REGISTRATION OF KAWVALE WHEAT (Reg. No. 265)
J. A. Clark
KAWVALE (Kans. No. 2593, C. I. No. 8180) was developed at
Manhattan, Kans., from a selection made in 1918 from Indiana Swamp, a
synonym of the Valley variety. The experiments were cooperative
between the agronomy department of the Kansas Agricultural Experiment
Station and the Office of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant
Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Kawvale is bearded, with white glabrous glumes and soft to semi-
hard red kernels. It is of the soft red winter class and its superior
characters are high yield, a high degree of resistance to leaf rust,
and some resistance to Hessian fly attack. It was developed in the
breeding nursery by John H. Parker who applied for its registration.
The yield results from plat experiments, supplied by S. C. Salmon, are
shown in Table 3. Kawvale was included in a few county cooperative
tests with farmers in 1928 and in many more in 1929.

Registration of Arthur 71 and Abe Wheat (Reg. Nos. 560 and 562).
F. L. Patterson, R. L. Gallun, J. J. Roberts, R. E. Finney, and G. E.
Shaner
'ARTHUR 71' and 'ABE' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.)
were developed cooperatively by the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn. and
the ARS, USDA, and released by the two agencies in 1971 and 1972,
respectively. Along with the authors, major contributions to the
breeding of Arthur 71 and Abe were made by two former staff members of
Purdue and ARS.
Arthur 71 (CI 15282), previously designated Purdue 66278
Composite, is a soft red winter wheat and a backcross derivative of
'Arthur' with added resistance to Hessian fly of the 'Ribeiro' type
(H5 gene) and resistance to leaf rust of the 'Transfer' type (LR9).
The parentage is Arthur *5/3/ Purdue 6028A2-15-9-2/2/ 'Riley'*2/
'Riley 67.' The Hessian fly resistance (H5) was introduced via Purdue
6028A2-15-9-2 and the leaf rust resistance (LR9) Riley 67. During
backcrossing, F1 plants were used which had been identified as
possessing the LR9 gene for seedling resistance to leaf rust. F2
progenies of each parent F1 plant were tested with race D of Hessian
fly to verify that the parents carried to the next backcross all
possessed the H5 gene. The final breeder seed was derived from two F1
plants of the final backcross. Progenies were tested for resistances
to leaf rust and race D of Hessian fly in the F2, F3, and F4
generations of selfing following the final backcross. Seed from 264
F4 plants formed the breeder seed of Arthur 71.
Arthur 71 resembles Arthur in most characters. It is a
moderately early cultivar and midtall (93 cm) like Arthur. Straw is
moderately stiff, but not as good as Arthur. Yield of Arthur 71 has
averaged slightly lower than Arthur. Leaves are light green vs.
Arthur's medium green.
Spikes are middense, oblong, apically awnletted, yellow, and
generally nodding at maturity, all like Arthur. Glumes are also
similar to those of Arthur being midlong and midwide with shoulders
rounded (to square) and with midwide obtuse beaks 0.5 to 1.5-mm long.
Some purple color generally is present on the coleoptile.
Kernels, like Arthur's, are red and ovate with rounded cheeks and
a middeep crease. The brush is medium in size and mid-long. The
embryo is large. The average weight of 1,000 kernels is about 38 g.
Arthur 71 is resistant to all known races of Hessian fly in
greenhouse and field tests although at prolonged temperatures of 21 C
or higher it tends to lose its seedling resistance. It is similar to
Arthur in resistance to stem rust, being highly resistant to races
15B, 29, 38, and 56 in field tests. Arthur 71 appears similar to
Arthur in its excellent resistance to powdery mildew and to loose
smut, and in resistance to soil-borne mosaic. It has been highly
resistant (LR9 gene) to leaf rust in both seedling and adult tests
except to a new culture of race 58 collected in Indian in 1971 which
is virulent on 'Transfer' (LR9).
Arthur 71 is similar to Arthur in good soft wheat milling and
baking quality.
Arthur 71 was released in 1971 and in 1973 occupied about 20
percent of the wheat acreage of Indiana as well as sizeable acreages
in several states in the eastern soft wheat region of United States.
Abe (CI 15375), previously designated Purdue 65245B12-3-7-7, is a
soft winter wheat and an unusual segregant following the third
backcross to Arthur to improve resistances to leaf rust and to Hessian
fly. The parentage of Abe is Arthur *4/3/Purdue 6028A2-15-9-
2/2/Riley*2/Riley 67. The parentage is similar to Arthur 71 except
having one less backcross to Arthur. The Hessian fly resistance (H5
gene) was introduced from Ribeiro via Purdue 6028A2-15-9-2 and the
leaf rust resistance (LR9 gene) from Transfer via Riley 67. During
backcrossing seedling resistance to leaf rust (LR9) was identified in
F1 parent plants. Resistance to Hessian fly (H5) was identified in F1
plant progenies following crossing and only crosses of resistant
parent plants were retained. Following the final backcross pedigree
selection was made in the F1, F2, F3, and F4 generations of selfing.
Original breeder seed was in the F7 generation of selfing.
Abe resembles Arthur and Arthur 71 in general. Abe is a
moderately early, moderately short (91 cm) cultivar with moderately
stiff straw. Abe has generally exceeded Arthur and Arthur 71 in yield
and straw strength. At booting, Abe is blue green in color (vs. green
for Arthur and light green for Arthur 71) and has an upright flag leaf
(vs. horizontal for Arthur and Arthur 71).
Spikes are middense, oblong, apically awnletted, yellow, and
generally nodding at maturity. The awnlets of Abe are distinctly
longer than those of Arthur and Arthur 71. The glumes are midlong and
midwide, with rounded (to square) shoulders. Beaks are midwide and
0.t to 1.5-mm long. Coleoptile color is light purple.
Kernels are red and ovate with rounded cheeks and a mid-deep
crease. The embryo is large. The average weight of 1,000 kernels is
about 39 g.
Abe is resistant to all known races of Hessian fly in greenhouse
and field tests. Like Arthur 71, Abe tends to lose its seedling
resistance to Hessian fly at prolonged temperatures of > 21 C. Abe is
similar to arthur in its high resistance to powdery mildew, loose
smut, and stem rust. It has the LR 9 gene for resistance to leaf rust
in addition to resistance from Arthur. Abe has been highly resistant
in both the seedling and adult stage to leaf rust except for a culture
of race 58 collected in Indiana in 1971, which is virulent on Transfer
(LR9).
Abe has good milling and baking quality. It is a little softer
in kernel texture than Arthur and similar to Arthur in baking
potential.
Abe appears widely adapted in the eastern soft wheat region,
based on regional tests during 1971 to 1974.
Arthur 71 and Abe are protected (Certificate 7200084 and 7300049,
respectively) under the Plant Variety Protection act, Public Law 91-
577, by the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn. Seed may be sold only as a
class of certified seed. Seed classes recognized are breeder,
foundation, registered, and certified. Breeder seed will be
maintained by Purdue University.

Registration of Ace Wheat (Reg. No. 407).
E. G. Heyne
ACE, CI 13384, a soft red winter wheat, was developed by the
Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station from an F5 population
received from the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA. Parents
involved were W38, Illinois1, Hope, Purplestraw, Leap, Thatcher,
Trumbull, Red Wonder, Steinwedel and Triticum timopheevi X Chancellor.
A selection designated at T 1123-3 was made in 1944, and a reselection
from T 1123-3, known as T 1123-3-20, was made in 1954. This line was
entered in the Uniform Southern Soft Wheat Performance Nursery in
1958, and released by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station in
1960.
Ace has a winter habit of growth, is midseason to late, short to
midtall; stem white, midstrong to strong; spike awnleted, fusiform,
middense, inclined; glumes glabrous, white, midlong, midwide;
shoulders midwide, rounded to oblique; beaks wide, obtuse, 9.5 mm.
long; awnlets white, 2 to 15 mm, long; kernels red, midlong, soft,
ovate, germ midsized; crease wide, middeep to deep; cheeks angular to
rounded; brush midsized to small, midlong.
Ace resists those races of leaf rust prevalent at the time it was
released, but is susceptible to stem rust. It is moderately resistant
to loose smut and to powdery mildew. Ace also resists soilborne
mosaic and Hessian fly. It is sufficiently winterhardy when grown
under Arkansas conditions.
The quality characteristics have been evaluated by the Crops
Research Division, ARS, USDA. Ace has a low test weight, moderate
amount of protein, and soft to semihard kernels. The grain is
suitable for use in production of general purpose (family) flour and,
when low in protein, as a pasty flour.
The variety was grown by farmers in 1961. It exceeded the
performance of other locally adapted varieties in northern Arkansas in
1961. (Table 1). It has performed well in other areas of the
Southeast, especially northern Alabama and Louisiana (Table 2). Ace
has given good results for grazing in comparison with Arkwin oats
shown in Table 3.

Registration of Adder Wheat (Reg. No. 707).
G.E. Shaner, H.W. Ohm, J.E. Foster, F.L. Patterson, R.L. Gallun, D.M.
Huber, G.C. Buechley, G. G. Safranski and J.M. Hertel
'ADDER' soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. no.
707) PI 491396 was developed by the Purdue University Agricultural
Experiment Station in cooperation with USDA-ARS and released in 1985.
Adder, whose experimental designation was IN74141A10-5-4-2-, has a
complex parentage consisting of germplasm enhanced for resistance to
disease and Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), over a 25-yr
period. The parentage is 'Abe'/3/'Redcoat'/2/'Knox 62'sib/'Dular'/4/
'Knox'/2/Centenario'/'Rio Negro'/3/'Riley'sib/5/Abe/'Caldwell'sib.
Following the last cross, the new cultivar was developed using a
modified pedigree method. Individual plants were selected in the F1,
F2, F3, and F4 generations. Thirty-seven of 100 single plant progeny
rows in the F8 generation with a 0 to trace reaction to powdery mildew
(incited by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E. Marchal),
resistant to leaf rust (incited by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f.
sp. tritici), and uniform in plant type, were composited for breeder
seed.
Adder was tested for performance in advanced nursery yield
trials, 1980 to 1984; in intra-state field plots, 1981 to 1984; and in
the Uniform Regional Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Performance
Nurseries, 1982 to 1984. Adder was consistently among the top-
yielding cultivars, with Caldwell and 'Auburn'. It has been tested in
disease nurseries and for reaction to the Hessian fly since 1979.
Adder has been tested for soft red winter wheat milling and baking
qualities since 1979.
Adder is about 3 days later in heading and about 12 cm shorter
than 'Arthur', with winterhardiness similar to Arthur. The peduncle is
snaky. The spike is mid-dense, oblong, awnletted (with concentration
near the tip), and yellow at maturity. Glumes are mid-long and mid-
wide, with rounded shoulders and acute beaks. Kernels are red and
ovate with a narrow and shallow crease. Milling and baking qualities
are excellent and similar to those of Caldwell.
Adder has adult-plant resistance to Mycosphaerella graminicola
(Fuckel) Schroeter, which caused Septoria tritici blotch, and to
naturally occurring races of Erysiphe graminis in Indiana. It has
adult-plant resistance to races of Puccinia recondita naturally
occurring in Indiana. Adder has both seedling and adult-plant
resistance to some cultivars of races 15B, 151, and 11-32-114 of
Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.
Adder has moderate resistance to the soil-borne mosaic virus, to
the wheat spindle streak mosaic virus, and to the aphid-borne barley
yellow dwarf virus in Indiana. It has a moderate level of resistance
to Rhizoctonia spring blight (caused by Rhizoctonia solani (BN) Kuhn)
and to the take-all root rot disease (incited by Gaeumannomyces
graminis var. tritici Walker). Adder has the H6 gene for resistance
to Hessian fly, which provides resistance to biotypes GP, A, and B, E,
H, I, J, and M. Adder is adapted to Indiana and to nearby areas of
the Eastern Soft Wheat Region where its disease and Hessian fly
resistances are effective. Variety protection for Adder was applied
for under the Plant Variety Protection Act, Public Law 91-577, in
conjunction with Title V of the Federal Seed Act. If granted, Adder
may be sold for seed only as a class of certified seed and must be
labeled as a protected cultivar. The owners further specify that
Adder may be sold for seed only by cultivar name. Breeder seed is
maintained by the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station,
West Lafayette, IN 47907.

Registration of Adena Wheat (Reg. No. 704).
H.N. Lafever
'ADENA', PI 481852, is a soft red winter wheat cultivar (Triticum
aestivum L.) (Reg. no. 704) developed by the Ohio Agricultural
Research and Development Center, Ohio State University and released in
1984. Adena originated from the cross S227/'Logan'-
F2/2/'Blueboy'/3/Logan. The last cross was made in 1970. S227 is an
unreleased sister line of the Indian spring wheat cultivar 'Kalyan
Sona' and has multi-floret tendencies and short stature. Adena was
first selected as an individual plant in the F2 and reselected as a
single plant in the F3. Breeder seed was constituted from the progeny
of 23 uniform, phenotypically identical plants selected in F7,
maintained separately through the F12, then bulked.
Following 4 yrs of preliminary testing, Adena has been tested in
statewide trials since 1978 and was tested in the Uniform Eastern Soft
Red Winter Wheat Nursery in 1980, 1981, and 1982 at locations
throughout the eastern USA under the designation OH 188.
Adena has a heading date equal to 'Hart' in Ohio tests, averaging
4 days earlier than 'Titan' and Logan. It is a very short statured
cultivar, averaging 10-cm shorter than Hart, 15-cm shorter than Titan,
and 23-cm shorter than Logan, with an average height of 84-cm under
Ohio conditions. Straw strength is excellent, averaging 6% lodging in
43 tests over 7 yrs in Ohio. Winterhardiness of Adena in Ohio is
excellent. Spikes of Adena are apically awnletted, fusiform, and
erect at maturity. Glumes are white, long, and mid-wide; the glume
shoulders are oblique to square with acuminate beaks. Kernels are
ovate, red, mid-sized with rounded cheeks, a short non-collared brush,
and a deep narrow crease. Phenol reaction is fawn.
In 43 performance tests conducted in Ohio from 1978 through 1984,
Adena averaged 3827 kg ha-1 compared to an average yield of Hart and
Titan of 3880 and 3860, respectively. Average yields of Adena,
'Arthur', Logan, and 'Roland', in 30 Ohio tests were 3800, 3436, 3544,
and 3651, respectively. In the Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat
Nursery, Adena yielded an average of 3699 kg ha-1 over a total of 71
tests conducted over 3 yrs (1980 to 82), while 'Oasis' and 'Auburn'
yielded an average of 3318 and 3609 ha-1, respectively. Test weight
of Adena is moderately low, but better than that of Titan. Average
volume weight of Adena, in 43 Ohio tests, was 911.3 kg m-3 compared to
907.6 926.2 for Titan and Hart, respectively.
Adena has exhibited excellent soft red wheat milling and baking
quality in tests conducted on numerous samples submitted to the USDA-
ARS Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, Wooster, OH.
Adena is only moderately resistant to populations of powdery
mildew (caused by Erysiphe graninis DC. f. sp. tritici E. Marchal) in
the Midwest and is moderately susceptible to races of leaf rust
(caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici) present in
Ohio. It exhibits the best tolerance or resistance to wheat spindle
streak mosaic virus (WSSMV) of any cultivars currently grown in Ohio.
Adena has also exhibited excellent field resistance to scab (caused by
species of Fusarium) and loose smut [caused by Ustilago tritici
(Pers.) Rostr.]. Adena possesses the H7 and H8 genes for Hessian fly
(Mayetiola destructor Say) resistance.
The Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Ohio State
University, Wooster, OH 44691 will maintain breeder seed of Adena.
Plant Variety Protection has been applied for under the seed
certification option, with only foundation and certified classes of
seed allowed beyond breeder seed. Foundation seed was first
distributed to certified seed producers in 1984.

REGISTRATION OF ANDERSON WHEAT (Reg. No. 369)
E. G. Heyne
ANDERSON, CI 12536, is a soft red wheat variety, with an
intermediate habit of growth, distributed by the South Carolina
Experiment Station in the fall of 1951. In 1947, an entry was made in
the Uniform Southeastern Wheat Nursery by the Crops Research Division,
ARS, USDA, designated as Y2652. It is a selection from the cross
Leapland X Froneria made by J. W. Taylor. Purification and increase
of this strain was done at the South Carolina Experiment Station and
Coker's Pedigreed Seed Company. The material was the source of the
original release and further maintenance of foundation seed of
Anderson. W. R. Paden and E. B. Eskew made the application for
registration.
The superior traits of Anderson are high yield performance,
moderate resistance to leaf rust, mildew, and lodging. The variety is
medium-late in maturity with a white, tall but stiff straw. The
spikes are awnleted, oblong, and lax. The glumes are brown and smooth
with narrow rounded shoulders. The kernels are red, midlong to long,
and produce flour quality satisfactory for medium-strength soft wheat
flour. Anderson is susceptible to mosaic and stem rust. Descriptions
of Anderson have been published. Information on some of these
characteristics are given in table 4.

Registration of Arthur Wheat (Reg. No. 551).
F. L. Patterson, R. L. Gallun, and J. J. Roberts
'ARTHUR' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.), CI 14425, is a
soft red winter wheat cultivar developed cooperatively by the Purdue
University Agricultural Experiment Station and the ARS, USDA and
released by the two agencies in 1968. Along with the applicants,
major contributions to the development of Arthur were made by three
former staff members of Purdue University (J. F. Schafer, Chairman,
Department of Plant Pathology, Washington State University; R. M.
Caldwell, retired; and L. E. Compton, ARS, USDA, retired).
Arthur was selected in 1960 in the F3 generation following a
complex series of crosses with the final cross in 1957. The parentage
of Arthur is 'Minhardi' / 'Wabash' /5/ 'Fultz Selection' / 'Hungarian'
/2/ W38 /3/ Wabash /4/ 'Fairfield' /6/ 'Redcoat' sib / Wis CI12633 /7/
'Vigo' /4/ 'Trumbull' /2/ 'Hope/ / 'Hussar' /3/ 'Fulhio' / 'Purkof*3
/5/ 'Kenya Farmer. The various experimental lines making up the
immediate parentage of this complex cross were developed over a 35-
year period of research and breeding at Purdue University. Breeder
seed originated from 75 head rows grown and observed for uniformity in
1964.
Arthur is early maturing with straw of medium height (93 cm) and
medium strength. Spikes are middense, oblong, apically awnletted,
yellow, and generally nodding at maturity. Glumes are white, midlong
and midwide; shoulders are rounded (to square) and midwide. Beaks are
midwide, obtuse, and 0.5 to 1.5 mm long. Coleoptiles generally are
partially colored light purple.
Kernels are red and ovate, with rounded cheeks and a middeep
crease. The brush is medium in size and midlong. The embryo is
large. Kernels average about 38 g/1000.
Arthur is widely adapted in the eastern soft wheat region of the
United States. It occupied 70% of the wheat hectarage in Indiana in
1972, 4 years after its release. When released, Arthur surpassed
cultivars then available in tillering ability, yielding ability, and
resistance to stem rust, powdery mildew, and loose smut. It has good
resistance to soil-borne mosaic, and moderate resistance to leaf rust.
It has the H3 gene for antibiosis to Hessian fly biotypes GP, A, and C
but is susceptible to biotypes B and D. Because of its capacity to
tiller when infested by virulent biotypes, Arthur does show good
tolerance to damage by Hessian fly.
Arthur has good soft wheat milling quality and good baking
quality for cakes, cookies, and other pastries.
Breeder seed will be maintained by the Purdue University
Agricultural Experiment Station.

Registration of Arthur 71 and Abe Wheat (Reg. Nos. 560 and 562).
F. L. Patterson, R. L. Gallun, J. J. Roberts, R. E. Finney, and G. E.
Shaner
'ARTHUR 71' and 'ABE' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.)
were developed cooperatively by the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn. and
the ARS, USDA, and released by the two agencies in 1971 and 1972,
respectively. Along with the authors, major contributions to the
breeding of Arthur 71 and Abe were made by two former staff members of
Purdue and ARS.
Arthur 71 (CI 15282), previously designated Purdue 66278
Composite, is a soft red winter wheat and a backcross derivative of
'Arthur' with added resistance to Hessian fly of the 'Ribeiro' type
(H5 gene) and resistance to leaf rust of the 'Transfer' type (LR9).
The parentage is Arthur *5/3/ Purdue 6028A2-15-9-2/2/ 'Riley'*2/
'Riley 67.' The Hessian fly resistance (H5) was introduced via Purdue
6028A2-15-9-2 and the leaf rust resistance (LR9) Riley 67. During
backcrossing, F1 plants were used which had been identified as
possessing the LR9 gene for seedling resistance to leaf rust. F2
progenies of each parent F1 plant were tested with race D of Hessian
fly to verify that the parents carried to the next backcross all
possessed the H5 gene. The final breeder seed was derived from two F1
plants of the final backcross. Progenies were tested for resistances
to leaf rust and race D of Hessian fly in the F2, F3, and F4
generations of selfing following the final backcross. Seed from 264
F4 plants formed the breeder seed of Arthur 71.
Arthur 71 resembles Arthur in most characters. It is a
moderately early cultivar and midtall (93 cm) like Arthur. Straw is
moderately stiff, but not as good as Arthur. Yield of Arthur 71 has
averaged slightly lower than Arthur. Leaves are light green vs.
Arthur's medium green.
Spikes are middense, oblong, apically awnletted, yellow, and
generally nodding at maturity, all like Arthur. Glumes are also
similar to those of Arthur being midlong and midwide with shoulders
rounded (to square) and with midwide obtuse beaks 0.5 to 1.5-mm long.
Some purple color generally is present on the coleoptile.
Kernels, like Arthur's, are red and ovate with rounded cheeks and
a middeep crease. The brush is medium in size and mid-long. The
embryo is large. The average weight of 1,000 kernels is about 38 g.
Arthur 71 is resistant to all known races of Hessian fly in
greenhouse and field tests although at prolonged temperatures of 21 C
or higher it tends to lose its seedling resistance. It is similar to
Arthur in resistance to stem rust, being highly resistant to races
15B, 29, 38, and 56 in field tests. Arthur 71 appears similar to
Arthur in its excellent resistance to powdery mildew and to loose
smut, and in resistance to soil-borne mosaic. It has been highly
resistant (LR9 gene) to leaf rust in both seedling and adult tests
except to a new culture of race 58 collected in Indian in 1971 which
is virulent on 'Transfer' (LR9).
Arthur 71 is similar to Arthur in good soft wheat milling and
baking quality.
Arthur 71 was released in 1971 and in 1973 occupied about 20
percent of the wheat acreage of Indiana as well as sizeable acreages
in several states in the eastern soft wheat region of United States.
Abe (CI 15375), previously designated Purdue 65245B12-3-7-7, is a
soft winter wheat and an unusual segregant following the third
backcross to Arthur to improve resistances to leaf rust and to Hessian
fly. The parentage of Abe is Arthur *4/3/Purdue 6028A2-15-9-
2/2/Riley*2/Riley 67. The parentage is similar to Arthur 71 except
having one less backcross to Arthur. The Hessian fly resistance (H5
gene) was introduced from Ribeiro via Purdue 6028A2-15-9-2 and the
leaf rust resistance (LR9 gene) from Transfer via Riley 67. During
backcrossing seedling resistance to leaf rust (LR9) was identified in
F1 parent plants. Resistance to Hessian fly (H5) was identified in F1
plant progenies following crossing and only crosses of resistant
parent plants were retained. Following the final backcross pedigree
selection was made in the F1, F2, F3, and F4 generations of selfing.
Original breeder seed was in the F7 generation of selfing.
Abe resembles Arthur and Arthur 71 in general. Abe is a
moderately early, moderately short (91 cm) cultivar with moderately
stiff straw. Abe has generally exceeded Arthur and Arthur 71 in yield
and straw strength. At booting, Abe is blue green in color (vs. green
for Arthur and light green for Arthur 71) and has an upright flag leaf
(vs. horizontal for Arthur and Arthur 71).
Spikes are middense, oblong, apically awnletted, yellow, and
generally nodding at maturity. The awnlets of Abe are distinctly
longer than those of Arthur and Arthur 71. The glumes are midlong and
midwide, with rounded (to square) shoulders. Beaks are midwide and
0.t to 1.5-mm long. Coleoptile color is light purple.
Kernels are red and ovate with rounded cheeks and a mid-deep
crease. The embryo is large. The average weight of 1,000 kernels is
about 39 g.
Abe is resistant to all known races of Hessian fly in greenhouse
and field tests. Like Arthur 71, Abe tends to lose its seedling
resistance to Hessian fly at prolonged temperatures of > 21 C. Abe is
similar to arthur in its high resistance to powdery mildew, loose
smut, and stem rust. It has the LR 9 gene for resistance to leaf rust
in addition to resistance from Arthur. Abe has been highly resistant
in both the seedling and adult stage to leaf rust except for a culture
of race 58 collected in Indiana in 1971, which is virulent on Transfer
(LR9).
Abe has good milling and baking quality. It is a little softer
in kernel texture than Arthur and similar to Arthur in baking
potential.
Abe appears widely adapted in the eastern soft wheat region,
based on regional tests during 1971 to 1974.
Arthur 71 and Abe are protected (Certificate 7200084 and 7300049,
respectively) under the Plant Variety Protection act, Public Law 91-
577, by the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn. Seed may be sold only as a
class of certified seed. Seed classes recognized are breeder,
foundation, registered, and certified. Breeder seed will be
maintained by Purdue University.

REGISTRATION OF ATLAS 50 WHEAT (Reg. No. 352)
E. G. Heyne
ATLAS 50, CI 12534, was developed by the North Carolina Agr. Exp.
Sta. and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA. G. K. Middleton made
the application for registration. Frondosa was crossed with a
selection from Redhart 3-Noll 28 in 1936 by J. W. Taylor. F4 seed was
sent to North Carolina in 1940 and the final selection was made in
1942 by G. K. Middleton. Atlas 50 was distributed in 1948 and is
grown in North Carolina and several other southeastern states. The
superior characters of this variety are stiff straw, high yield, fair
resistance to mildew, some resistance to leaf rust and a high protein
content (12). It has been generally recognized that protein content
of wheat among varieties does not differ significantly when grown
under the same conditions and grain yields are similar. However,
Atlas 50 had a significantly higher protein content and also higher
yield than standard varieties in tests reported on in 1954 (11).
Atlas 50 has awnless to awnleted spikelets, oblong to clavate spike;
white glabrous glumes; short to midlong, soft to semi-hard, red
kernels; and an intermediate habit of winter growth (1). Yields of
Atlas 50 in comparison with 2 standard varieties in North Carolina are
given in table 1.

ATLAS 66, CI 12561, was developed by the North Carolina Agr. Exp.
Sta. and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, G. K. Middleton made
the application for registration. Atlas 66 was selected from the same
cross as Atlas 50, Frondosa X Redhart 3-Noll 28. F4 seed was sent to
North Carolina in 1940 and the final selection was made in 1942 by G.
K. Middleton. Atlas 66 was distributed in 1948 and was grown on
nearly 31% of the North Carolina wheat acreage in 1954. It is adapted
for grain production in the Piedmont region and Costal Plains of North
Carolina and South Carolina and for forage further south. The
superior characters of this variety are stiff straw, high yield, good
leaf rust resistance, tolerance to mildew and high protein content
(12). Atlas 66 has the significantly higher percentage of protein and
yield pointed out for the variety Atlas 50 (11). Atlas 66 has awnless
to awnleted spikelets; oblong to clavate spike; short to midlong, soft
to semi-hard, red kernels; and an intermediate habit of winter growth

Registration of Auburn Wheat (Reg. NO. 652).
F. L. Patterson, G. E. Shaner, H. W. Ohm, R. E. Finney, R. L. Gallun,
J. J. Roberts and J. E. Foster
'AUBURN' (CI 17898) soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.),
developed at the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn. in cooperation with
ARS, USDA, was released in 1981. It was tested in Indiana and
regionally as Purdue 69195C9-4-1-1- before it was named.
The abbreviated parentage of Auburn is: 'Siete Cerros' / 'Arthur'
/2/ Purdue 6850 sel. /6/ Afghanistan sel/ Purdue 5374 sel. /4/
'Knox'* 2/2/ 'Frontana' / 'Exchange' /3/ 'Riley' sib /5/ Arthur*5 /2/
Arthur sib / 'Agatha' /3/ Purdue 6729 F1. Purdue 6850 sel. and Purdue
6729F1 are similar to 'Oasis' and Purdue 5374 sel. is similar to 'Knox
62'. Auburn was developed by the pedigree method of breeding with
plant selection in the F1, F2, F3, and F4 generations. Progeny of the
F4 plant were grown without selection during the F5 to F8 generations.
In the F9 generation 52 to 100 plant progeny rows homozygous for
moderate resistance to Septoria leaf blotch (incited by Septoria
tritici Rob. ex. Desm.) and resistant to leaf rust (incited by
Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) in the adult plant stage in the
field in 1978 were bulked to form breeder seed. In 1980 breeder seed
was in the F11 generation.
Auburn was evaluated in Indiana in nursery yield trials from 1975
to 1980, in intra-state drill plot performance plots from 1978 to
1980, and in disease nurseries from 1970 to 1980. It was tested
regionally in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery in
1980. Milling and baking qualities were evaluated from 1976 to 1979.
Auburn is outstanding for winterhardiness in Indiana. It is
moderately early, heading about 3 days later than Arthur. It averages
91 cm tall, about 5 cm shorter than Arthur.
The young plant is semi-erect and may express anthocyanin
pigmentation. The sheath of the first leaf is glabrous. The plant is
medium green at booting and the flag leaf is generally erect and not
twisted. The flag leaf sheath shows a light bloom. The leaf below
the flag leaf averages 11 mm wide and 16 cm long. Auricles are
glabrous and may show anthocyanin pigmentation.
Culms are glabrous, strong, erect, hollow, and characteristically
express anthocyanin pigmentation and a light bloom. Four nodes
usually occur above ground and the distance between the flag leaf and
the next leaf below averages 18 cm. The peduncle has a very light
expression of snakiness.
Spikes are lax to mid-dense, tapering, awnletted, and a light
brownish-white to white at maturity. Spikes average 9 cm long and 13
mm wide. Glumes are glabrous, midlong, and midwide. Shoulders are
rounded and beaks are obtuse and midwide. Kernels are red, ovate, and
average 6 mm long, 3 mm wide, and 29 mg in weight. The phenol
reaction is brown. Anthers are yellow.
Auburn has been resistant to moderately susceptible to Puccinia
graminis Pers. form sp. tritici Erik & E. Henn. in field nursery
tests. It has been resistant i the adult plant field tests to P
recondita races 5, 15, 35, 76, UN9, and new races virulent to gene Lr9
occurring naturally in Indiana during 1978-1980. Auburn is resistant
to races of Erysiphe graminis DC form sp. tritici E. Marchal and to
Septoria tritici in Indiana. It has been free of loose smut caused by
Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr., during its development.
Auburn is moderately susceptible to the aphid-borne barley yellow
dwarf virus disease and to the soil-borne mosaic and spindle streak
mosaic virus diseases. It has excellent resistance to biotypes A and
B of Hessian fly [Mayetolia destructor (Say)] conferred by the H6
gene. Auburn is intolerant to aluminum in acid soils.
Auburn is similar to Arthur-type cultivars in test weight,
although kernels are smaller. Auburn has excellent soft red wheat
milling quality and good baking quality.
Variety protection will be applied for under the Plant Variety
Protection Act, Public Law 91-577, under the seed certification
required option. If granted, the owners further specify that Auburn
may be sold for seed only by variety name. Breeder seed is maintained
by the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn., West Lafayette, IN 47907.

REGISTRATION OF AUSTIN WHEAT (Reg. No. 342)
J. A. Clark
AUSTIN (CI 12346) was developed from a cross between
Mediterranean and Hope made at the Texas Agricultural Experiment
Station, College Station, Tex., in 1928. Bulk hybrid populations were
grown at several Texas substations and in 1934 and 1935 large bulk
populations were grown at the Kansas and Nebraska Agricultural
Experiment Stations. In these cooperative experiments with the
Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases more than 5,000 selections were
made. Selection 41-16-3-3 was finally named Austin and increased.
Austin is similar in many agronomic characteristics to its
Mediterranean parent. It has an intermediate habit of growth and is
not winterhardy. It is relatively tall with bearded spikes and brown
glumes. The outstanding desirable characteristics are high resistance
to stem rust and loose smut and moderate resistance to some races of
leaf rust.
The Austin wheat has been included in nursery experiments at the
Denton station since 1937. In 1943 it was seriously damaged by a late
spring freeze (March 3) when older standard varieties were not
damaged. Except for the 1943 season it has outyielded Denton and
other Mediterranean strains each year. Tests include six stations in
Texas. Its relatively low test weight results in a lower flour yield
but it produces a satisfactory flour for the family flour trade.
Austin wheat was first distributed to Texas wheat growers in 1942 and
the variety has become so popular that it was estimated to be grown on
750,000 acres by 1946.

REGISTRATION OF BALDROCK WHEAT (Reg. No. 271)
J. A. Clark
BALDROCK (C. I. No. 11538) was produced by the Michigan State
College, East Lansing, Mich., from a field hybrid between Red Rock and
some unknown variety. This hybrid was probably produced in 1916.
Many awnless selections were made from it and tested from 1917 to
1922. Baldrock is one of these strains. It was increased in 1930 and
145 bushels of seed were distributed to farmers in 1931. The
advantages of this variety are that it is bald winter-hardy, a good
yielder, with stiff straw and satisfactory flour quality. Comparative
experimental yields furnished by E. E. Down and H. M. Brown, the
breeders, are given in Table 1.

Registration of Beau Wheat (Reg. No. 612).
F. L. Patterson, H. W. Ohm, J. J. Roberts, G. E. Shaner, R. E. Finney,
and R. L. Gallun
'BEAU' soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.) CI
17420, was developed at the Purdue Univ. Agric Exp. Stn. in
cooperation with USDA-SEA. It was released in 1976. Beau was tested
in Indiana and regionally as Purdue 6559B5-6-6-6-1 before it was
named.
The abbreviated parentage of Beau is: 'Arthur'*3/3/Purdue 6028A2-
15-9-2/2'Riley'*2/'Riley 67'. Beau was derived following two back
crosses to Arthur in the program to add resistance to leaf rust
(incited by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici) and to
Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor, Say) to Arthur. Beau was then
developed by pedigree selection after the two backcrosses to Arthur.
Selections were made in the F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 generations of
selfing. Breeder seed was formed by compositing seed of 100 plant
rows judged to be uniform in type in F9 generation. Breeder seed in
1975 was in the F12 generation of selfing.
Beau is an exceptional segregant for excellent straw strength.
It averages 1 day later in maturity and about 2 cm shorter than Arthur
(88 cm).
The purple color of the coleptile occurs as a linear band. Young
plants are intermediate in growth habit, and lower leaf sheaths are
glabrous. Young seedlings and plants at booting are dark green. Flag
leaves are upright at booting. The leaf below the flag leaf averages
11 mm wide and 22 cm long. Culms are glabrous and erect.
Spikes of Beau are middense to lax, oblong, apically awnletted,
yellow, and generally nodding at maturity. Spike width and length
vary with production levels and populations, averaging about 12 mm and
6 cm, respectively. Glumes are midlong and midwide. Shoulders are
rounded to oblique and midwide. Beaks are obtuse and 0.5 to 1.0 mm
long. Kernels are red and ovate and average 6 mm long, 3 mm wide, and
36 g per 1,000. The phenol reaction is brown.
Beau has the H5 gene for resistance to Hessian fly. This
resistance is derived from 'Ribeiro' via Purdue 6028A2-15-9-2.
Beau has been similar to Arthur in resistance to the powdery
mildew disease (incited by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Em.
Marchal) in both seedling and adult plant stages. Beau has resistance
to some races of P. recondita. In the field it has had a low level of
infection of susceptible type pustules along with necrotic resistant
reactions. It is susceptible to race 76 in the seedling stage. It
did not receive the Lr9 genetic factor from the Riley 67 parent.
Beau is resistant to many races of Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp.
tritici Eriks & E. Henn. in the seeding and adult plant stages. It is
susceptible to some cultures of race 15B to which Arthur is resistant.
Beau has been resistant to loose smut (incited by Ustilago tritici
(Pers.) Rostr.) in Indiana.
Beau has shown a susceptible (dense pycnidia within lesions) reaction
to Septoria tritici in the young plant stage but has shown a general
resistance in maintaining green flag leaves later in the epidemic
(Phytopathology 64:761-766. 1975).
Beau is generally similar to Arthur in milling and baking
qualities.
Beau is a Protected Variety, Certificate 7700031, and may be sold
for seed only as a class of Certified Seed. Breeder seed is
maintained by the Purdue Univ. Agric Exp. Stn., West Lafayette, IN
47907.

Registration of Becker Wheat (Reg. No. 726).
H. N. Lafever
'BECKER', PI 494524, is a soft red winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) (Reg. no. 726) developed by the Ohio Agricultural
Research and Development Center and officially released in 1985.
Becker was tested prior to release as OH 234 in state-wide trials in
Ohio from 1980 through 1984 and in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter
Wheat Nursery from 1981 through 1984. Becker was selected for release
primarily due to its superior yield record in comparison to currently
popular 'Titan', 'Hart', and 'Caldwell', and its excellent lodging
resistance.
Becker is a selection from the cross of Hart/Va. 66-54-10, the
latter an experimental line from the Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station. Becker was first selected as an F3 plant in 1975, then
reselected in F7 in 1979. Breeder seed consisted of the bulked
progeny of 17 F7 plants. Becker is a sister line of 'GR855', but
differs from it in maturity, disease resistance, and glume
characteristics.
Becker has apically awnletted, fusiform, upright spikes with
white (or yellow) chaff. Glumes are long and narrow with oblique to
rounded shoulders and obtuse beaks. kernels are elliptical and red
with a medium-length noncollared brush. Coleoptile color is purple,
but seedlings typically exhibit no anthocyanin. Plant color at boot
stage is blue-green while anther color at anthesis is yellow.
Becker is an extremely short, midseason maturity cultivar with
excellent winterhardiness under Ohio conditions. It averaged 15 cm
shorter, 2 d earlier, and 2% higher winter survival than Titan in 42
tests in Ohio from 1980 through 1986.
Becker is only moderately tolerant to acid soil conditions. It
is highly resistant to natural infections of loose smut [caused by
Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.] and moderately resistant to field
races of leaf rust (caused by Pucinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp.
tritici), but susceptible to powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe
graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E. Marchal). Becker also is resistant to
wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSM) and possesses the H3 gene for
resistance to races GP, A, C, and F of Hessian fly (Mayetiola
destructor Say).
The USDA-ARS Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, Wooster, OH, has
found Becker to posses excellent milling and baking quality. It
ranked third in overall quality among 32 entries in the Uniform
Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery in 1982 and third among 34
entries in 1983.
Grain yields of Becker, Hart, and Titan averaged over 42
location-yr (1980-1986) in Ohio were 4180, 4071, and 3997 kg ha-1,
respectively. In comparative tests in Ohio with Caldwell over 12
location-yr (1981, 1982, 1986), Becker yielded an average of 3998 kg
ha-2 while Caldwell averaged 3823 kg ha-1.
Becker has been found to be particularly well suited for
production under high fertility conditions due to its excellent straw
strength, however, foliage diseases, especially powdery mildew, must
be closely monitored due to Becker's susceptibility to this disease.
When foliar diseases appear to be increasing, applications of proper
systemic fungicides have resulted in yield increases ranging from 511
to 2556 kg ha-1 (+12 to +50%, respectively), compared to untreated
plots in 3 yr of studies.
Becker was named in honor of the late Roy Becker, long-time
secretary-manager of the Ohio Seed Improvement Association and a
strong supporter of agricultural research.
Foundation seed of Becker was first distributed to seedsmen in
the fall of 1985. Only foundation and certified classes of seed will
be allowed beyond breeder seed. Application for protection under the
Plant Variety Protection Act, Title V option has been made
(Application no. 8600152). Breeder seed will be maintained by the
Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, The Ohio State
University, Wooster, OH 44691.

Registration of Benhur Wheat (Reg. No. 595).
F. L. Patterson, J. F. Schafer, R. L. Gallun, and J. J. Roberts
'BENHUR' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.) CI 14054 is a
soft red winter cultivar developed cooperatively by the Purdue
University Agricultural Experiment Station and the SEA, USDA and
released in 1966. Along with the authors, major contributions to the
breeding of Benhur were made by two former staff members of Purdue and
SEA.
Benhur was tested earlier as Purdue 5724A1-1-3. The parentage is
'Knox 62' sib/6/'Vigo'/4/'Trumbull'/2/'Hope'/'Hussar'/3/'Fairfield sib
(Purdue 427A1-1-3)*3/5/'Kenya Farmer'. Plant selections were made in
the F1, F2, and F3 generations. Progenies of 97 plants selected in
the F6 generation and judged as uniform in the F7 generations were
bulked to form the initial lot of breeder seed.
The development of Benhur provided a short, very early cultivar,
with resistances to the major wheat diseases and to Hessian fly
(Mayetiola destructor Say). Its release in 1966 was timely since
Benhur was resistant to new races of leaf rust (Puccinia recondita
Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici Erik.), powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis
DC. f. sp. tritici em. Marchal) and Hessian fly attacking 'Monon'.
Benhur was resistant to the leaf rust races in Indiana when it
was released. It is moderately resistant to powdery mildew and highly
resistant to stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici Eriks and E.
Henn.) and to loose smut (Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.) Benhur is
moderately resistant to the soil-borne mosaic virus disease in
Indiana. It is intermediate in expression of "brown necrosis" derived
from Hope and associated with resistance to stem rust and loose smut.
Benhur has resistance to the H6 H6 type to Hessian fly races GP, A,
and B derived from PI 94587 via the Knox 62 sib parent.
A short and very early cultivar with very strong straw, Benhur
has averaged 1 to 8 cm shorter and 2 days earlier in flowering than
Monon in Indiana. Benhur has about the same level of winterhardiness
as 'Knox 62' and its soft wheat milling and baking qualities are
excellent.
Benhur has moderately short (105 cm), erect, strong yellow stems.
The spikes are midlong, yellow, tapering, awnleted, and erect to
inclined. Glumes are midlong and midwide with rounded to square
shoulders. The beak is obtuse, midwide, and about 0.5 mm long.
Awnlets are yellow and are generally 1 to 15 mm long. Kernels are
red, ovate, soft, with a rounded cheek, and a middeep crease. The
germ and brush are of medium sizes.
Benhur was produced on an estimated 20% of the Indiana acreage by
1970 but was soon largely replaced with the cultivar 'Arthur' (Reg.
No. 551), released in 1968.
Breeder seed of Benhur will be maintained by Purdue University.

REGISTRATION OF BLACKHAWK WHEAT (Reg. No. 341)
J. A. Clark
BLACKHAWK (CI 12218) was developed by the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experiment Station and the Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture from a cross between a selection
(Br-ml-4) of Fultz, CI 5308, X Minturki. The cross was made in 1930
and Blackhawk resulted from a single F7 plant selected in 1937. The
purpose of this cross was to combine disease resistance with soft red
wheat quality and sufficient winterhardiness to survive the Wisconsin
winters.
The superior characters of Blackhawk are high yield and
resistance to several diseases, particularly leaf rust. Field plot
yield test at Madison, Wis., were conducted for 5 years. Yields are
also available from three branch stations in Wisconsin for periods of
1 to 3 years. In the fall of 1941, Blackhawk was entered in the
Uniform Regional Eastern Soft Winter Wheat Nursery where it was tested
for 4 years. In inoculation tests, it is resistant to Wisconsin
collections of bunt and is intermediate or moderately susceptible to
local loose smut collections.
Blackhawk is an awned winter wheat with white chaff, a medium-
sized head and soft or semisoft red kernels. The kernel texture is
slightly harder and the percentage of protein is somewhat higher than
is usual in typical soft wheats. Experimental milling and baking
tests conducted at the Federal Soft Wheat Laboratory, Wooster, Ohio,
indicated that the gluten was weak and that the flour was satisfactory
for cakes, biscuits, crackers, and the hard sweet goods. These
results were substantiated by one test of a commercial laboratory.
Blackhawk was named in the fall of 1944 when approximately 400 bushels
of seed were distributed to producers.

REGISTRATION OF BLEDSOE WHEAT (Reg. No. 359)
E. G. Heyne
BLEDSOE, CI 13238, was developed at the Georgia Coastal Plain
Exp. Sta. in cooperation with the Crops Research Branch, ARS, USDA,
and distributed by the Georgia Exp Sta. in 1956. The final selection
was made by U. R. Gore in 1950 from the complex cross [(Frondosa X
Redhart 3-Noll) X Purplestraw 3] X [ (S990 X Illinois No. 1W38-Hope) X
Purplestraw] which was received from J. W. Taylor of Beltsville, Md.,
in 1949. The last cross was made in 1944. The name was selected in
honor of the late R. P. Bledsoe of Georgia. Application for
registration was made by U. R. Gore.
The variety is medium-early in maturity and has a semi-winter
habit of growth and soft red grain. Bledsoe resists the prevalent
races of leaf and stem rust and soil-borne mosaic, and is moderately
resistant to mildew. It has been tested in Georgia performance trials
since 1953 and in the uniform southern wheat nursery during 1956-57
under the number FW701-X-31. Yield data from Tifton and Experiment,
Georgia, are given in table 4. In an average of 4 years of testing at
Experiment, Bledsoe exceeded the next highest-yielding variety, Atlas
50, by 6 bushels per acre; it exceeded by 6 bushels the Coastal
variety in a 5 year test at Tifton. It appears to be well adapted to
the Coastal Plain area. Quality tests indicate the grain is soft and
suitable for family-type flour. It has slightly higher protein
content than Chancellor.
Twelve hundred bushels of seed were sown in the fall of 1956 in
Georgia, and about 30,000 bushels were sown in the fall of 1957 in
Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi.

Registration of Blueboy Wheat (Reg. No. 456).
Charles F. Murphy
'BLUEBOY,' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) CI 14031 is a
semidwarf soft red winter wheat developed at North Carolina State
University. It is a pure line selection from the cross 'Vogel 5':
('Norin 10' X 'Brevor') X ('Anderson' X 'Coker 55-9'). The original
cross was made by W. P. Byrd at Clemson, South Carolina, in 1957. Ten
F1 seeds were sent to North Carolina in October 1957. Ten F1 seeds
were sent to North Carolina in October 1957. Selections were made by
G. K. Middleton and T. T. Hebert through the F4 generations. Final
selection in the F5 generation was made by C. F. Murphy.
The name Blueboy refers to the characteristic bluish appearance
of the variety after flag leaf development. This is due to the
presence of bloom on the flag leaf and stem. Blueboy is an awnletted
variety with large, oblong, mid-dense, nodding spikes. The glumes are
white, midlong and midwide, with square shoulders and beaks measuring
about 0.1 cm. The kernel is red, midlong and ovate, with sole
texture, and the germ is midsized, with a midwide, deep crease and
rounded cheek. The brush is large and midlong.
Blueboy has shown exceptional yield potential. The 1964-65
average yields from the Coastal Plains show Blueboy to have averaged
55.8 bushels per acre, as compared with 45.5 for 'Wakeland' and 46.9
for 'Hadden." In the Piedmont it has averaged 54.9 bushels per acre,
as compared to 48.2 for 'Ga. 1123' and 46.0 for 'Know 62." In all
tests in which both varieties have been grown, Blueboy has yielded
more than 35% higher than the entries in the Uniform Nurseries at the
Southern locations in 1965. Blueboy is characterized by excellent
straw strength, responsiveness to nitrogen and good soft wheat milling
and baking characteristics. Test weights on Blueboy have been 2 to 3
pounds lower than other varieties but this is considered to be more
than offset by its increased yields. Blueboy is somewhat more
variable in appearance than some varieties and it has a variable
reaction to some races of leaf rust and mildew. It is resistant to
soil-borne mosaic virus.
Seed stocks are being increased from 17 pounds planted in the
fall of 1964, to approximately 100,000 bushels expected to be
available to farmers for planting in the fall of 1967. Breeder seed
will be maintained by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Registration of Blueboy II Wheat (Reg. No. 513).
Charles F. Murphy
'BLUEBOY II,' (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.), CI 15281, is a
soft red winter wheat selection from the cross Agent/Tascosa
(F7)/2/4*Blueboy. Blueboy II is a high yielding, stiff-strawed,
nitrogen responsive semidwarf variety which is very similar in
appearance to its recurrent parent, Blueboy. It is the result of a
backcrossing program, began in 1965, to incorporate a high level of
leaf rust resistance into the Blueboy type. The non-recurrent parent
was obtained from the Plant Science Research Division, Agricultural
Research Service, Department of Agriculture, Texas A&M College.
Blueboy II was named and released by the North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station, September 1, 1971.
Yield results from 33 tests show Blueboy II to have an average
yield increase of more than 8% over Blueboy. It has good resistance
to a broad range of leaf rust races and it also has good resistance to
stem rust. Its test weight is somewhat higher than Blueboy and
milling and baking characteristics are satisfactory.
Blueboy II is characterized by spikes which are apically
awnletted, fusiform, lax and nodding. The glume is white, long and
narrow; with a narrow rounded shoulder and midwide acute beak
measuring .7-1.0 millimeter. The kernel is red, short, soft and
ovate. The germ is midsized; the crease is narrow and shallow; the
cheek is rounded and the brush is large and short.
Breeder seed will be maintained by the North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station.

Registration of Bradford Wheat (Reg. No. 698).
L.R. Nelson, J.H. Gardenhire, M.E. McDaniel, and C.A. Erickson
BRADFORD PI 470925 is a soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum
L.) (Reg. no. 698) developed by the Texas Agric. Exp. Stn. at the
Texas A&M Univ. Agric. Research and Extension center at Overton, TX.
Bradford was tested as Tx-73-93 in Texas and on a regional basis and
was released in 1984.
The parentage of 'Bradford' is 'Arthur 71'/'Siete
Cerros'/2/'Coker 70-14'. Coker 70-14 was crossed to the experimental
selection Purd. 67129ES-95H which was from the cross Arthur 71/Siete
Cerros. The final cross was made at Overton in 1973 and seed was
handled as a bulk population through the F3. Head selections were
made in 1976, and in 1977 the experimental line Tx-73-93 was selected
from headrows (single row) in the F4 generations.
Bradford has been evaluated in Texas in nursery grain yield
trials since 1978, and in state drill yield plots since 1981. It was
evaluated in the southern soft red winter wheat regional nursery in
1982 and 1983. Milling and baking qualities were evaluated in 1989-
1983 at the USDA Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory at Wooster. OH.
Bradford has demonstrated good soft wheat quality, being superior to
'Delta Queen' and 'Coker 916' and inferior to 'Coker 68-15'. Test
weights have normally been good, and have been superior to 'McNair
1003' and slightly less than Coker 68-15. Bradford has been tested
for forage yields at Overton, TX since 1980. It has exhibited
outstanding forage yields similar to those of Coker 68-15.
Bradford has good winterhardiness (similar to McNair 1003) for
Texas. Its average maturity is similar to the maturity date of Coker
68-15, and about 1 week later than McNair 1003 at Overton, TX.
Bradford is a moderately tall cultivar averaging about 106 cm in
height and has demonstrated good lodging resistance.
Coleoptile color is white and seedling anthocyanin is normally
absent. Juvenile plant growth is erect and the cultivar tillers
profusely. Seed shape is elliptical; cheeks are rounded, brush is
medium to long and is collared. Seeds are normally about 7 mm in
length and 3 mm in width. Thousand kernel weight varieties between 30
to 38 g. Plant color at booting is green. Anther color is yellow.
Anthocyanin color on stems is normally absent; however, a low
percentage (2 to 5%) may be present under some environmental
conditions. Waxy bloom on stems is absent. Internodes are hollow and
there are usually 4 nodes above ground. Hairiness is present on last
internode of rachis. The length between the flag leaf internode and
leaf below is about 24 cm. Auricles have no anthocyanin and hairiness
is absent.
The flay leaf is recurved and twisted with a slight presence of a
waxy bloom on the flag leaf sheath. There are no hairs on the firs
leaf sheath. Leaf below flag leaf is normally about 11 mm in width
and 22 cm in length. The spikes is mid-dense, tapering, apically
awnletted (awns 2 to 3 cm long. Spikes are normally yellow (about
0.05% may be brown), about 8 cm in length and 11 mm in width, usually
with three seed per spikelet.
Bradford has been resistant to endemic races of powdery mildew
(caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E. Marchal) present in
Texas. It has moderately good resistance to most races of leaf rust
(caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici) observed
under Texas field conditions. Bradford is probably susceptible to
most races of stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici
Eriks. and Henn.). It has demonstrated some field resistance in Texas
to stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis West.). Bradford has
moderate resistance to Septoria nodorum Berk. (Septoria glume
blotch); however, due to its moderately tall plant height, it may
escape the destructiveness of this disease compared to shorter
cultivars.
Breeder seed will be maintained by the Texas Agric. Exp. Stn. at
Overton. Foundation seed will be available from the Foundation Seed
Service, Texas Agric. Exp. Stn., College Station, TX 77843.

REGISTRATION OF BUTLER WHEAT (Reg. No. 361)
E. G. Heyne
BUTLER, CI 12527, is a soft red winter wheat developed by the
Ohio Agr. Exp. Sta. and distributed in 1947. Application for
registration was made by C. A. Lamb. The superior characteristics of
Butler are high yield, stiff straw, loose smut resistance, less damage
from scab, and winter-hardiness.
Butler is a selection from the cross Trumbull X Portage-
Fulcaster, OSU 101-3 made in 1928. The final selection was made by C.
A. Lamb in 1933 at the experiment station at Wooster, Ohio. Yield
comparisons with Thorne and Trumbull are given in table 5. Butler is
mid-season in maturity, mid-tall, with purple straw;; the spike is
awned (5-7 cm. long), oblong, and mid-dense; the glumes are white and
glabrous; the shoulders narrow and rounded; and the beaks short and
acute. This variety resists soil-borne mosaic, flag smut, several
races of loose smut, and shows less damage from scab than other
varieties. It has acceptable soft wheat quality.
Butler is adapted to all of Ohio especially in the southwestern
area where scab is severe. There were about 400,000 acres of Butler
grown in 1954 (13).

Registration of Caldwell Wheat (Reg. No. 660).
F. L. Patterson, H. W. Ohm, G. E. Shaner, R. E. Finney, R. L. Gallun,
J. J. Roberts, and J. E. Foster
'CALDWELL' (CI 17897) common soft red winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.), developed at the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn. in
cooperation with ARS-USDA, was released in 1981. It was tested in
Indiana and regionally as Purdue 65256A1-8-7 before it was named. The
cultivar was named for the late R. M. Caldwell who contributed greatly
to wheat improvement at Purdue Univ. from 1931 to 1971. Caldwell was
released because of its broad spectrum of pest resistance, excellent
agronomic performance and commercial quality.
The parentage of Caldwell is: Purdue 5724B3-5P-8-2*2/'Siete
Cerros'. Purdue 5724B3-5P-8-2 was derived from the same cross as was
'Benhur'. Following the backcross Caldwell was developed by a
modified pedigree method with plant selections in the F1, F2, and F7
generations. In 1978, in the F13 generation, 12 plant progeny rows,
the most highly resistant to Septoria leaf blotch (incited by Septoria
tritici Rob. ex Desm.) among 100 progeny rows, were composited to form
breeders' seed. In 1980 breeders' seed was in the F15 generation of
selfing.
Caldwell was evaluated in Indiana in advanced nursery trials at
Lafayette from 1975 to 1980 (6 years), in over-state drill plots from
1978 through 1980, and in disease nurseries from 1973 through 1980.
It was tested regionally in the Uniform Easter Soft Red Winter Wheat
Performance Nursery from 1978-1980. Milling and baking qualities were
evaluated from 1975 through 1980.
Caldwell is an early maturing cultivar, heading about 1 day later
than 'Arthur'. It averages 91 cm tall, about 4 cm shorter than
Arthur. Like Benhur, it is only moderately winterhardy.
The coleoptile color is white. The young plant is semi-erect and
may express anthocyanin pigmentation. The plant is medium green at
booting and the flag leaf is recurved and not twisted. The flag leaf
sheath has a light waxy bloom. The leaf below the flag leaf averages
12 mm wide and 19 cm long. Auricles are glabrous and may express
anthocyanin.
Culms are glabrous, strong, erect, hollow, and characteristically
lack anthocyanin and waxy gloom. Four nodes usually occur above
ground and the distance between the flag leaf and the leaf below
averages 26 cm.
Spikes are lax to mid-dense, tapering, awnletted, and yellow at
maturity. Spikes average 9 cm long and 12 mm wide. Glumes are
glabrous, midlong and midwide. Shoulders are rounded and beaks are
midwide and obtuse. Kernels are red, ovate, and average 6 mm long and
3 mm wide. Kernel weight averages 28 mg. The phenol reaction is
brown. Anthers are yellow.
Caldwell has been resistant to races 15TMN, 15TLM, 151QFB,151QCB,
and 17HDL of Puccinia graminis Pers. form sp. tritici Erik. & E. Henn.
in field nursery tests. It has been resistant in adult plant field
tests to races 5, 15, 35, 76, UN9, and to new races of Puccinia
recondita Rob. ex Desm. virulent on Lr9 occurring naturally in
Indiana. We have not observed loose smut (incited by Ustilago tritici
Pers.) on Caldwell. It is resistant to S. tritici.
Caldwell is moderately resistant to barley yellow dwarf virus in
Indiana and is intermediate in reaction to the soil-borne mosaic and
the spindle streak mosaic viruses in Indiana. Caldwell has excellent
resistance to biotypes A and B of Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor
(Say)) conferred by the H6 gene. Caldwell is moderately tolerant to
aluminum in acid soils.
Caldwell averages about 160/hl lower in test weight and kernels
are smaller than Arthur-type cultivars. Caldwell has excellent soft
wheat milling quality and very good baking quality compared to Arthur.
Variety Protection will be applied for under the Plant Variety
Protection Act, Pubic Law 91-577, under the seed certification
required. If granted, the owners further specify that Caldwell may be
sold for seed only by cultivar name. Breeder seed is maintained by
the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn., West Lafayette, IN 47907.

REGISTRATION OF CANAWA WHEAT (Reg. No. 319)
J. A. Clark
CANAWA (W. Va, I-22-1125, C. I. 11854) was developed by selection
at the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, Morgantown, W.
Va. It is the best of 125 plant selections made from Canadian Hybrid,
a mixed commercial wheat grown in that state. The selections were
made in 1921 by R. J. Garber who applied for the registration of
Canawa after testing it in comparison with other selections and
varieties from 1923 to 1935.
Canawa has purple stems, is awnleted, has white glabrous glumes,
and short, soft to semi-hard red kernels. Its superior characters are
high yield, stiff straw, and good (Non-yellow berry) kernels. The new
wheat was first distributed for commercial growing in 1935. The
comparative data upon which registration is based are shown in Table
1.

Registration of Cardinal Wheat (Reg. No. 727).
H. N. Lafever
'CARDINAL', PI 502973, soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum
L.) (Reg. no. 727) was developed and officially released by the Ohio
Agricultural Research and Development Center. The Ohio State
University in 1986. Cardinal was tested prior to release as OH 244 in
state-wide trials in Ohio from 1981 through 1985. Cardinal was also
tested in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery from 1983
through 1985.
Cardinal originated from the complex cross: 'Logan' *2/3/Va 63-
52-12/Logan/2/'Blueboy'. First selected in 1974 as an F3 plant,
Cardinal was reselected in 1981 in the F10 generation. Breeder seed
consisted of the bulked progeny of 39 F10 plants selected for
uniformity and yield in 1981 through 1984 and bulked following 1984
harvest.
Cardinal has apically awnletted, fusiform, upright spikes. The
white, long glumes are glabrous; shoulder is oblique to square and
beaks are obtuse. Kernels are red, ovate with narrow creases and
rounded cheeks. Brush is noncollared and medium in length. Foliage
of Cardinal is blue-green.
Cardinal is a midseason maturity cultivar with an average heading
date in Ohio 2 d later than 'Hart' and 2 d earlier than 'Titan'. It
has moderately short stature averaging 2.5 cm shorter than Hart and
Titan, but 12.5 cm taller than Becker. Cardinal has exhibited
excellent straw strength in Ohio and region-wide tests exceeding all
currently grown cultivars except 'Becker' and GR855'. Winterhardiness
of Cardinal is excellent, equaling that of the best currently grown
cultivars in Ohio tests and exceeding numerous other soft wheat
cultivars except 'Charmony' in severe tests in the upper Midwest.
Cardinal possesses excellent tolerance to Al, often a problem in
eastern U.S. acid soils, being nearly as tolerant as 'Seneca'.
Cardinal possesses excellent resistance to leaf rust (caused by
Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici), but is only
moderately resistant to powdery mildew (caused by Ersiphe graminis DC.
f. sp. tritici E. Marchal). Cardinal is also resistant to wheat
spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSM) and appears highly resistant to
natural infections by loose smut [caused by Ustilago tritici (Pers.)
Rostr.] It also possesses resistance to races GP, A, C, and F of
Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor Say) imparted by the H3 gene.
The USDA-ARS Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, Wooster, OH, has
found Cardinal to possess excellent milling and baking quality.
Cardinal has exceeded the milling and baking quality of Hart, Titan,
and 'Tyler' and is approximately equal to 'Adena' and Becker in tests
of Ohio grown samples.
The yield of Cardinal in 1981 through 1985 trials averaged over
25 tests was 4603 kg ha-1 while Becker, Hart, and Titan averaged 4448,
4253, and 4186 kg ha-1, respectively. In comparative tests in Ohio
with 'Caldwell' over 3 yr of tests totaling 12 location-yr, Cardinal
yielded an average of 3971 kg ha-1 while Caldwell averaged 3823 kg ha-
1. Cardinal was selected primarily for its high-yielding ability and
its strong straw strength, particularly in comparison to such popular
cultivars in Ohio as Caldwell, Hart, and Titan. Cardinal appears to
be a stable cultivar in yield performance and should be well suited to
all production conditions in Ohio and the Midwest.
Foundation seed of Cardinal was first distributed to seedsmen in
the fall of 1986. Application for protection under the Plant Variety
Protection Act, Title V option has been made. Breeder seed will be
maintained by the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center,
The Ohio State University, Wooster, OH 44691.

REGISTRATION OF CHANCELLOR WHEAT (Reg. No. 360)
E. G. Heyne
CHANCELLOR, CI 12333, was developed at the Georgia Agr. Exp. Sta.
at Experiment in cooperation with the Division of Cereal Crops and
Diseases, USDA, and distributed by the Georgia Exp. Sta. in the fall
of 1947. Five varieties occur in the parentage of Chancellor as
follows: (Dietz-Carina X Carina-Mediterranean) X Kansas 1068 (a sister
of Kanred)-Purplestraw3. The last cross was made in 1935 and the
final selection was made in 1946 by U. R. Gore. Application for
registration was made by U. R. Gore.
Chancellor is a soft red winter wheat adapted to the Piedmont and
Mountain areas of Georgia. The variety is similar to Purplestraw in
being early to mature, mid-tall in height, and having a purple stem,
an awnletted fusiform spike, and white glumes. It is more "winterish"
in habit than Purplestraw and has a strong straw that stands well for
combining. It is moderately resistant to leaf rust and resistant to
soil-borne mosaic, but susceptible to powdery mildew. Description of
Chancellor has been published (1). This variety has excellent quality
for crackers, pastry, cookies and family-type flour.
The variety has been tested since 1940 in 8 locations in Georgia
and has been in the uniform southern wheat nursery for a number of
years, where it was tested under the number H1050-12-5-10-3. During
the period 1940-1947, at Experiment, Georgia, Chancellor yielded 28.7
bushels per acre compared to 28.9 for Sanford and 24.9 for
Purplestraw. In the Mountain and Piedmont areas during 1951-53, for
an average of 6 tests, Chancellor yielded 40.9 bushels per acre and
Sanford 37.8. More recent yield data are given in table 4. Since its
release in 1947 it has increased rapidly in acreage grown in parts of
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. In 1957 it was estimated
to comprise 75% of the wheat grown in the Georgia Mountain and
Piedmont areas.

Registration of Clark Wheat (Reg. No. 736).
H. W. Ohm, G. Shaner, J. E. Foster, F. L. Patterson, and G. Buechley
'CLARK' (Reg. no. 736) (PI 512337) is a common soft red winter
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) developed at the Purdue University
Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with USDA-ARS and
released in 1987. The parentage of Clark is: 'Beau'/2/65256A1-1-
1/67137B5-16/4/'Sullivan'/3/'Beau'/2/5517B8-5-3-3/'Logan'. The line
65256A1-8-1 is a selection from the same F3 plant and has
characteristics similar to 'Caldwell'; 67137B5-16 is similar to
'Oasis'; 5517B8-5-3-3 is similar to, but 20 cm shorter than 'Redcoat'.
subsequent to the final cross, Clark was developed by a modified
pedigree method breeding. Plant selections were made in the F2, F4,
and F7 generations. Clark is the progeny from one of 100 head rows
from plant selections made in the F7 generation from its parent line,
77249RC1-133-2. Foundation seed produced in 1988 was the F13
generation. Clark has been tested as the line 77249RC1-133-2-50 in
performance and disease nurseries at Lafayette, IN since 1983, in
Indiana drill plot trials since 1984, in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red
Winter Wheat Nursery in 1986, and in the Four-State (Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio) Regional Nursery in 1987. Soft wheat
quality characteristics of Clark or its parent line have been
evaluated since 1983.
A significant contribution of Clark is its early date of heading,
1 to 2 d earlier than Caldwell, combined with a yield potential
similar to that of Caldwell. Plant height, lodging score, and winter
hardiness of Clark are similar to those of Caldwell. Kernel weight of
Clark averages 34mg compared to an average of 29mg for Caldwell.
Milling and baking characteristics of Clark are acceptable for soft
red winter wheat commercial usage. Clark is adapted to central and
southern Indiana, and nearby states generally to the south of
Lafayette, IN.
A light purple streak is present in the coleoptile of Clark.
Juvenile plant growth is erect. Plant color at the boot stage is
green; anthers are yellow. Color due to anthocyanin is absent in the
stem and auricles, although margins of glumes and rachis internodes of
the spikes may have a tinge of purple under some conditions. Spikes
are lax, tapered, awnleted, and brown at maturity. Glumes are of
medium length and are wide. Glume shoulders are square and glume
beaks are obtuse. Kernel shape is ovate, kernel brush is medium and
not collared. Kernel phenol reaction is fawn. Clark has been uniform
and true breeding during development of Breeder seed, except that 0.2%
of spikes are 10 cm taller than other spikes, but they are otherwise
characteristic of the cultivar.
Clark is resistant to soil-borne mosaic virus, wheat spindle
streak mosaic virus, and to biotypes B and D of the Hessian fly,
Mayetiola destructor (Say). Clark has tolerance to takeall that is
caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis (Sacc.) von Arx & Olivier. It is
moderately resistant in Indiana to Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp.
tritici E. Marchal and Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) Schroeter.
Clark is moderately susceptible to prevalent races of Puccinia
recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici and P. Graminis Pers. f. sp.
tritici Eriks. & Henn in Indiana. It has been free from Ustilago
tritici (Pers.) Rostr. and presumably has resistance derived from
Sullivan.
The generation sequence of seed production will be Breeder,
Foundation, and Certified. Cultivar protection under the Plant
Variety Protection Act, Public Law 91-577, and Title V of the Federal
Seed Act is pending. Breeder seed is maintained by the Purdue
University Agricultural Experiment Station, West Lafayette, In 47907.

REGISTRATION OF COASTAL WHEAT (Reg. No. 396)
E. G. Heyne
COASTAL, CI 12463, is a soft red wheat with semi-spring habit of
growth, distributed by the Coker's Pedigreed Seed Company, Hartsville,
South Carolina, in the fall of 1949. It was selected by G. J. Wilds
and R. S. Cathcart from a cross between Frondoso and a selection from
the cross Redhart 3 X Noll 28 made by J. W. Taylor of the Crops
Research Division, ARS, USDA, about 1937. Segregating F4 material was
furnished to Coker's Pedigreed Seed Company and other cooperators in
the fall of 1940. Noll 28 was a selection from a cross between Hussar
and Forward made at State College, Pennsylvania. During the early
period of testing, Coastal was designated as Coker 45-21. Application
for registration was made by S. J. Hadden.
Coastal is moderately resistant to mildew, leaf rust and stem
rust, but is susceptible to soil-borne mosaic. It is not sufficiently
winter hardy for growing above the Coastal Plain areas of the
southeastern United States. However in its area of adaptation it
produces high yields of grain of satisfactory test weight. Coastal
also is used extensively for early pasturage.
Coastal is relatively late in maturity. The straw is white,
midtall to tall, and is fairly stiff. The spike is awnletted,
fusiform, mid-dense and inclined. The glumes are light brown and
glabrous. The kernels are red, midlong, and soft. The grain of
Coastal averages higher in protein content than most varieties except
the Atlas varieties. A description of Coastal has been published.
Summarized performance data on trials in uniform nurseries in 11
southern states are given in table 5.

REGISTRATION OF COKER 47-27 WHEAT (Reg. No. 397)
E. G. Heyne
COKER 47-27, CI 12563, is a soft red wheat variety with
intermediate growth habit, developed by G. J. Wilds and R. S. Cathcart
of the Coker's Pedigreed Seed Company, Hartsville, South Carolina, and
first distributed in the fall of 1950. Coker 47-27 was selected from
a cross between Fonteira and Hardired made at Hartville in 1939. The
final selection was made in 1944. S. J. Hadden made the application
for registration.
Coker 47-27 has fair resistance to mildew, leaf-rust, and stem
rust but is susceptible to soil-borne mosaic. It is sufficiently
winter hardy for growing in the upper Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont
regions of the southeastern United States but is not recommended for
the higher elevations of the Piedmont nor for the lower Coastal Plain.
Coker 47-27 produces high yields of grain with relatively high test
weight which is of satisfactory quality for the milling of family-type
flour. The variety is used widely for early fall pasturage.
Coker 47-27 is of midseason maturity and is medium-tall. The
straw is white and strong. The spike is awnletted, oblong, middense,
erect. The glumes are white and smooth, and the kernels are red, mid-
long, and soft to semihard. The protein content of Coker 47-27
averages higher than that of Purplestraw and Redhart, but not as high
as that of Coastal and the Atlas varieties. A description of Coker
47-27 has been published. A summary of certain agronomic and disease
reaction data from comparative tests in uniform nurseries in 11
southern states is given in table 5.

G.C. Buechley
COMPTON soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. no.
697) PI 469272 was developed by the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn. in
cooperation with USDA-ARS and released in 1983. 'Compton', whose
experimental designation was P6728A3-22-4-2-1-2, has a complex
parentage consisting of germplasm enhanced for resistance to disease
and Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), developed over a 40-year
period. The parentage is 'Fulhio'/'Purkof'/3/'Trumbull'/2/'Hope'

Following the last cross, Compton was developed by a modified
pedigree method of breeding. Individual plants were selected in the
F2, F4, F5, F7 and F11 generations. The F15 generation seed from 78
of 100 head rows from single spike selection in F14 was composited for
the production of breeder seed. The 78 progeny rows were selected for
uniformity of plant type and resistance to disease.
Compton was tested for performance in advanced nursery yield
trials for 4 years, 1980 to 1983; in intra-state field plots for 3
years, 1981 to 1983; and in the regional Uniform Eastern Soft Red
Winter Wheat Performance Nurseries for 2 years, 1982 to 1983. It was
consistently in the top-yielding group of cultivars, including
'Caldwell' and 'Auburn'. It has been tested in disease nurseries and
for reaction tot he Hessian fly since 1978. Compton has been tested
for soft wheat milling and baking qualities since 1979.
Compton is about 3 days later in heading and about 7 cm shorter
than 'Arthur'. Winterhardiness is similar to Arthur. The spike is
mid-dense, oblong, awnletted, and brown at maturity. Glumes are mid-
long and mid-wide, with rounded shoulders and obtuse beaks. Kernels
are red and ovate with a narrow and shallow crease. Milling and
baking characteristics are acceptable for soft red winter wheat
commercial usage.
Compton has adult-plant resistance to Mycosphaerella graminicola
(Fuckel) Schroeter, which causes septoria tritici blotch, and to
naturally occurring races of Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal in Indiana. It has both seedling and adult-plant resistance
to Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici naturally occurring
in Indiana. Compton has both seedling and adult-plant resistance to
some races of Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.
Compton has moderate resistance to the soil-borne mosaic virus.
It is moderately resistant to the wheat spindle streak mosaic soil-
borne virus; and to the aphid-borne barley yellow dwarf virus in
Indiana. Compton has the H6 gene for resistance to Hessian fly which
provides resistance to biotypes GP, A, and B. Compton is adapted to
Indiana and to areas of the Eastern Soft Wheat Region where its
disease and Hessian fly resistances are effective.
Variety protection was applied for under the Plant Variety
Protection Act, Public Law 91-577, in conjunction with Title V of the
Federal Seed Act. If granted, Compton may be sold for seed only as a
class of certified seed and must be labeled as a protected variety.
The owners further specify that Compton may be sold for seed only by
variety name. Breeder seed is maintained by the Purdue Univ. Agric.
Exp. Stn., West Lafayette, IN 47907.

REGISTRATION OF DENTON WHEAT (Reg. No. 255)
J. A. Clark
DENTON (Tex. No. 9236; C. I. No. 8265) was developed by the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station at Substation No. 6, Denton, Texas, as
a pure-line selection from Mediterranean. The selection was made in
1918 at which time A. H. Leidigh was agronomist and C. H. McDowell was
superintendent of Substation No. 6. P. B. Dunkle has been
superintendent since 1922 and applied for the registration of Denton
wheat. The variety was distributed for commercial growing in Texas in
1926. Denton (Mediterranean No. 66) is the best of more than 500
pure-line selections of Mediterranean tested since 1920. In addition
to its high yields it is resistant to leaf rust and has stronger stems
than Mediterranean. It has been grown in replicated nursery, and plat
experiments at Substation No. 6 for six years. The yields obtained
during the four years, 1923 to 1926, are as follows:

Registration of Doublecrop Wheat (Reg. No. 602).
F. C. Collins and J. P. Jones
'DOUBLECROP' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) is a soft
red winter wheat cultivar released by the Arkansas Agricultural
Experiment Station in 1975. Doublecrop was tested initially as
Arthur-6 and Ark. Early Arthur Sel; later it was assigned CI 17349.
Doublecrop is a pure line selection from 'Arthur'. The selection
was made in 1970 from one of several plant rows of Arthur which were
being grown for the development of homozygous lines for a genetic
study. This particular plant row was markedly earlier than the other
plant rows of Arthur. Because there was a distinct need for earlier
maturing wheat cultivars in Arkansas for the practice of
doublecropping with soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr.), the selection was
increased and placed in yield trials in 1972. It was entered into the
state varietal tests in 1973 and into the Uniform Eastern Soft Red
Winter Wheat and Uniform Southern Soft Wheat Nurseries in 1974.
Doublecrop closely resembles Arthur for most characteristics;
however, it differs from Arthur by being about 4 days earlier in
maturity when grown in Northeast Arkansas. The heads are more
awnletted than Arthur. Doublecrop plants exhibit adult resistance to
leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Dem. F. sp. tritici) under field
conditions whereas the seedling reaction is the same as that of
Arthur. In addition, the peduncle color at anthesis is blue-green for
Doublecrop while Arthur peduncles are more of a green color. Kernel
properties and milling and baking qualities of Doublecrop are similar
to those of Arthur. The test weight of Doublecrop seed has been
slightly heavier than that of Arthur.
Although Doublecrop has been equal to Arthur for yield in
Arkansas, its area of adaptation appears to be somewhat limited.
Since planting in early fall may cause Doublecrop to head early enough
in the spring to be damaged by late frosts, its use is recommended for
late plantings, such as following soybeans and cotton.
Breeder seed of Doublecrop will be maintained by the Arkansas
Agricultural Experiment Station. Plant variety protection will not be
sought.

Registration of Downy Wheat (Reg. No. 641).
J. J. Roberts, R. L. Gallun, F. L. Patterson, R. E. Finney, H. W. Ohm,
and G. E. Shaner
'DOWNY' (CI17421) is a soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum
L. em Thell.) developed cooperatively by the Purdue University
Agricultural Experiment Station and the AR-SEA-USDA, and released in
1976. Its parentage is: 'Abe' sib/3/'Arthur 71' sib/2/CI9321/'Beau'
sib. It is the first commercial soft red winter wheat cultivar with
resistance to the cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus L.) and was
developed for this purpose. Downy's resistance is due to the dense
leaf pubescence obtained from its CI9321 parent, a spring wheat
introduction from USSR. the pubescence on the flag leaves of Downy
averages 100 hairs/mm, compared to only 30/mm for Arthur 71. This
pubescence density and lengths of hairs are sufficient to provide
Downy with a high level of resistance to the cereal leaf beetle.
Additionally, this type of pubescence has been shown to be somewhat
effective in resistance to the Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor Say)
and the oat bird cherry aphid (Rhopalosiphym padi L.).
Downy was selected in the F1 generation for leaf pubescence and
in the F2 generation for freedom from cereal leaf beetle damage. It
was tested again in the F3, F4, and F5 generations under severe beetle
infestation. A series of selections was made from the F5 generation
for eventual compositing to form breeder seed which was in the F7
generation.
Downy most nearly resembles Arthur 71 in plant type and grain
productivity. It averages 93 cm tall and has erect flag leaves at
heading. The spikes are lax, strap-shaped, apically awnletted and
yellow at maturity. Downy's seed is red, ovate in shape, and with
rounded cheeks. Average weight per 1,000 kernels is 30 g. All leaves
and leaf sheaths are densely pubescent.
Downy possesses the H-5 gene for resistance to Hessian fly,
giving it protection against all field biotypes of the insect now
present in Indiana. It is similar to Arthur in resistance to leaf
rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici),
stem rust (caused by Puccinia grammis Pers. f. sp. tritici), powdery
mildew [caused by Erysiphe grammis (DC.) Merat f. sp tritici Em.
Marchal], and loose smut ([caused by Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.],
with moderate resistance to all four pathogens under field conditions.
Downy is adapted to the eastern soft red winter wheat region and
is particularly suitable for those areas having cereal leaf beetle
problems. Downy is of acceptable soft wheat milling and baking
quality.
Breeder seed will be maintained by Purdue University's
Agricultural Experiment Station, West Lafayette, IN 47907. Variety
protection has been applied for under the Plant Variety Protection
Act, Public Law 91-577, in accordance with the certified seed option.

REGISTRATION OF DUAL WHEAT (Reg. No. 354)
E. G. Heyne
DUAL, CI 13083, is a soft red winter wheat developed by the
Purdue University Agr. Exp. Sta. and the Crops Research Division, ARS,
USDA, and distributed by Purdue University in 1955. Application for
registration was made by Ralph M. Caldwell, W. B. Cartwright, Leroy E.
Compton, John F. Schafer and Fred L. Patterson. The name Dual was
chosen to indicate a dual-purpose capacity of the variety. It is the
first variety adapted to the eastern soft wheat region that is
resistant to Hessian fly (4). It can be seeded before the fly-free
date and used both for pasture and as a grain crop.
Dual possesses characteristics from 8 of the original varieties
that were combined in a series of 7 crosses (figure 1). The first
cross was made in 1923 and the last one in 1940. The final selection
resulting in Dual was made in the F8 generation in 1948. It is high
yielding in all regions of Indiana. It has excellent soft wheat
quality but is lower in test weight than the other varieties
recommended in Indiana. Dual is a mid-season, beardless, white-
chaffed variety. It is 3 to 4 inches taller than Knox and Vermillion
but shorter than the standard varieties grown in Indiana. It has
stiff straw and good winter-hardiness, being excelled only by
Vermillion. Dual has adult-plant resistance to leaf rust (6) and
powdery mildew and resistance to soil-borne mosaic. It is moderately
susceptible to stem rust. Data on these characteristics are given in
tables 2 and 3. Dual is susceptible to loose smut, bunt and Septoria
leaf blotch diseases.
Dual is well adapted to all regions in Indiana and in the soft
wheat region from Illinois to New Jersey. An estimated 35,000 acres
were grown in Indiana in 1957, 40,000 acres in Illinois, and smaller
acreages in several other states.

Registration of Dynasty Wheat (Reg. No. 742).
H. N. Lafever
'DYNASTY', PI506409, soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Reg. no. 742) was developed and officially released by the Ohio
Agricultural Research and Development Center, The Ohio State
University, in 1987. Dynasty was tested prior to release as OH265 in
state-wide trials in Ohio from 1982 through 1986. Dynasty was also
tested in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery in 1986
and 1987.
Dynasty originated from the complex cross: B.E.1-
5/'Logan'/2/'Arthur'/3/N.Y.572aB-3B-23/TN1403. B.E.1-5, N.Y. 5726aB-
3B-23, and TN1403 are experimental lines from Punjab Agricultural
University, New York Agricultural Experiment Station, and the Ohio
Agricultural Research and Development Center, respectively, which were
never released as cultivars. First selected in 1973 as an F3 plant,
Dynasty was reselected in 1974 as a single F4 plant and again in 1976
as an F6 plant. Breeder seed consists of the progeny of 46 plants
reselected for uniform appearance in the F11 generation in 1981.
Progeny of these 46 plants were increased and examined for uniformity
and yield in 1982 through 1985, then bulked for use in producing
breeder seed in 1986.
Dynasty is an awned cultivar with fusiform, upright spikes with
white chaff. Glumes are long, medium wide, with oblique to square
shoulders and acuminate beaks. Kernels are ovate and red with a
noncollared long brush. Phenol reaction is black. Coleoptile color is
white and seedlings exhibit no anthocyanin. Plant color at boot stage
is green while anther color at anthesis is yellow. Spike color at
heading is yellow-green and spikes are mid-dense to dense.
Dynasty is of medium height, has medium early maturity and high
test wet. Winterhardiness of Dynasty was excellent, slightly
exceeding 'Becker', 'Cardinal', and 'Titan' in 35 Ohio tests from 1982
through 1987. Dynasty is 3 cm shorter, 1 d earlier and 3.9 kg m-3
heavier in test wet. than Cardinal in these same tests.
Dynasty is moderately tolerant to acid soil conditions; rating
about the same as Becker, but inferior to Cardinal in this regard. It
is highly resistant to natural infections of loose smut [caused by
Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.] and possesses very good resistance to
current field races of leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob.
ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici). It is also very resistant to wheat spindle
streak mosaic virus (WSSM) and moderately resistant to powdery mildew
(caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E. Marchal). It is
susceptible to currently prevalent races of Hessian fly (Mayetiola
destructor Say).
Soft wheat milling quality of Dynasty is excellent while baking
quality is rated as good. It ranked fifth in the 1986 Uniform Eastern
Nursery in overall milling and baking quality among 32 entries.
Grain yields of Dynasty, Becker, Cardinal, and Titan averaged
over 35 location-years (1982=1987) in Ohio were 4425, 4378, 4445, and
4075 kg ha-1, respectively; while percent lodging at maturity in these
tests averaged 6%, 3%, 5%, and 17%, respectively. In comparative
tests with 'Caldwell' in Ohio over 16 location-years (1982, 1986,
1987) Dynasty yielded an average of 4250 kg ha-1 and Caldwell averaged
3907 kg ha-1, while lodging at maturity averaged 11% for Dynasty and
24% for Caldwell.
Dynasty was selected for its high yielding ability and its strong
straw strength particularly in comparison to currently popular
cultivars Caldwell and Titan. Dynasty appears to be a stable cultivar
in yield performance under a wide range of production conditions.
Foundation seed of Dynasty was first distributed to seedsmen in
the fall of 1987. Application for protection under the Plant Variety
Protection Act, Title V option has been made. Breeder seed will be
maintained by the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center,
The Ohio State university, Wooster, OH 44691.

REGISTRATION FOR FAIRFIELD WHEAT (Reg. No. 332)
J. A. Clark
FAIRFIELD (Purdue No. 6, C. I. 12013) was developed by the
Agronomy Department of the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station from
a cross between the Purkof and Fulhio varieties made in 1926. The
strain resulting in Fairfield was last selected in 1932. Yield and
other results from the Soils and Crops Experiment Farm, Lafayette,
Ind., for the 9 years, 1933 to 1941, for 6 years at the Wagner farm
Chandler, Ind., and for 2 years at seven locations in the State are
available.
These data indicate that Fairfield excels with regard to yield
and resistance to cold and winterkilling and to loose smut and mosaic.
Special attention has been given to quality throughout the period of
selection and testing. Three tests, viz., (1) the fermentation time
test, (2) the granulation test for flour particle size, and (3) the
photoelectric cell test for yellow pigment were made in Indiana.
Experimental milling and baking tests were made by the Federal Soft
Wheat Laboratory, Wooster, Ohio, and by two large commercial mills in
Indiana, with satisfactory results. Fairfield was distributed for
commercial production in the fall of 1942.

Registration of Fillmore Wheat (Reg. No. 692).
F.L. Patterson, H.W. Ohm, G. E. Shaner, R.E. Finney, R.L. Gallun, J.J.
Roberts, and J.E. Foster
'FILLMORE' soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. no.
692) PI 469272 was developed by the Purdue University Agricultural
Experiment Station in cooperation with USDA-ARS and released in 1982.
Fillmore resulted from the cross P5724B3-5P-8-2*2/'Siete Cerros'.
P5724B3-5P-8-2 and 'Benhur' were derived from the same cross.
Fillmore and 'Caldwell' were selected from progeny of the same
backcross F1 plant.
Following the backcross, Fillmore was developed by the modified
pedigree method of breeding with plant selections made in the F1, F2,
and F8 generations. In 1978 in the F13 generation of selfing, 98 of
100 individual plant progeny rows, judged uniform and similar, were
composited. Breeder seed in 1981 was in the F16 generation of self-
pollination.
Fillmore was evaluated as IN65256A1-9-7 for performance in
nursery trials for 5 years, 1976 to 1981; in intrastate field plot
trials for 3 years, 1979 to 1981; and in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red
Winter Wheat Performance Nursery for 2 years, 1980 to 1981. Fillmore
appears adapted to the norther half of the eastern soft wheat area.
Commercial soft wheat quality was rated good by tests of the Soft
Wheat Laboratory, Wooster, OH, 1976 to 1980.
Fillmore is about 6 days later in heading and about 7 cm taller
than 'Arthur'. It has a moderate level of winterhardiness like
Caldwell. The spike is lax, oblong, apically awnleted, and yellow at
maturity. Glumes are midlong and midwide, with rounded shoulders and
obtuse beaks. Kernels are red and ovate with a narrow and shallow
crease.
Fillmore has adult plant resistance to septoria tritici blotch,
incited by Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) Schroeter; to powdery
mildew caused by races of Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal occurring in India; to leaf rust caused by Puccinia recondita
Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici naturally occurring in Indiana; and to
some races of Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.
Fillmore is intermediate in reaction to the soil-borne mosaic
virus; moderately susceptible to the wheat spindle streak mosaic soil-
borne virus; and moderately resistant to the aphid-borne barley yellow
dwarf virus in Indiana.
Fillmore has the H6 gene for resistance to Hessian fly, Mayetiola

Registration of Florida 301 Wheat (Reg. No. 643).
R. D. Barnett and H. H. Luke
'FLORIDA 301' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell), CI 17769, is a
soft red winter wheat developed by the Univ. of Florida at the
Agricultural Research and Education Center at Quincy in cooperation
with AR-SEA-USDA and released in 1980.
Florida 301 was selected from a cross made in 1971 between
'Holley' and a Florida line 709RB3. The 709RB3 parent was an F1 of
the cross between 'Olesen' and the Purdue Univ. line 64212A3-23.
Olesen (CI 14497) is a short-statured, spring wheat developed in
Rhodesia from a combination of crosses involving 'Norin 10,' 'Mara,'
and an Angolan line, X2-50. The Purdue line 64212A3-23 originated
from a cross between 'Arthur' and WS20, a large seeded selection from
Portugal. Florida 301 was tested as FL7100A-29-3-109 and has the
pedigree Holley/3/Olesen/2/Arthur/WS20. Head selections were made in
the F5 generation and Florida 301 was identified as a single head row
in the F6 generation. A seed increase was made at Tetonia, Idaho,
during the summer of 1979 and approximately 1,500 bushels were
distributed to certified seed growers during the fall of 1980.
When grown under north Florida conditions, Florida 301 closely
resembles the Holley parent in maturity, plant height, straw strength,
and general appearance. It produces higher yields, has more tillers,
and is more disease resistant than Holley. In tests conducted at the
USDa Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, Florida 301 was fair in general
quality, similar to Holley, 'McNair 1813,' 'Oasis,' and 'Doublecrop'
cvs. It has a harder kernel texture and higher alkaline water
retention capacity than 'Rosen' or 'Blueboy' cvs., and makes smaller
cookies than higher quality cultivars.
Florida 301 is very early maturing and normally produces grain
with high test weight. It is resistant to the prevalent races of leaf
rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm.) and powdery mildew
(caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. ex. Merat f. sp. tritici) common to
the North Florida area, but is susceptible to Septoria glume blotch
(caused by Septoria nodorum Berk.) and Hessian fly (Mayetiola
destructor say). This new cultivar performs well in late plantings
and in double cropping systems. It is not very winter hardy and is
not adapted for growth north of the Coastal Plain region. It has a
low vernalization requirements, and begins jointing after a small
amount of cold weather.
The morphological characteristics of Florida 301 are as follows:
winter growth habit, early season, midtall; stems white, midstrong;
spikes awnleted, fusiform, middense, inclined; glumes glabrous,
midlong, wide; shoulders rounded to square, beaks midwide, obtuse,
less than 0.5 mm long; awnlets white 2 to 40 mm long; kernels red,
short to midlong, ovate, soft to medium hard; germ midsized; crease
midwide, and cheeks rounded; brush midsized; midlong.
Breeders seed will be maintained by the Univ. of Florida at the
Agricultural Research and Education Center, Route 3, Box 638, Quincy,
FL 32351. Foundation seed will be available from the Florida
Foundation Seed Producers, Inc., P.O. Box 309, Greenwood, FL 32443.
Application has been made to the Plant Variety Protection Office for
protection of Florida 301 to be sold only as a class of certified
seed.

REGISTRATION OF FRISCO WHEAT (Reg. No. 350)
F. N. Briggs
FRISCO wheat (CI 13106, selection 131-46-3) was originated at the
Denton Substation of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in
cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The variety was
developed from the cross (Fronteira X Red May) X Red May. The Red May
parent was a local strain grown in the Dallas area of North Central
Texas for more than 100 years. The cross and selection were made by
I. M. Atkins.
Frisco is an early maturing, soft red winter wheat similar in
milling and baking characteristics to the Red May wheat that has been
used in producing family-type flour in the North Central Texas area
for many years. The variety is superior to the old local strain in
resistance to leaf and stem rust. It is not resistant to stem rust
race 15B and some other races that recently have become important.
The new variety is recommended for a rather limited area in North
Central Texas. Yields of Fresco in comparison with other commercial
varieties at several Texas stations are given in table 2.

Registration of Fulcaster 612 Wheat (Reg. No. 410).
Edward L. Smith
FULCASTER 612, CI 13715, (Tenn. 612) is a soft red winter wheat
developed by the Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station. It was
distributed in 1940.
According to C. D. Sherbakoff, who developed the variety,
Fulcaster 612 resulted from a pure line selection from a field of
bearded wheat (presumably Fulcaster, CI 4862) that had been grown for
a number of years on a farm in Dyer County, Tenn. The selection was
made in 1929.
For a number of years Fulcaster 612 was grown extensively in
Tennessee and to some extent in surrounding states. At the present
time this variety is being grown to a limited extent in Tennessee.
Fulcaster 612 is midseason in maturity, tall in height; the stems
are purple and midweak; the spike is awned, fusiform, and lax; the
glumes are white; and the kernels are soft and red. Fulcaster 612
differs from Fulcaster only in its greater uniformity in appearance
and in its consistently higher yielding capacity.

REGISTRATION OF FULHIO WHEAT (Reg. No. 231)
J. A. Clark
FULHIO (Ohio No.127, C. I. No. 6999) was developed at the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station, as a pure-line selection from Fultz.
The selection was made at Wooster, Ohio, in 1912, by C. G. Williams,
of the Department of Agronomy. Robt. M. Salter applied for its
registration. The variety has been commercially grown in Ohio for
several years. It is similar to Fultz except that the spikes are more
erect. The suggested place in the present classification is between
Flint (Reg. No. 47) and Fultz (Reg. No. 48). The superior characters
of Fulhio are high yield, good tillering capacity, winter hardiness,
fairly stiff straw, and somewhat greater resistance to loose smut than
that of Fultz. It has been grown experimentally for 13 years at
Wooster, Ohio, and at 13 other points in Ohio, beginning with nursery
rows and later in 1/10th acre plots. The plat yields at Wooster for
the five years, 1920 to 1945, inclusive, in comparison with Fultz, are
as follows:

Registration of Fulton Wheat (Reg. No. 452).
C. A. Lamb, Howard N. Lafever, and Lewis C. Saboe.
'FULTON' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) CI No. 13358, is
a soft red winter wheat selected from a bulk hybrid in the F5
generation from the cross 'Butler' X 'Thorne'. It was developed at
the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center and named and
released in 1964.
Fulton is a midtall, midseason-maturity variety with strong
purple stems. Auricles are white with hairs sparce. It is awnless
except extreme apical awns 10-15 mm. Spike is fusiform, middense,
erect to inclined. Glumes are glabrous, white, midlong, midwide with
shoulder midwide, square to elevated; beak midwide, obtuse, 1-2 mm
range. Kernel is red, midlong, chalky and elliptical. Germ is large.
Fulton is adapted to Ohio and immediate vicinity. The variety
withstands the heaving type of winter injury very well. It has been
higher in yield over a 9-year period, with 72 tests, than other
commercial varieties in Ohio (Table 1).
Milling and baking qualities are excellent. Fulton shows
immunity to loose smut races presently in Ohio. It is similar in
maturity and height to Seneca.

Registration of W-504 Wheat (Reg. No. 564).
Koy E. Miskin
'W-504' soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell),
CI 17351, was developed by Funk Seeds Int., a company of CIBA-GEIGY
Corp. and released in 1974. W-504 is adapted to the soft red winter
wheat areas of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri. It was selected
in 1968 as an F2 plant from a composite cross obtained from Colo.
State Univ. Pedigrees included in the cross are not know. It was
advanced through the pedigree breeding system and evaluated in private
performance nurseries from 1970 to 1974 and in the Uniform Eastern
Soft Wheat Nurseries in 1973 and 1974.
W-504 is early maturing and has good winterhardiness. The culms
are white and midstrong with solid nodes and hollow internodes.
Height is short to midtall being about 4-cm taller than 'Arthur.'
Waxy bloom and pubescence are not present. The spike at heading is
light green in color. The spike is dense, fusiform, apically
awnletted, and white at maturity. The spike position ranges from
erect to inclined. Glumes are short and narrow with rounded shoulders
and obtuse beak.
The kernel is oval, dark red, and has rounded cheeks and medium
germ size. Brush is medium and not collared. Crease is midwide and
middeep. The milling and baking quality of W-504 satisfactorily meets
the standards for soft red winter wheat.
W-504 is resistant to stem rust races common to the soft wheat
region and although it has a susceptible reaction to leaf rust, it is
not usually seriously infected in the field. W-504 shows resistance
to Wheat Spindle Streak virus, Hessian fly race E, and Soil-borne
mosaic virus. Studies in South Dakota have shown W-504 to have
resistance to Barley Yellow Dwarf virus showing considerably less
damage than 'Blueboy,' 'Abe,' and 'Knox 62.'
Funk Seeds Int., will be the sole source of registered seed of W-
504. United States Variety Protection has been applied for.

Registration of GR855 Wheat (Reg. No. 729).
H. N. Lafever
'GR855', PI 508286, is a soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum
L.) (Reg. no. 729) developed by the Ohio Agricultural Research and
Development Center and officially released in 1985. This cultivar has
been licensed to the Agricultural Genetic Research Association (AGRA),
with this organization granted exclusive rights to sublicense,
produce, promote, and market the cultivar. However, ownership of
GR855 has been retained by the Ohio Agricultural Research and
Development Center, The Ohio State University,. GR855 was tested
prior to release as OH 235 in state-wide trials in Ohio from 1980
through 1984 and in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery
from 1981 through 1984. GR855 was selected for release primarily due
to its superior yield record in comparison to currently popular
'Titan', 'Hart', and 'Cardinal', and its excellent lodging resistance.
GR855 is a selection from the cross of Hart/Va 66-54-10. Va 66-
54-10 is an experimental line from the Virginia Agricultural
Experiment Station. GR855 was first selected in 1975 as an F3 plant
and reselected in F7 in 1979. Breeder seed consisted of the bulked
progeny of 17 F7 plants. GR855 is a sister line of 'Becker', but is 2
d earlier in maturity. GR855 also differs from Becker in disease
resistance and glume characteristics.
GR855 is an extremely short, early maturing cultivar with
excellent winterhardiness under Ohio conditions. It averaged the same
height (81 cm), 2 d earlier, and 1% higher winter survival than Becker
in 30 tests in Ohio from 1980 through 1984.
GR855 has apically awnletted, fusiform, upright spikes with white
glumes. Glumes are short, medium-wide to wide with rounded to square
shoulders and obtuse beaks. Kernels are ovate and red with a medium-
length noncollared brush. Coleoptile color is purple, but seedlings
typically exhibit no anthocyanin. Plant color is blue-green at boot
stage while anther color at anthesis is yellow.
GR855 is only moderately tolerant to acid soil conditions. It is
highly resistant to natural infections of loose smut [caused by
Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.], but susceptible to field races of
leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp.
tritici). GR855 is resistant to powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe
graminis DG. f. sp. tritici E. Marchal) and to wheat spindle streak
mosaic virus (WSSM). GR855 possesses the H3 gene for resistance to
races GP, A, C, and F of Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor Say).
GR855 was found to possess excellent soft wheat milling and
baking qualities in evaluations by the USDA-ARS Soft Wheat Quality,
Wooster, OH. It ranked 12th among 32 entries in the 1982 Uniform
Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery and 12th among 34 entries in
1983.
Grain yields of GR855, Becker, Hart, and Titan averaged over 5 yr
of tests (198-1984) totaling 30 location-yr in Ohio are 3924, 3964,
3901, and 3816 kg ha-1, respectively. In comparative tests in Ohio
with 'Caldwell', only six trials in 2 yr contained these two cultivars
in which GR855 averaged 4085 kg ha-1 while Caldwell yielded 4018 kg
ha-1. GR855 has been found to be particularly well suited for
production under high fertility conditions due to its excellent straw
strength. Foliar diseases, especially leaf rust, should be closely
monitored under high fertility conditions, due to GR855's
susceptibility to this disease.
Foundation seed of G$855 was first distributed to AGRA members in
the fall of 1985. Protection has been applied for under the Plant
Variety Protection Act (Application no. 8600153) in accordance with
the certified seed option; specifying that GR855 may be sold by
cultivar name only as a class of certified seed. Only foundation and
certified classes of seed are permitted beyond breeder seed. Breeder
seed will be maintained by the Ohio Agricultural Research and
Development Center, The Ohio State University, Wooster, OH 44691.

REGISTRATION OF GASTA WHEAT (Reg. No. 268)
J. A. Clark
GASTA (Ga. No. P 303, C. I. No. 11398) was produced as a pure-
line selection from Purplestraw at the Georgia Agricultural Experiment
Station, Experiment, Georgia. The selection was made in 1921 and the
new variety has been in nursery experiments (six series, three rod
rows, center row cut for yield) since 1924. It is similar to
Purplestraw except for having a higher yield and resistant in field
tests to strains of loose smut present at Experiment, Ga. About 100
bushels of this wheat were distributed to farmers in the state this
fall and it is being further increased for a larger distribution next
year. The yields from the experiments, furnished by R. P. Bledsoe,
the breeder and applicant, are given in Table 1.

Registration of Georgia 100 Wheat (Reg. No. CV-756).
J. W. Johnson,* B. M. Cunfer, P. L. Bruckner, J. J. Roberts, P. L.
Raymer, and G. D. Buntin
'GEORGIA 100' (Reg. no. CV-756, PI 538257), a soft red winter
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), was developed at the University of
Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the USDA-
ARS and released in December 1988. Georgia 100 was derived from a
four-way cross: 'Omega 78' / 'Stacy' /2/ Stacy / 'Tyler'. It was
named to honor the centennial celebration of the Georgia Agricultural
Experiment Station. After the last cross, Georgia 100 was developed
using a modified pedigree method of breeding. Individual spike
selections were made in the F2, F3, F4, and F5 generations at Plains,
GA. Georgia 100 is the progeny of a single row selected from 100 head
rows in the F7 generation. Georgia 100 was performance tested as GA
801310 in nursery plots in 1986, state trials at six locations in 1987
and 1988, and in the Uniform Southern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery in
1988 and 1989.
Georgia 100 is a midseason, semidwarf, stiff-strawed, white-
chaffed, apically awnletted cultivar with high yield potential. In
evaluation during 3 yr (6 locations yr-1) in Georgia, Georgia 100,
'Florida 302', and 'Coker 983' yielded an average of 4092, 459, and
3775 kg ha-1, respectively. It is 5 d earlier in maturity than
Florida 302 and similar to Coker 983 in lodging resistance. Georgia
100 is similar to Florida 302 in grain volume weight and grain yield.
Milling and baking quality characteristics of Georgia 100 are rated
acceptable for soft red winter wheat use.
The spikes are middense, oblong, and erect. The glumes are
glabrous, midwide, and short with square and midwide shoulder and
acute beaks. Kernels are red, short and ovate with a small germ; the
kernel brush is short and large, and the kernel crease is narrow and
deep.
In Georgia, Georgia 100 possesses excellent resistance to the
locally predominant biotypes E, G, M. and O of Hessian fly [Mayetiola
destructor (Say)] and moderate resistance to current races of leaf
rust caused by Puccinia recondita (Roberge ex Desmaz.) and stem rust
caused by P. graminis (Pers.:Pers.) f. sp. tritici (Eriks. & E.
Henn.), and moderate resistance to powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe

Registration of Georgia 1123 Wheat (Reg. No. 414).
U. R. Gore
GEORGIA 1123, CI 13292, is a soft red winter wheat developed by
the Georgia Experiment Station and released in Georgia in 1961.
Georgia 1123 was selected from F6 bulk hybrid material received
in 1948 from the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA. The parentage of
Georgia 1123 is (W38-Illinois 1-Hope) X Purplestraw-Thatcher-Leap X
(Trumbull-Red Wonder X Steinweidel X Triticum timopheevi) X
Chancellor. Several selections made in 1959 were tested for Hessian
fly resistance by the Entomology Division, ARS, USDA. The line
designated FW 1123-x-37, later named Georgia 1123, was found to be
resistant.
The yield performance of wheat varieties at Experiment and
Tifton, Ga., for the years 1958 through 1962 are shown in Table 1.
Yields obtained by many growers have exceeded plot yields in several
areas. Additional information on Georgia 1123 has been published.
Plants of the variety exhibit winter habit of growth and mature
very early; the spikes are awnletted, fusiform, mid-dense, inclined;
the glumes are glabrous, white, midlong to long, midwide, the
shoulders are narrow, oblique to square; the beaks are midwide,
obtuse, less than 0.5 mm. long; the awnlets are white, 2 to 20 mm.
long. Georgia 1123 wheat has short to midtall, strong straw, and
stands well. The heads turn down when ripe and operators report that
it combines best of any variety they have grown. The variety does not
shatter easily or sprout in the head under field conditions. It is 4
to 8 inches shorter than Bledsoe.
Georgia 1123 is resistant to all leaf rust races prevalent in the
Southeast at time of release, is resistant to soil-borne mosaic, and
is moderately susceptible to mildew. It is highly resistant to
Hessian fly. When released, this wheat showed a few off-type tall or
late plants and some with awns. However, this in no way affects the
yield or fly resistance of this wheat. Head selections made in 1961
have eliminated this variability.
Kernels are red, short to midlong, soft ovate; germ is midsized
to large; crease is midwide, shallow; cheeks are rounded to angular,
brush is midsized and long. In tests conducted at the Soft Wheat
Quality Laboratory, Wooster, Ohio, from nursery samples, Georgia 1123
was slightly higher in protein and viscosity than Chancellor. It is
suitable for use in production of general purpose (family) flour and,
when low in protein, for pastry flour.

Registration of Hart Wheat (Reg. No. 590).
Dale Sechler, J. M. Poehlman, and R. P. Pfiefer
'HART', CI 17426, is a soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum
L. em Thell.) developed and released jointly by the Missouri and
Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Stations in 1976. It originated
as a single plant selection made from an F7 bulk population of the
cross 'Etoile de Chosy'/2/'Thorne'/'Clarkan'/3/'Pawnee'/CI 12454 and
was tested in state and regional trials as Missouri Selection W7901.
Mo. W7901 was first grown in the Uniform Eastern Soft Wheat Nursery in
1971-72.
Hart is similar to 'Stoddard' in vegetative growth habit, and
winterhardiness. The straw is short, stiff, and light in color.
Spikes are medium lax, tapered, rough-awned, and relatively white at
maturity. Glumes are medium wide and narrow at the shoulder and the
beak is mid-long. Kernels are soft in texture and red in color.
Although Hart originated as an F7 plant selection, variability
was present within the strain. From 1,000 progeny rows of spike
selections made in the F15 generation, 800 rows similar in appearance
were harvested and composited to start the breeder seed increase.
Some observable genetic variability still exists in Hart. Height is
slightly variable (up to three head lengths deviation from the average
of the field is allowed). Awns are variable (5 to 7 cm most frequent)
in length but may be environmentally reduced further in the lower
spikelets or in the central florets of the spikelet. For the
irregular character of awnless, awnletted, and tall, awned types, Hart
may contain a maximum of the sum of these types of 1.0% for the
foundation seed class, 1.5% for the registered seed class, and 3.0%
for the certified seed class. A tall, awned plant has its spike more
than three head lengths above the average head height of the field.
Genetic characters not observed in the selection process, such as
coleoptile color, may not be uniformly expressed. Further selection
within the cultivar, or production in different environments, may
alter the frequency of such characters within the population.
Compared to 'Arthur', Hart has yielded 10% more in Missouri and
15% more in Pennsylvania, had less lodging, slightly lower test
weight, and was about 2 days later in maturity. In Missouri Hart is
more tolerant to glume blotch and in Pennsylvania more tolerant to
wheat spindle streak than Arthur.
Soft wheat quality tests indicate that milling and baking quality
of Hart is acceptable when grown in areas where it is adapted.
Breeder seed of Hart will be maintained by the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station, Columbia, MO 65201.

Registration of Hillsdale Wheat (Reg. No. 710).
R.D. Freed, E.H. Everson, P.K. Zwer, L.W. Morrison, D.J. Glenn, B.L.
Marchetti, D.W. Fullbright, J.L. Clayton, and R.L. Clements
'HILLSDALE', (PI498686) a soft red winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) (Reg. no. 710) developed at the Michigan State University
Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with USDA-ARS, was
released in 1983. It was tested in Michigan and regionally as B6310
and MO295. It was named for the city of Hillsdale, the site of one of
the early grist mills in Michigan and a milling center since 1837.
Hillsdale was released because of its excellent powdery mildew
resistance (caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal), broad adaptation, excellent agronomic performance, and
milling and baking quality.
Hillsdale was a F5 selection made in 1976 from the cross
'Asosan'/'Genesee*4'/2/VA66-54-10. Dr. T. M. Starling (1982, personal
communication) reported that the parentage of VA 66-54-10 is Purdue
F4126A9-n32-2/5/'Valart'/'Frondosa'/2/Vahart/CI12658/3/Asosan/4/'Norin
10'/'Brevor'.
Pedigree selections for powdery mildew, height and plant type
were made from F3 and F5 headrows; winterhardiness and pre-harvest
dormancy were evaluated in the F4 and subsequent generations;
selection for milling and baking quality was made from F5 headrows.
Seed from approximately 700 individual head rows, which were
phenotypically similar, were increased in 5.3 m2 plots, rechecked for
plant type, height, glume color, maturity, kernel color, and bulked
for breeder's seed.
Hillsdale was evaluated in advanced nurseries from 1978 to 1983
and in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Performance Nursery
in 1982 and 1983. In 42 nurseries at eight locations in Michigan,
Hillsdale exceeded 'Arthur' in yield by 21% and had about the same
yield level as "Augusta' and 'Frankenmuth'. Milling and baking
qualities were evaluated from 1978 through 1983. This cultivar has
good seed size with kernel test weight similar to 'Genesee' and
Frankenmuth. Hillsdale has good soft wheat milling and baking
quality. One of its unique features is strong preharvest seed
dormancy.
Hillsdale is a soft red winter wheat cultivar with apical awns,
brown glumes at maturity, and a rather large head that tapers
slightly. Hillsdale heads at the same time as Augusta and Frankenmuth
and 6 days later than Arthur. Hillsdale has average 1.04 m in height.
The cultivar closest in appearance to Hillsdale is Frankenmuth, which
has white seed and is resistant to biotype A and C of Hessian fly.
Hillsdale has two genes for resistance to powdery mildew.
Hillsdale has no Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)] resistance.
Variety protection has been applied for under the Plant Variety
Protection Act, Public Law 91-577, in accordance with the certified
seed option, which specifies that Hillsdale may be sold only by
cultivar name as a class of certified seed. Only two generations from
Breeder seed are permitted. Breeder seed is maintained by the
Michigan State University Agricultural Experiment Station, East
Lansing, MI 48824.

Registration of Holley Wheat (Reg. No. 490).
M. J. Bitzer, U. R. Gore, D. D. Morey, and A. R. Brown
'HOLLEY' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell), CI 14579, is a soft
red winter wheat selected from a bulk hybrid in the F5 generation from
the cross 'GA 1123' *2/'Knox 62'/'Suwon 92'/2/'Redcoat'/'Bledsoe.' It
has been tested as experimental line H63-114D. A leaf rust resistant
selection from the cross Redcoat X Bledsoe was used in the final
cross. The variety was developed at the Georgia Station of the
University of Georgia Experiment Stations. It was released in 1970.
Holley matures 2 to 6 days earlier than Ga 1123 in the Piedmont
and Coastal Plain areas of Georgia. It is resistant to the prevalent
races of leaf rust and powdery mildew common to the southeast. It is
susceptible to the prevalent races of Septoria and Hessian fly. In
tests conducted by the Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, Wooster, Ohio,
Holley has the same milling qualities as Ga 1123.
Holley has averaged 3,432 kg/ha (50.8 bu/acre) during the period
1968 to 1970 in the Piedmont compared with a yield of 3,196 kg/ha
(47.3 bu/acre) for Ga 1123. During the same period, in the Coastal
Plain region, the comparative yields were 3,642 and 3,088 kg/ha for
Holley and Ga 1123, respectively. It is well adapted to the Piedmont
and Coastal Plain areas of Georgia and Alabama and should be important
to the farmer in a double cropping program.
The morphological characteristics of Holley are as follows:
winter growth habit, early season, midtall; stems white, midstrong;
spikes awnletted, fusiform, middense, inclined; glumes glabrous,
whited midlong to long, midwide; shoulders narrow, oblique to square;
beaks midwide, obtuse, less than 0.5 mm long; awnlets white, 4 to 20
mm long; kernels red, short to midlong, soft to medium hard, ovate;
germ midsized; crease midwide, shallow; cheeks rounded; brush
midsized, long.
Breeder seed will be maintained by the Agronomy Department,
Georgia Station, University of Georgia, College of Agriculture
Experiment Stations, Experiment, Georgia.

REGISTRATION OF HOWELL WHEAT (Reg. No CV-776)
F. L. Kolb* and C. M. Brown
'HOWELL' (Reg. no CV-776, PI552816) soft red winter wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the Illinois Agricultural
Experiment Station and was officially released in 1991. Howell was
tested as IL82-3298 prior to release. The performance of Howell was
evaluated in breeding nursery trials in Illinois from 1984 to 1991, in
statewide performance trials in Illinois from 1986 to 1991, and for 3
yr in the Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery from 1986 to
1988.
Howell originated from the cross McNair 48-23 / IL70-2225 /2/
CI13855 /3/ 'Arthur' / 'Blueboy' /2/ TN 1571, and was first selected
in 1982 as an F4- derived F5 line. Howell was repurified in 1986 and
1988. Seed from F8 spikes selected from Howell in 1985 was grown in
rows in 1986, rows containing variant types were removed, and
remaining rows were harvested in bulk. Spikes were again selected in
1987, and 200 F11 rows were grown in 1988. Most of the rows were
uniform and similar to each other. Any rows that differed were
removed, and seed from the remaining rows was bulked. Breeder seed of
Howell was produced from the progeny of the bulked rows grown in 1988.
The breeder seed increase in 1989 was inspected frequently and
variants rogued. This breeder seed (F13) was increased in 1990 and
variants again rogued. The variants removed were predominantly awned
plants, which were taller than most plants in the cultivar.
Foundation seed was produced in 1991 from this repurified breeder
seed. Up to 0.5% other types, predominantly (90%) tall awned
variants, are allowed in Howell. Except for the difference in height,
the tall variants are very similar in appearance to other plants in
the cultivar; however, some variants may not be awned.
Howell is awned, white-chaffed soft red winter wheat cultivar
with high yield, excellent winter hardiness, and high test weight.
Test weight of Howell has averaged 32 kg m-3 more than 'Cardinal' in
18 tests in Illinois. Howell is similar to Cardinal in maturity and
height, and yields equal to or better than Cardinal in Illinois. It
is easily distinguished from Cardinal, because Howell is awned but
Cardinal is apically awnletted.
Coleoptiles of Howell seedings are white and stem anthocyanin is
absent. Auricles and ligules are glabrous. The heads are fusiform in
shape and classified as middense with _4.5 cm per 10 rachis
internodes. Cheeks of the kernels are rounded and the crease is
narrow and shallow. The heads are primarily erect at maturity.
Howell is moderately resistant to soilborne wheat mosaic virus,
barley yellow dwarf virus, and stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis
Pers.:Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.), moderately susceptible to
leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Roberge ex Desmaz f. sp.
tritici) and powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp.
tritici E.Marchal), and susceptible to Biotypes B and D of the Hessian
fly (Mayetiola destructor Say). It has not been evaluated against
other biotypes of Hessian fly.
Howell has exhibited good to excellent milling quality. Flour
yield and break flour yield for Howell have been similar to 'Scotty'
and only slightly lower than 'Knox 62'. Howell generally has slightly
lower protein percentage, cookie diameter, and cake volume than the
soft red winter wheat cultivar Knox 62. Because of the diverse end
uses for soft red winter wheat, the baking quality of Howell is
considered acceptable.
The generation sequence for seed production of Howell is breeder,
foundation, registered, and certified. Foundation seed of Howell was
distributed to seedsmen in the fall of 1991. Protection of Howell has
been applied for under the Plant Variety Protection Act, Public Law
91-577, and Title V of the Federal Seed Act. Breeder seed of Howell
will be maintained by the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station,
Urbana, IL 61801.
We gratefully acknowledge the technical assistance of D. E. Cler
and N. J. Smith in the development of Howell and the assistance of E.
D. Nafziger in the evaluation of Howell in performance tests in
Illinois.

Registration of Keiser Wheat (Reg. No. 739).
R. K. Bacon and J. P. Jones
'KEISER', (Reg. no. 739) PI515970, is a soft red winter wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) developed by the Arkansas Agricultural
Experiment Station. Keiser originated from the cross made in 1969 of
Purdue 5724B3-5P-8-2/'Blueboy'. The breeding line, Purdue 5724B3-5P-
8-2, was derived from the same cross as 'Benhur' and was also one of
the parents of 'Caldwell'. Keiser originated from an F3 single plant
selection in 1972, and in the F6 was reselected for uniformity by Dr.
Fred Collins formerly with the University of Arkansas. In the F16,
approximately 70 of 100 head rows were selected to purify for plant
height, awnlessness, and spike color and shape. The selected head
rows were composited to form breeder seed. It was released to seed
producers in 1987.
Keiser was tested regionally as AR48-7-4 in the Uniform Southern
and Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nurseries from 1983 to 1985 and
state-wide in the Arkansas yield trials from 1985 to 1987. Keiser was
released primarily for its disease resistance and yield potential. In
the state yield trials from 1985 to 1987. Keiser was released
primarily for its disease resistance and yield potential. In the
state yield trials from 1985 to 1987 Keiser yielded 7% more than
'Rosen'. Under Arkansas conditions Keiser has shown good resistance
to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp.
tritici) and to septoria tritici blotch [incited by Mycosphaerella
graminicola (Fuckel) Schroeter[. It is moderately resistant to
Septoria nodorum blotch (Leptosphaeria nodorum E. Muller) and
moderately susceptible to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp.
tritici E. Marchal). It is resistant to wheat soilborne mosaic virus
and/or wheat spindle streak mosaic virus. Keiser appears to have
field tolerance to take-all (Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici
Walker) and to barley yellow dwarf.
In Arkansas, Keiser usually matures 1-2 d later than Rosen and is
approximately 19 cm taller. Peduncle and spike color are similar to
Caldwell. Leaf and culm color are similar to 'Doublecrop' although
leaves are longer and wider than those of Doublecrop. Spikes at
maturity are yellow, middense, oblong to fusiform in shape, and
awnletted with occasionally prominent tip awns. There is variability
for straight vs. crooked peduncles, and there are occasional bronze-
colored spikes (1% or less). Under some environmental conditions
peduncles may be purple. Glumes are midlong and midwide with square
midwide shoulders and an obtuse beak. Kernels are red and ovate with
a medsize germ and a collared midsize brush. The cheeks are rounded
with narrow, deep crease. The volume weight of Keiser averages 13 to
19 kg m-3 higher than Rosen. Tests, during 1983 to 1985, by the USDA-
ARS Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, Wooster, OH, indicate that Keiser
has good milling and fair baking qualities.
Keiser was named in honor of Keiser, AR, where the University of
Arkansas Northeast Research and Extension center (NEREC) is located.
The original selection and subsequent reselection as well as seed
increases occurred at the NEREC. This cultivar also appears to be
well adapted to the heavy- to medium-textured soils found near the
NEREC. Variety protection under the Plant Variety Protection Act is
not anticipated. Breeder and foundation seed of Keiser is maintained
by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Fayetteville, AR
72701.

Registration of Kenosha Wheat (Reg. No. 545).
H. S. Shands, R. A. Forsberg, and Z. M. Arawinko
'KENOSHA' (CI 14025), Wis. X638-2, is a soft red winter wheat
[Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell. spp. vulgare (Vill., Host) Mac Key.]
released by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station for planting
in 1968 (1). The plants are intermediate in height with awned spikes
(lemmas) and have white chaff. The parentage of Kenosha is 'Ill.
1'/'Chinese'/2/T.
timopheevi/3/'Turkey'/2/'Minturki'/5/'Racine'/6/Racine. The product
of the first three crosses was obtained from R. G. Shands (4). This
unnamed selection had leaf and stem rust resistance derived from T.
timopheevi Zhuk. The fifth cross, involving Racine, was made in 1955
and the final cross, also involving Racine, was made in 1956. Yield
testing began in 1961.
The main reason for distributing Kenosha was to provide a
winterhardy variety with stem rust resistance, stem rust having
reduced the yields of Racine in the early 1960's. Kenosha is more
winterhardy than 'Timwin.'
Yield tests indicate that Kenosha yields as well as Racine and
Timwin in Wisconsin, but it was low in average yield in the Uniform
Eastern Soft Wheat Nursery (2). Kenosha has shorter straw than Racine
and tends to lodge slightly more than Racine. Kenosha appears more
susceptible to leaf rust, but more resistant to stem rust than Racine.
The milling and baking characteristics, as determined by the USDA
Soft Wheat Laboratory at Wooster, Ohio, indicate that Kenosha has test
weight and quality essentially like that of Racine. Breeder seed will
be maintained by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station,
Madison, WI 53706.

Registration of Key Wheat (Reg. No. 613).
F. L. Patterson, J. F. Schafer, and R. L. Gallun
'KEY' soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell), CI
15928, was developed cooperatively by the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp.
Stn. and the SEA-USDA and released in 1976. Along with the authors,
major contributions to the breeding of Key were made by three former
staff members of Purdue Univ. and USDA.
Key is a high protein soft red winter wheat potentially useful
for high protein soft wheat products. It has been widely tested in
Indiana, national and international nurseries as Purdue 49306A6-28-2-
1. It was released to permit production for large scale quality
evaluations and product development. Key is a protected cultivar,
Certificate No. 7700030 (P.L. 91-577). Seed may be sold only as a
class of Certified Seed. Commercial production of Key is expected to
occur under contracts with specific food processors.
Key derives its high protein level from the Brazilian, red-
seeded, spring wheat cultivar 'Frondoso', PI 106504, which is the
source of the high protein in 'Atlas 66'. The detailed parentage of
Key is: Frondoso/'Fultz' CI 11845/4/'Trumbull'/2/'Hope'/'Hussar'
/3/'Fulhio'/'Purkof'/5/'Fairfield'/4/PI 94587/2/2*(Purdue 29408)
'Fultz' CI 11512/'Hungarian'/4/Trumbull*3/2/ Hope/Hussar /3/Trumbull
/2/W38/Purdue 29408. Following the final cross, plant selections were
made in the F1, F2, F5 and F6 generations. Seed from 100 uniform
plant progeny rows was composited in the F10 generation in 1964. This
seed was regrown in 1965 (F11) and 1969 (F12). The seed lot was
regrown in 1974 (F13 generation) and plants were selected to initiate
Breeder Seed. Seed of 47 plants row progenies, judged uniform, was
composited in 1975 (F14 generation) for Breeder Seed.
Coleoptile color of Key is purple, seedling plant anthocyanin
sometimes occurs, and fall growth is decumbent. Winterhardiness is
good, similar to that of 'Redcoat'. Key is medium green at booting.
Anther are purple. Flag leaves are typically recurved and not
twisted. A slight bloom is generally evident on the flag leaf sheath.
Hairs are typically absent from the first leaf sheath. The first leaf
below the flag leaf is typically about 10 mm wide and 28 cm long. Key
has averaged 4 days later than 'Arthur' in flowering and 1 day earlier
than Redcoat.
Key averaged 107 cm in height 1968 to 1974, about the same as
Redcoat. Stems are typically yellow but with light purple anthocyanin
development on some stems. The internodes are hollow. Four above
ground nodes are common. Spikes are lax to intermediate, tapering to
strap in shape, and average about 9 cm in length and 10 mm in width.
Spikes generally have a few awnlets, typically near the tip. The
glumes of Key are midlong, narrow to midwide, and brown at maturity.
Shoulders are square (at mid-spike) to rounded, and narrow to midwide.
Beaks are obtuse, wide, and generally 0.5 to 1.0 mm long. Kernels are
red and weight about 34 g/1,000.
Key has adult plant resistance to the leaf rust disease (incited
by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp tritici) derived from
Frondoso. It showed high resistance in the field to P. recondita
races 5, 35, 76, and 104 in 1968 and to races 2, 15, 34, 52, 61 82,
104B and 114 in 1966 and 1967. Key has shown adult plant resistance
to stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.
races 15B, 29, 38, and 56) at Lafayette, IN. Presumably this
resistance is derived from the Hope-Hussar parent. Key has been
resistant to races of loose smut (incited by Ustilago tritici (Pers.)
Rostr.) occurring in Indiana. Light brown necrosis (common for Hope
derivates) is generally present on the glumes. Key has been
moderately susceptible to the powdery mildew disease (incited by
Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Em. Marchal) in Indiana. Key has
reacted as intermediate to moderately susceptible to the Septoria leaf
blotch disease, caused by Septoria tritici Rob ex. Desm. Key has the
H6 gene for resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor, Say)
biotypes A and B.
Key is similar to Atlas 66 in quality. The percent protein of
Key is generally 2 or 3 percentage points above other soft red winter
wheat cultivars. Key has harder kernel texture qualities than
Arthur. For the 1976 crop, quality test values of Key vs. Arthur
were, respectively,; pearling index 43.6 vs. 53.4, particle size index
13.0 vs 13.8, cookie diameter 16.5 vs 17.2, and cookie top grain 7 vs.
8, and cake volume 541 vs. 554. Test weight of Key is excellent. Key
is a moderately productive cultivar similar to Redcoat and 'Monon' in
Indiana, but is not as productive as Arthur.
Breeder Seed will be maintained by the Purdue Univ. Agric. Exp.
Stn., Lafayette, IN 47907.

REGISTRATION OF KNOX WHEAT (Reg. No. 355)
E. G. Heyne
KNOX, CI 12798, is a soft red winter wheat developed by the
Purdue University Agr. Exp. Sta. and the Crops Research Division, ARS,
USDA, and distributed by Purdue University in 1953. Application for
registration was made by Ralph M. Caldwell, Leroy E. Compton, John F.
Schafer and Fred L. Patterson. Knox resulted from a series of 6
crosses (figure 2) involving 7 original parents. The first cross was
made in 1927 and the final one in 1941. A plant selection was made in
the F4 of the final cross in 1945. Two hundred F7 plant rows of this
F4 line were bulked for increase of the variety in 1949.
The superior characteristics of Knox are: early maturity, leaf
rust resistance, short straw, high yielding potential, and excellent
grain quality. Knox is about 8 days earlier and 8 inches shorter than
Vigo. It is superior to Trumbull in winter-hardiness but inferior to
Vigo. Knox has adult-plant resistance to leaf rust and powdery
mildew. It resists soil-borne mosaic but is susceptible to the
Trumbull races of loose smut, to bunt, to Septoria leaf blotch, and
stem rust. Data on these characteristics are given in tables 2 and 3.
The quality is excellent. The spikes are awnletted and fusiform in
shape. The glumes are white.
Knox is well adapted to all of Indiana and to areas of Illinois,
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Texas. Knox was grown on an
estimated 55% of the Indiana wheat acreage in 1957.

Registration of Knox 62 Wheat (Reg. No. 593).
F. L. Patterson, J. F. Schafer, and R. L. Gallun
'KNOX 62' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.), CI 13701, is a
soft red winter wheat cultivar developed cooperatively by the Purdue
University Agricultural Experiment Station and the SEA, USDA, and
released in 1962. Along with the authors, major contributions were
made to the breeding of Knox 62 by three former staff members of
Purdue and the SEA.
Knox 62, tested earlier as Purdue 551G3-1-16, is a 'Knox' (Reg.
No. 355) type with resistance to the Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor
(Say); added by backcross breeding of an F1 of two Purdue lines,
Purdue 4718A7-26-2 and Purdue 4126A9-16-1-1-3, to Knox. The parentage
of Knox 62 is Knox*5/8/'Kawvale'/5/'Fultz'/'Hungarian'*3 /2/'Hope'
/'Hussar'/7'Knox sib /5/Fairfield/4/PI 94587/2/Fulz/Hungarian/3/Fultz/
Hungarian. Knox 62 was derived from 16 F4 plants which were derived
from one F3 plant following the backcrosses.
Knox 62 is indistinguishable from Knox in maturity, yield,
winterhardiness, and milling and baking qualities. Both are resistant
to the soil-borne mosaic virus disease and both have the slow-rusting
and slow-mildewing types of general resistances, in the adult-plant
stage, to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici
Erick.) and powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici em.
Marchal).
Knox 62 carries the H3 H3 resistant gene from PI 94587
conditioning resistance to races A and B of the Hessian fly, whereas
Knox is susceptible. Knox 62 has not been as susceptible as Knox to
loose smut (Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.) from artificial
inoculation or to natural infection. Knox 62 is slightly inferior to
Knox in straw strength, but is identical to Knox in spike, glume,
awnlet, and kernel characteristics. Knox 62 has been grown on limited
acreages as a replacement for Knox in the eastern U.S.
Breeder seed will be maintained by Purdue University.

REGISTRATION OF LaPORTE WHEAT (Reg. No. 356)
E. G. Heyne
LaPORTE, CI 12557, is a soft red winter wheat developed by the
Purdue Univ. Agr. Exp. Station and the Crops Research Branch, ARS,
USDA, and distributed by Purdue University in 1957. Application for
registration was made by Ralph M. Caldwell, Leroy E. Compton, Fred L.
Patterson, and John F. Schafer. LaPorte resulted from a series of 5
crosses to combine desirable characters from 6 original parents
(figure 1). The first cross was made in 1923 and the final one in
1939. The individual selection resulting in LaPorte was made in 1944
in the F5 generation after the last cross.
LaPorte is a high yielding, high test-weight, soft wheat having
milling and baking qualities approximately those of other recommended
varieties. It has winter-hardiness similar to Vigo. The straw is
stiff but fairly tall and in certain seasons develops a purplish
color. It is medium early in maturity, awnless, and has white glumes.
LaPorte has moderate adult-plant resistance to leaf rust, is highly
resistant to the powdery mildew races prevalent in Indiana, and
resists soil-borne mosaic and loose smut. It is susceptible to bunt
and Septoria leaf blotch. Its most significant characteristics are
high seedling resistance to powdery mildew and resistance to loose
smut. Data on some of these characteristics are given in tables 2 and
3.
LaPorte is well adapted to all of Indiana, especially the
northern part of the state. In regional tests it has performed well
in the northern part of the eastern soft red winter wheat region.

Registration of Lewis Wheat (Reg. No. 459).
Charles Hayward and J. M. Poehlman
'LEWIS', Triticum aestivum L. em Thell., CI 13704, is a soft red
winter wheat variety developed by the Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station. The variety originated as a single R2 plant, selected in
1957, which had both awned and awnleted spikes. In 1958 a reselection
was made in R3 for the awnleted characteristic. This was a true-
breeding line which was designated as Mo. 7068, and which eventually
became Lewis. The original population selected in 1951 and irradiated
at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1955, came from the following
cross which was made in 1946: ('Kawvale' X 'White Federation'-'Early
Premium') X ('Mediterranean I' X 'Clarkan').
Lewis is of winter habit, early, short; stem white, midstrong to
strong; spike fusiform, awnleted, middense, erect; glumes glabrous,
white, midlong, midwide; shoulders midwide, rounded; beaks midwide,
obtuse, 0.5 mm long; awnlets white, 2 to 6 mm long; kernels red,
midlong, soft, ovate; germ midsized; crease midwide, middeep to deep;
cheeks rounded; brush midsized, midlong.
Lewis has compared favorably in yield to other commercial
varieties grown in Missouri (Table 1). It has good straw strength and
winterhardiness about equal to that of 'Knox' and 'Monon.' It is less
winterhardy than 'Stadler.' Lewis is somewhat lower in test weight
than is desired, and is susceptible to leaf rust, stem rust, powdery
mildew, soilborne mosaic, and to Hessian fly. Because of early
maturity, it generally escapes severe rust damage. It has good
resistance to prevalent races of loose smut in Missouri.

Kernel texture of Lewis is slightly harder than that of Knox. It
does not measure up to Knox or Stadler in soft wheat milling and
baking characteristics. Flour from Lewis performs well in cakes but
is less desirable for cookies.
Foundation seed of Lewis was distributed in 1964 by the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station, Columbia, Mo., and seed is being
maintained by this agency.

Registration of Logan Wheat (Reg. No. 472).
H. N. Lafever
'LOGAN', Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell., CI 14156, is a soft red
winter wheat selected from a 'Vermillion' X 'Lucas' cross. The
variety is an increase of a single plant selected in 1959 from an F5
bulk population by the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development
Center. The recent discovery that Logan possesses resistance to Race
A of Hessian fly indicates an outcross probably occurred early in its
development since neither known parent possesses such resistance.
Logan was released in the summer of 1968 and distributed by Ohio
Foundation Seeds, Inc.
Logan is early to midseason in maturity, short to midtall in
height and has strong, white stems. The spike is awnless with small
tip awns 6 to 25 mm long, fusiform shaped, middense, and is erect to
inclined at maturity. Glumes are white, glabrous, midlong, midwide
with shoulder midwide and oblique to square. Beak is midwide to wide
and obtuse. Kernel is red, midlong and ovate; germ is midsized;
crease is midwide and middeep; cheek is rounded; brush is midsized and
short to midlong.
Logan has been tested in Ohio yield trials since 1962 and was
first tested in state-wide drill-plot trials in 1964. Performance of
Logan can be compared with 'Fulton,' 'Monon,' 'Redcoat,' and 'Reed' in
Table 1. Logan was entered in the Uniform Eastern Soft Wheat Nursery
in 1966 under number TN 1455. Logan has moderate resistance to
current predominant races of leaf rust and has shown very little loose
smut from natural infection. Logan is susceptible to the currently
prevalent races of stem rust and is moderately susceptible to Septoria
leaf blotch and powdery mildew. Winter hardiness of Logan is
excellent. Milling and baking qualities of Logan have been studied by
the Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory at Wooster, Ohio, for the past three
seasons. Their results indicate no important deviation of Logan from
currently grown soft red winter wheat varieties.
Breeder seed will be maintained by the Ohio Agricultural Research
and Development Center.

E. G. Heyne
LUCAS, CI 12990, is a soft red winter wheat distributed in Ohio
in the fall of 1959. It was developed by the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station. C. A. lamb made the application for registration.
Lucas is a selection from the cross Thorne X OSU 101-3 (from
Portage X Fulcaster) made in 1938. The final selection (TN1259) was
made by C. A. Lamb in 1943. It had been widely tested at numerous
locations in Ohio before its release (table 4).

The superior characteristics of Lucas are good yield, high bushel
weight, and strong straw. It is susceptible to leaf rust, stem rust,
mildew, and Hessian fly. The plant has a winter habit and is
midseason in maturity. The stem has a faint purple color, is midtall
and strong; the spike is awnletted, fusiform, mid-dense, and erect;
the glumes are glabrous, white, midlong, and wide; the shoulders are
midwide to wide; the beak is obtuse and about 1 mm long; awnlets are
several, 5 to 15 mm long. The kernels are red, midlong, soft,
elliptical, the germ is midsized; the crease is narrow to midwide,
shallow to mid-deep; cheeks are moderately rounded and the brush is
midsized and midlong. There should be about 30,000 bushels of seed
