars. Peace was moderately resistant to leaf rust and loose smut and resistant to stem rust including the highly virulent Ug99 race of stem rust and common bunt. Peace was moderately susceptible to Fusarium head blight. Peace meets the end-use quality specifications of the Canada Western Red Spring wheat class.

The amino acid asparagine is considered the rate limiting precursor in the formation of acrylamide in cereal-based baked foods. However, there are no data on the quantity of this precursor in Canadian wheat. Wholemeal and white flour samples obtained from 30 Canadian hard red spring wheat grown in the Prairie provinces were analysed for asparagine content by liquid chromatography. The asparagine content varied from 302 to 965 and 116 to 336 μg g−1 for wholemeal and white flour, respectively. Therefore, wheat grown in Canada has similar asparagine levels to wheat grown in other parts of the world. Analysis of variance suggested that asparagine content is significantly affected by genotype (p < 0.001), suggesting that breeding strategies could be investigated to produce cultivars with lower levels of this amino acid. Few significant correlations were observed between wheat and flour quality parameters and asparagine content, although there was a tendency towards weaker dough strength indices with increasing asparagine content.

The composition and quantity of high- and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS and LMW-GS) plays an important role in determining the end-use quality of wheat products. In the present study, 718 wheat cultivars and advanced lines from 20 countries were characterised for the HMW-GS and LMW-GS with allele-specific molecular markers. For the Glu-A1 locus, 311 cultivars (43.3%) had the subunit Ax2*, which predominated in cultivars from Canada (83.3%), Romania (91.7%), Russia (72.2%) and USA (72.2%). At Glu-B1 locus, 197 cultivars (27.4%) contained the By8 subunit and its frequency was higher in Japanese (60.0%) and Romanian (62.5%) genotypes than in those from other countries; 264 cultivars (36.8%) carried the By9 subunit, mostly existing in the cultivars from Austria (100.0%), Russia (72.2%), and Serbia (72.7%); the By16 subunit was present in 44 cultivars (6.1%), with a relatively high percentage in Chile (19.5%), whereas almost no cultivars from other countries had this subunit; the frequency of Bx7OE was 3.1%, and was found only in cultivars from Argentina (12.1%), Australia (4.1%), Canada (25.0%), Iran (20.0%), and Japan (30.0%). There were 446 genotypes (62.1%) with the subunit Dx5 at the Glu-D1 locus; high frequencies of Dx5 occurred in cultivars from Hungary (90.0%), Romania (95.8%), and Ukraine (92.3%). At the Glu-A3 locus, the frequencies of Glu-A3a, b, c, d, e, f and g were 2.9, 6.8, 53.2, 12.8, 7.7, 13.8, and 2.4%, respectively. Glu-A3a was detected only in the cultivars from Bulgaria (13.3%), China (12.2%), Germany (2.7%), Iran (6.7%), Mexico (14.3%), Turkey (4.7%), and USA (5.1%); the high frequencies of superior alleles Glu-A3b and d were found in cultivars from Australia (39.7%) and France (24.5%); Glu-A3c was widely distributed in cultivars from all the countries; the high frequencies of Glu-A3e, f and g were detected in cultivars from Argentina (33.3%), Canada (29.2%), and Hungary (20.0%). At the Glu-B3 locus, Glu-B3a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h and i were present in frequencies of 0.4, 22.3, 0.3, 2.8, 1.9, 3.9, 27.2, 18.8, and 7.1%, respectively. Glu-B3a was detected only in cultivars from Argentina (3.0%) and Ukraine (15.4%) cultivars; high frequencies of Glu-B3b and d were found in the cultivars from Romania (62.5%) and Mexico (14.3%); Glu-B3c was detected only in Romanian (8.3%) genotypes; frequencies of e, f, h and i were high in cultivars from Austria (40.0%), China (14.3%), USA (43.0%), and Argentina (33.3%); Glu-B3g was mostly detected in the cultivars from Germany (69.3%), Norway (77.3%), and Serbia (63.6%). The frequency of the 1B·1R translocation was 13.4%; it occurred in cultivars from all the countries except Australia, Austria, Norway, and Serbia. The functional markers applied in this study, in agreement with the results of sodium-dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, were accurate and stable, and can be used effectively in wheat quality breeding.
