Comparisons were made between the yields and milling and baking properties of the Canadian hard red spring wheat cultivars Manitou, Glenlea, Neepawa, Benito and Columbus and the American cultivars Chris, Waldron, Butte, Coteau and Alex grown at six locations across Manitoba during 1982 and 1983. Glenlea consistently produced the highest grain yields but due to its low protein content performed poorly in the baking trials. Butte and Alex had good grain yields and excellent milling characteristics. Although they had low protein percentages their baking quality was excellent, indicating exceptional protein quality. Chris and Waldron had superior milling and baking characteristics but unacceptably low yields. Coteau appeared to be the best American cultivar tested, combining above-average yields with excellent milling and baking characteristics. Manitou and Neepawa had relatively low yields and only average milling and baking quality. Columbus appeared to be the best Canadian cultivar with acceptable grain yield, superior flour yield with excellent dough production and baking characteristics.Key words: Wheat quality, grain yields, milling quality, baking quality

To maintain the quality of Canada's export wheat it is essential that only high quality varieties should be grown. To supply information on which a choice of varieties may be based, a co-operative study was made of the milling and baking quality of 25 varieties of spring wheat now grown in western Canada. Samples were grown in adjacent plots by the Dominion Experimental Farms and Universities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1928, 1929 and 1930. Only samples which were sound enough to be placed in the statutory grades by official inspectors were used. Part of each sample was milled and baked in each of the three co-operating laboratories. Four baking formulas were used. The varieties were classified on the bases of loaf volume, texture, crumb color, general appearance of loaf, absorption, and yield of straight flour. These classifications were combined to give classifications for baking quality and milling quality and finally for suitability for export and domestic milling. The last classification is given in Table XXVII and is, briefly, as follows:1. Varieties which are entirely satisfactory: Reward, Ceres, Marquis, Pioneer, Red Fife, Renfrew, Red Bobs 222, Supreme.2. Varieties which are fairly satisfactory: Early Red Fife, Ruby, Early Triumph.3 Varieties which are unsatisfactory: (a) White wheats: Quality, Axminster, Hard Federation; (b) Varieties differing from Marquis in milling characteristics: Garnet, Kota; (c) Varieties inferior to Marquis in baking characteristics: Garnet Parker's Selection, Brownhead, Huron, Kitchener, Preston, Marquillo.4. Varieties which are very unsatisfactory: Early Prolific, Dicklow, Vermilion.

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.

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.

AAC Elie hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has grain yield and time to maturity within the range of the checks. AAC Elie has an awned spike, a low lodging score indicative of strong straw, and a short plant stature typical of a semidwarf. These traits were comparable to the check Carberry. AAC Elie expressed resistance to prevalent races of leaf and stem rust, and intermediate resistance to fusarium head blight, yellow rust, common bunt, and loose smut. Compared with the five Canada Western Red Spring checks, AAC Elie has improved flour yield, and lower flower ash. AAC Elie is eligible for grades of Canada Western Red Spring.

AAC Castle, an awned hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), cultivar, combines high grain yield and good agronomic characteristics with excellent resistance to leaf, stem, stripe rust, common bunt and loose smut. It also expressed tolerance to the orange wheat blossom midge. Based on 39 station years of data in the registration trials from 2014 to 2016, the grain yield of AAC Castle was about 17% higher than 5700PR but similar to the other checks. AAC Castle was significantly shorter than AAC Foray and CDC Terrain, but had similar lodging resistance and maturity. AAC Castle had higher test weight, protein concentration, falling number and flour yield than AAC Foray and CDC Terrain. AAC Castle is eligible for grade of the Canada Prairie Spring Red wheat market class.
