REGISTRATION OF ALBIT WHEAT (Reg. No. 258)
J. A. Clark
ALBIT (Wash. No. 2517; C. I. No. 8275) was developed by the
Washington Agricultural Experiment Station at Pullman, Wash. It is
the result of across between Hybrid 128 (female) and White Odessa
(male) made in 1920 by E. F. Gaines. A selection made in 1923
resulted in the Albit variety. It is a club wheat with awnless
spikes, glabrous white glumes, and soft white kernels. It is superior
to Hybrid 128 in yield and is bunt resistant. It was released for
commercial distribution in the fall of 1926. E. F. Gaines, Cerealist
of the Washington Station, applied for its registration. It has been
under experiment at Pullman, Wash., since 1924, the results being as
follows:

Registration of Arrow Wheat (Reg. No. 527).
Neal F. Jensen
'ARROW' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.), CI 15079, is a
soft white winter wheat developed at the Cornell University
Agricultural Experiment Station. Arrow is a pure line selection
(formerly NY 5751aB-3B-9) from the hybrid 'Avon' sib/2/ 'Heine's VII'/
'NY wheat-rye selection' made at Ithaca by the author in 1957.
Featured characteristics of Arrow are outstanding lodging
resistance in a medium height plant, high yield (exceeded only by
'Yorkstar' in the Cornell series), and improved kernel
characteristics, especially higher test weight per bushel than
Yorkstar. Milling and baking quality of Arrow are excellent,
resembling Avon most closely. Relative comparisons of Arrow with
Cornell varieties are: lodging resistance, best; test weight of grain,
best; yield, second; height, shortest; and quality, equal. In general
Arrow has performed similarly to Yorkstar with reference to winter
survival and disease and insect resistance.
Arrow has a winter habit of growth and midseason maturity; the
white straw is medium short with lodging resistance superior to
Yorkstar and all previous Cornell varieties. The midlong head with
red chaff is awnless and upright, tending to nod at full maturity.
The kernels of Arrow are soft white, plump, midlong, and ovate to
oval; the crease is midwide and middeep; and cheeks are rounded to
angular.
Three-year average performance data for Arrow, Yorkstar, and
'Genesee' from 69 reporting stations growing the USDA Uniform Eastern
Soft Wheat Nurseries were reported by Jensen and Pardee.
The general sequence of seed production will be Breeder,
Foundation and Certified. Arrow was released and 8 acres of seed were
produced in 1971. Commercial sale of Certified Seed began in Fall,
1972. Breeder Seed will be maintained by the Cornell University
Agricultural Experiment Station.

Registration of Augusta Wheat (Reg. No. 708).
E.H. Everson, R.D. Freed, P.K. Zwer, L.W. Morrison, B.L. Marchetti,
J.L. Clayton, and W.T. Yamazaki
'AUGUSTA' (CI17831), a soft white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum
L.) (Reg. no. 708) was developed at the Michigan State University
Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with USDA-ARS, and was
released in 1979. It was tested in Michigan and regionally as
Michigan-B2035 and MO300. It is named for the town of Augusta, the
site of one of the earliest grist mills in Michigan and a milling
center since 1832. Augusta was released because of its field
resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal) and leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Lab. ex. Desm. f. sp.
tritici), broad adaptation, excellent agronomic performance, and
milling and baking quality.
Augusta was an F5 selection of a 1967 cross of
'Genesee'/'Redcoat',B2747 /2/'Yorkstar'. Selections were made in the
F3 and F5 head rows for plant type, height, powdery mildew and leaf
rust resistance. In the F4, it was tested for those characters in
addition to winter hardiness and in the F5 and subsequent generations
for milling and baking quality. The line was purified in the F10 when
approximately 450 head rows were selected from a total of 500 on the
basis of height and glume, and kernel color. Each of the 450 head
rows were individually increased in 5.3 m2 plots, rechecked for glume
color, plant height, maturity, and kernel color, and bulked for
breeder's seed.
Augusta was evaluated in Michigan in advanced nurseries from 1973
to 1978 and in the Eastern Uniform Soft White Winter Wheat trials from
1976 to 1978. In 42 nurseries at eight locations in Michigan, its
yield surpassed Genesee by 14% and 'Arthur' by 16%. Milling and
baking qualities were evaluated from 1971 through 1979 at the USDA
Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, OARDC, Wooster, OH. Augusta has medium
kernel size with more stable, higher test weight than Yorkstar. It
has excellent soft wheat milling and baking qualities.
Augusta is an awnless soft white winter wheat with a slight
tendency for awnlets on the apical spikelets. It has white glumes at
maturity, and a rather large spike tapering slightly toward the apex.
Augusta heads at the same time as 'Frankenmuth'a nd 6 days later than
Arthur. It has averaged 1.01 m in height. The soft white cultivars
most similar in appearance are Yorkstar and Frankenmuth, however, both
have brown glumes compared to white for Augusta. It is also similar
in plant height and glume color to 'Fredrick', but is susceptible to
all known races of Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)], whereas
Fredrick is resistant to race A and C.
Augusta has good field resistance to the biotypes of leaf rust,
and powdery mildew, occurring naturally in Michigan. It has no genes
for Hessian fly resistance, but its exceptional straw strength
provides resistance against straw breakage with spring fly
infestations.
Variety protection (Certificate no. 8000164) has been granted
under the Plant Variety Protection Act, Public Law 92-577, in
accordance with the certified seed option, and specifies that it may
be sold by cultivar name only 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. The authors gratefully acknowledge
the expert assistance of the technical staff of the Soft Wheat Quality
Laboratory, USDA-ARS, OARDC, Wooster, OH.

REGISTRATION OF AVON WHEAT (Reg. No. 389)
E. G. Heyne
AVON, CI 13477, is a soft white winter wheat developed by Cornell
University and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, and distributed
in 1958. Neal F. Jensen made the application for registration.
This variety is a selection from the cross Genesee X [(Honor-
Rosen rye X Hussar-Yorkwin) X Nured] made in 1948. The final
selection was made in 1952 by Neal F. Jensen.
The superior characteristics of Avon are resistance to loose smut
and common and dwarf bunt; short and strong straw; high test weight
and yield; and good quality. The area of adaptation appears to be in
the states of New York and Michigan, and Ontario Province.
Avon is midseason in maturity; midshort in height; has a white,
strong stem; an awnletted, mid-dense clavate spike; brown glumes; and
soft, white kernels.

Registration of Barbee Wheat (Reg. No. 586).
C. J. Peterson, Jr., O. A. Vogel, D. W. George, and G. L. Rubenthaler
'BARBEE' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell), CI 17417, is a
semidwarf, soft white club winter cultivar developed by the ARS, USDA,
and the Washington State Agricultural Research Center. It was
released in 1976 jointly by the USDA and the Idaho and Washington
Agricultural Experiment Stations.
Barbee was selected in the F4 generation from the cross WA
3969/2/PI 178383/CI 13431 made at Pullman, Wash. in 1962. WA 3969 is
'Omar'/1834, 3. Parentage of 1834 is unknown. Barbee has a very
dense bearded spiked with brown glumes that are midlong and midwide.
The kernels are ovate, white, soft, and short with a shallow crease.
The germ is small. Barbee is similar to 'Paha', CI 14485, in maturity
and winterhardiness. Seedling vigor of Barbee is not as good as that
of Paha.
Barbee (WA 5826, VD 67211) was evaluated in the observation and
performance nurseries of Washington from 1967 to 1975. It was
included in the Western Regional Soft White Winter Wheat Nursery from
1971 to 1975. The grain yield of Barbee equalled or exceeded the
yield of Paha but was less than that of 'Nugaines', CI 13968. Test
weight of Barbee is generally 1.3 kg/hl less than that of Paha.
Barbee is resistant to the present Pacific Northwest races of stripe
rust (Puccinia striiformis, West). It is also resistant to flag smut
(Urocystis tritici, Koern), common bunt (Tilletia foetida (Wallry)
Liro), and some races of dwarf bunt (Tilletia controversa, Kuhn).
Barbee is susceptible to leaf rust (Puccinia rubigo-vera (DC.) Wint.
f. sp. tritici (Eriks.) Carl.) and Cercosporella foot rot
(Cercosporella herpotrichoides, Fron.).
The milling characteristics of Barbee are similar to those of
Nugaines but not as good as those of Paha. Barbee produces an
excellent pastry-type flour.
Barbee is intended for production in eastern Washington and
northern Idaho in the 35- to 46-cm precipitation areas. Breeder and
foundation seed will be maintained by the Washington State Crop
Improvement Association under the supervision of the Agronomy and
Soils Department, College of Agriculture Research Center, Washington
State University, and the USDA, Pullman, WA 99163.

Registration of Beaver Wheat (Reg. No. 444).
Wilson H. Foote
'BEAVER' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) CI 13058, is a white
spring wheat developed at Pullman, Washington, in cooperation with the
Crops Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Beaver originated as a selection from the
cross of 'Marfed' X 'Merit' made by O. A. Vogel in 1942. The
selection resulting in this variety was a reselection made in the F5
generation on the basis of its resistance to leaf and stem rust and
mildew. F. C. Elliott entered this selection in the USDA Regional
Spring Wheat Nursery in 1952.
Trials at Corvallis, Oregon, indicated that Beaver was well
adapted to the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Beaver was named and
released by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in 1964.
Beaver has a spring habit of growth and is midseason in maturity.
It is a tall variety with fairly strong straw. The spike is awned,
fusiform, and erect and the glumes glabrous. The kernels are white,
mid-long, soft, and elliptical and the germ is mid-sized. Beaver is
resistant to the prevalent races of stripe rust found in the
Willamette Valley and to some races of leaf and stem rust and mildew.
Beaver was grown in the USDA Uniform Spring Wheat Nursery from
1952-1956. It was grown at 96 locations in the 5-year period. The
average yield for this period was 45.4 bushels per acre compared to
43.8 bushels of "Idaed' and 42.6 for 'Henry.'
Comparative performance data for Beaver, 'Zimmerman,' 'Huston,'
and Idaed grown at Corvallis, Oregon, are given in Table 1.
The outstanding characteristics of Beaver are its strong straw,
resistance to stripe rust and high yields under western Oregon
conditions. Foundation seed of Beaver wheat was distributed to
growers in 1964. The Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station will
maintain breeder seed.

Registration of Big Club 43 Wheat (Reg. No. 418).
C. A. Suneson
BIG CLUB 43, CI 12244, a soft, white spring wheat, is a product
of the cooperative wheat breeding investigations of the California
Agricultural experiment Station and the Agricultural Research Service
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It was the first wheat in
America with a multiple recombination of known genes for bunt, stem
rust, and hessian fly resistance. These were put in an old variety by
backcross breeding. Big Club 43 was developed from multiple crossing
of (Hope X Baart4) X Big Club2 X (Martin X Big Club7)2 with (Dawson X
Big Club4) X (Martin X Big Club7)2. The F3 was subjected to
independent severe bunt, stem rust, and hessian fly attack from which
144 lines with triple resistance were recovered. These were
composited as Breeder's seed. This was first distributed in 1944.
Big Club 43 now has more classic than economic interest.
Acceptance of the Improved Big Club 43 has been good. The Big Club
type, because of late maturity, is recommended in California only on
heavy and wet soils where wind shattering is also serious. It is
interesting, however, that its triple resistance has remained
protective through 16 years of use. This is best documented as
regards hessian fly in the Rio Vista area with a prior 70-year history
on this insect pest. The persistence of enduring hessian fly
resistance has been attributed to the presence of 3 genotypes
(H1H1H2H2, H1H1h2h2 or h1h1H2H2) among the 144 component lines in Big
Club 43.

Registration of Big Club 60 Wheat (Reg. No. 419).
C. A. Suneson
BIG CLUB 60, CI 13643, is a soft, white spring wheat produced by
the cooperative wheat breeding investigations of the California
Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Research Service
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The best rust-resistant lines
of Big Club 43 and a previously discarded purplestraw line of Big Club
43 which gives added protection from yellow dwarf virus were crossed.
After multiple sib crossings and appropriate selection from 1954 to
1960, 103 lines were bulked to constitute the variety. Big Club 60
had additional rust resistance and yellow dwarf virus tolerance in
California but is otherwise similar to Big Club 43 and is expected to
replace that variety. It can only be distinguished from Big Club 43
by its purple-tinged straw. The variety was released in 1960 and
foundation seed is maintained by the California Experiment Station.

'BLANCA' (Reg. no. 733) (PI 501533) soft white spring wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) was selected as an F4 line from the cross of
ID0045/5/ 2*A6514S-A-102-1/4/ A6535S-443-101/3/ 'Springfield'/2/ PI
227196/ A63166S-A-2-8 made at the University of Idaho Research and
Extension Center at Aberdeen in 1972. ID0045 was a selection from the
cross 'Yaktana 54 A'*4/2/'Norin 10'/'Brevor'/3/2*'Yaqui 50"/4/Norin
10/Brevor/2/'Baart/'Onas'. A6514S-A-102-1 was from the cross Yaktana
54A*4/ Norin 10/Brevor/5/ Norin 10/ Brevor/2/ 3*Lemhi 53'/3/ 'Lemhi
62'/4/ 5*Lemhi 53/2/ 7*'Lee'/ 'Transfer'. A6535S-443-101 is a sister
selection of 'Fielder' and 'Fieldwin', and A63166S-a-2-8 is a sister
selection of 'Twin'. It was developed cooperatively by USDA-ARS and
the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station. Blanca was tested in the
Idaho yield trials for 5 yr (1979-1983), in the Western Regional
Spring Wheat Nursery in 1983, and in the San Luis Valley of Colorado
for 3 yr (1983-1985). It was released jointly by the Colorado
Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA-ARS in 1986.
Blanca is an awned, medium height, white glumed cultivar that is
similar to 'Owens' in appearance. The spikes are erect to inclined,
oblong, and middense. Glumes are glabrous, white, long, and midwide,
with narrow to midwide, oblique shoulders. Beaks are acuminate and 3
to 5 cm in length. The kernels are soft, white, midlong, and ovate,
with a midsized germ, rounded cheeks, and a narrow, deep crease.
Blanca is susceptible to stripe rust (caused by Puccinia
striiformis West.), and moderately resistant to the prevalent races of
leaf rust (caused by P. recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici), and
powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal). It has averaged 1 d later in maturity than Owens and 3 d
earlier than Twin. Blanca has averaged 7 cm taller than Owens and
Twin but it has had significantly stiffer straw than either of them
and consequently, is more resistant to lodging. In the 3-yr averages
of cultivars grown under irrigation in the San Luis Valley of
Colorado. Blanca has produced a 10% higher grain yield than the
second ranked cultivar, Owens, but it has average 9 kg m-3 lower in
grain volume weight. Blanca has excellent cookie-making quality and
it has more tolerance to dough mixing than Owens and Twin. Flour
extraction is satisfactory.
Breeder and Foundation seed classes of Blanca will be maintained
by Colorado State University. Seed may be requested by writing to the
Foundation Seed Project, Agronomy Department, Colorado State
University, Fort Collins, CO 80523.

Registration of Bliss Wheat (Reg. No. 714).
D.W. Sunderman and Brendan O'Connell
'BLISS' soft white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. no.
714), PI 486350, was selected from a cross of 'Hyslop'/'Fielder' made
in 1971. It was developed cooperatively by the Idaho Agricultural
Experiment Station and USDA-ARS. Bliss was tested in the Idaho yield
nurseries as IDO172 for 8 yrs (1976 to 1983) and in the Western
Regional Spring Wheat Nursery for 3 yrs (1980 to 1982). It was
released jointly by the Idaho and Oregon Agricultural Experiment
Stations and USDA-ARS in 1984.
Bliss is a semidwarf cultivar that has erect to inclined, oblong,
middense, awned spikes. Glumes are long and midwide with narrow,
oblique shoulders. Beaks are narrow, acuminate, and 3 to 5 mm long.
The kernels are soft, white, midlong, and ovate with rounded cheeks
and a middeep crease. Bliss has average 3 to 5 days later in maturity
and 5 cm taller than 'Dirkwin' and 'Owens' in the Idaho irrigated
trials. Although Bliss is taller than Dirkwin and Owens, it has
stiffer straw and has slightly better resistance to lodging.
Bliss has been resistant to Pacific Northwest races of strip rust
(caused by Puccinia striiformis West.), moderately susceptible to leaf
rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. desm. f. sp. tritici), and
moderately resistant to black point (caused by Alternaria species),
black chaff (caused by Xanthomonas translucens f. sp. undulosa) and
powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal).
The average yields of Bliss, Dirkwin, and Owens during 6 years of
testing in two southern Idaho irrigated nurseries were 6081, 5934, and
6115 kg ha-1, respectively. Test weights of the respective cultivars
were 750.3 731.0, and 770.9 kg m-3. Although the test weight of grain
from Bliss has been slightly lower than that from Owens, a lower black
point infection and a more uniform seed size make it more desirable
from a quality standpoint. Bliss, Owens, and 'Waverly' averaged 7244,
6297 and 6303 kg ha-1 in irrigated yield tests at Ontario, Oregon in
1980 and 1981. Bliss ranked 7th, 14th, and 1st in average yield,
respectively in the 1980, 1981, and 1982 Regional Spring Wheat
Nurseries which consisted of 35 to 37 entries grown at 17 locations.
The flour yield and milling score of Bliss have been slightly lower
than those of Owens. Pastry quality has been satisfactory. Breeder
and Foundation seed of Bliss will be maintained by the University of
Idaho, Aberdeen Research and Extension Center, P.O. Box AA, Aberdeen,
ID 83210.

REGISTRATION OF BREVOR WHEAT (Reg. No. 374)
E. G. Heyne
BREVOR, CI 12385, is a soft, white, winter wheat with high yield,
lodging resistance, and resistance to bunt, adapted to eastern
Washington and northern Idaho. This variety was developed by the
Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, and the Washington Agricultural
Experiment Station. O. A. Vogel applied for registration. Brevor is
a selection made in 1944 from the compound cross, (27-15), (Turkey-
Florence X Fortyfold-Federation) X [Oro X Turkey-Florence) X (Oro X
Fortyfold-Federation)] made in 1938. Brevor was released in 1949
primarily because of its high resistance to the races of bunt present
in the Pacific Northwest. It increased very rapidly in acreage and
was the most extensively grown soft, white, winter wheat variety in
1957 in Washington and northern Idaho. It is expected to be replaced
by the new variety Omar (Reg. No. 377).
Brevor is midseason in maturity and has a short stiff straw. The
culm is white; the spike is awnleted; oblong to clavate; the glume is
glabrous and white; and the kernel is white, soft, and of unusually
uniform texture. It has only fair milling quality.

REGISTRATION OF CORNELL 595 WHEAT (Reg. No. 390)
E. G. Heyne
CORNELL 595, CI 12372, is a soft white winter wheat developed by
Cornell University and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, and
distributed in 1942. Neal F. Jensen made the application for
registration.
Cornell 595 is a selection from the cross (Honor-Forward X Nured)
X Honor made in 1933 and the final selection was made by H. H. Love in
1937. The variety has been described previously.
For many years, Cornell 595 was the dominant wheat variety in New
York and Ontario. Recently, it has been replaced by Genesee. Its
good characteristics are high yield, strong straw, and resistance to
loose smut.
Cornell 595 is midseason in maturity; midtall in height; stems
are mostly purple and strong; the spike is awnletted, fusiform, lax,
and erect; the glumes are brown; and the kernels are soft and white.

Registration of Crestone Wheat (Reg. No. 658).
D. W. Sunderman, M. M. Stearns, and James G. Walker
'CRESTONE' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.), CI 17858, is a
soft white spring wheat that originated from the backcross 'Twin'*3
/6/ PI277196 /5/ 'Norin 10' / 'Brevor' /2/ 3*'Lemhi 53' /3/ Lemhi 62
/4/ 5*Lemhi 53 /2/ 7*'Lee' / 'Transfer' completed in 1971. It was
developed cooperatively by ARS, USDA and the Idaho and Colorado Agric.
Exp. Stns. crestone was selected as a stripe rust (caused by Puccinia
striiformis West.) resistant F3 line form the 1973 rust nursery and
tested in the 1973-79 Idaho yield trials, the 1977-79 Colorado yield
trials an the 1975-76 Western Regional Spring Wheat Nursery as ID0105.
It was released jointly by the Colorado Agricultural Experiment
Station and the ARS, USDA.
Crestone is similar and nearly indistinguishable from Twin in
plant and seed characteristics. Spikes of Crestone are erect to
inclined, awnless, and oblong to clavate and middense with the upper
one-half of many spikes dense. Kernels are white, short, soft, oval
to ovate with a narrow to midwide and shallow to middeep crease.
Kernels cheeks are rounded and the brush is midsized and midlong. The
average height of Crestone in 7 years of testing at two Idaho
irrigated stations was 77 cm with yearly variation ranging from 66 to
89 cm.
Crestone has resistance to powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe
graminis D.C. ex. Merat f. sp. tritici) governed by genes obtained
from PI 227196, whereas Twin is susceptible. Both are resistant to
stripe rust and susceptible to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita
Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici).
When grown under irrigation, Crestone has had a 5% yield
advantage over Twin in 7 years of testing in Idaho and a 15% advantage
in 5 years of testing in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. The
cultivars have produced similar yields in the southern Idaho dryland
trials. Test weight of the two cultivars has been similar when grown
in Idaho; however, twin has had about a 1.3 kg/hl test weight
advantage in the Colorado trials.
Crestone and Twin are similar in protein content and in milling
and pastry quality.
Breeder and foundation seed of Crestone will be maintained by
Colorado State University. Limited amounts of breeder or foundation
seed may also be maintained by the Idaho Agric. Exp. Stn. Foundation
seed is available from the Foundation Seed Program, Agronomy Dep.,
Colorado State Univ., Fort Collins, CO 80523.

Registration of Crew, A Multiline Wheat Cultivar (Reg. No. 675).
R. E. Allan, R. F. Line, C. J. Peterson, Jr., G. L. Rubenthaler, K. J.
Morrison, and C. R. Rohde
'CREW' (Reg. No. 675, CI 17951) was developed cooperatively by
the USDA-ARS and the Agriculture Experiment Stations of Idaho, Oregon,
and Washington. It was released by the USDA-ARS and the Agriculture
Experiment Stations of Idaho and Washington in October, 1982.
Crew is an awnless, semidwarf soft-white-winter club wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) multiline cultivar made up of a composite of 10
closely related wheat lines which have resistant to intermediate
resistant reactions to the prevalent U.S. races of stripe rust caused
by Puccinia striiformis West. The 10 lines are essentially backcross
derivatives. Their recurrent parents represent either 'Omar', (CI
13072) or semidwarf derivatives of Omar. Omar is a winter-type,
midseason to late, midtall, white-stemmed cultivar with very dense
(club), erect, awnleted, brown-glume spikes which have white, soft,
and short kernels. It has excellent soft wheat milling, baking and
physiochemical flour quality traits. Omar and the semidwarf
derivatives used to develop the components of Crew are susceptible to
prevalent races of the stripe rust pathogen. The nonrecurrent parents
of these components have resistance to stripe rust.
'Tyee' (CI 17773) and 'Faro' (CI 17590) are commercially grown
club wheat cultivars and comprise two of the components of Crew.
Their development and other pertinent information have been described
previously. Information on the development, morphology, agronomic,
disease, and quality traits of the other eight components (CI 17912 to
CI 17919) was recently reported.
The components of Crew are phenotypically similar except that CI
17773, CI 17916, and CI 17917 have white glumes, whereas the other
components have brown glumes. All components have awnlets that vary
from 5 to 40 mm. In some environments the components of Crew may vary
in plant height by 6 cm and in heading date by 6 days. Kernel weights
of the components may range from 23 to 30 mg.
Based on 6-site-years of field tests the components of Crew
represent three classes of stripe rust resistance, i.e., CI 17590, CI
17773, CI 17912, CI 27915 and CI 17917 (resistant); CI 17913, CI 17918
(moderately resistant) and CI 17914, CI 17916, and CI 17919
(intermediate). All components have resistance to one or more races
of stripe rust and four components express temperature sensitive
reactions to the stripe rust biotype CDL 7.
Unpublished information from our laboratory and elsewhere
suggests that a wide genetic base for specific resistance involving a
minimum of nine genes is represented among the 10 Crew components.
Until the release of Crew, the genetic base of resistance of U.S.
commercially grown club wheats was narrow because four of the five
resistant cultivars carried the same gene (Yr 10) for resistance.
CI 17912, CI 17916, and CI 17917, have been attacked less
severely by leaf rust caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f.
sp. tritici than the other components. CI 17912, CI 17915, CI 17917,
and CI 17919 have had lower severities of powdery mildew caused by
Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E. Marchal than the other
components.
Crew has shown less variability than its components for losses
caused by stripe rust, leaf rust, and powdery mildew. Comparisons
between triadimefon- treated and untreated plots at three tests showed
that the maximum loss suffered by Crew was 7% vs. losses of 9 to 27%
for its components (R.E. Allan, 1979, unpublished data).
Crew is moderately susceptible to strawbreaker foot rot caused by
Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides (Fron) Dei. and susceptible to
Cephalosporium stripe caused by Cephalosporium gramineum Nis. & Ika.
The components of Crew each possess 1 to 2 genes for resistance to
common bunt caused by Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul. and T. foetida
(Wall.) Liro.
Trials conducted during 1978 to 1982 in Washington and elsewhere
in the West based on 45 to 190 site-years of tests indicated that
average yields of Crew either exceeded or equalled those of
commercially grown club wheats except Tyee. Crew exceeded most other
semidwarf club wheat cultivars for volume weight by 1.0 to 3.0 kg/hL.
Crew is a one-gene, semidwarf and averages 7, 3, and 1 cm taller than
'Barbee', Faro and Tyee, respectively. Crew may suffer lodging
comparable to those cultivars. For stand establishment capability
from early deep sowings Crew is superior to Tyee and 'Daws', equal to
Faro and 'Nugaines', but poorer than 'Moro'. Crew has coldhardiness
similar to Faro and Moro, but is less hardy than Tyee and 'Jacmar'.
The milling, baking and physiochemical flour quality traits of Crew
are similar to Faro and have been rated as satisfactory by the ARS
Western Wheat Quality Laboratory, Pullman, Wash. and by the Pacific
Northwest Grain Council collaborative industry tests for domestic and
export market uses.
The initial breeder seed of Crew was composed of nearly equal
kernel number proportions of the 10 components. The kernel weight of
a component was used to determine its proportion by weight of the
initial blend. Crew is eligible for propagation under a seed
certification agreement of the Washington Crop Improvement Association
for only three generations from breeder seed, one each of foundation,
registered, and certified. Breeder and foundation seed of the 10
components of crew ill be maintained by the Washington State Crop
Improvement Association under the supervision of the Agronomy and
Soils Dep., Agric. Res. Ctr, Washington State Univ., Pullman, WA
99164.

Registration of Daws Wheat (Reg. No. 584).
C. J. Peterson, Jr., O. A. Vogel, D. W. George, G. L. Rubenthaler, and
R. E. Allan
'DAWS' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.), CI 17419, is a
semidwarf, soft white common winter cultivar developed cooperatively
by the ARS, USDA, and Washington State Agricultural Research Center.
Daws was released jointly by the Agricultural Experiment Stations of
Washington, Oregon, and Idaho and the ARS in 1976.
Selected in the F4 generation from the cross CI 14484/2/CI
13645/PI 178383 made at Pullman, Wash. in 1967, Daws has a bearded,
lax spike with long, midwide, white glumes. The kernels are
elliptical, white, soft, and midlong, with a shallow crease. The germ
is midsize. Daws is considerably more winterhardy than 'Nugaines', CI
13968, but not as hardy as 'Wanser', CI 13844. It emerges slower than
Nugaines.
Daws (WA 6099, VH 71349) was evaluated in the observation and
performance nurseries of Washington from 1971 to 1975. it was
included in the Western Regional Soft White Winter Wheat Nursery in
1974 and 1975. Grain yields of Daws have equalled or exceeded those
of Nugaines. The test weight of Daws is generally 1.3 kg/hl less than
that of Nugaines. Daws is resistant to local races of stripe rust
(Puccinia striiformis, West) and common bunt (Tilletia foctida (Walla)
Liro). It is susceptible to dwarf bunt (Tilletia controversa, Kuhn),
flag smut (Urocystis trica Koern.), leaf (Puccinia rubigo-vera (DC.)
Wint. f. sp. tritici) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritica,
Ericks. & Henn.), and Cercosporella foot rot (Cercosporella
herpotrichoides, Fron.). The milling characteristics of Daws are
similar to those of Nugaines. Daws produces satisfactory pastry-type
flour.
Daws is adapted to the wheat-growing area of northern Idaho,
eastern Oregon, and eastern Washington. Breeder and foundation seed
will be maintained by the Washington State Crop Improvement
Association under the supervision of the Agronomy and Soils
Department, Washington Agricultural Research Center and the USDA,
Pullman, WA 99163.

Registration of Dirkwin Wheat (Reg. No. 629).
D. W. Sunderman, M. M. Stearns, and Larry J. Smith
'DIRKWIN' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.), CI 17745, is a
soft white spring wheat selected as an F5 line from the cross
'Twin'/'Triple Dirk' made in 1968 at the Univ. of Idaho Aberdeen
Research and Extension Center. It was developed cooperatively by the
Idaho Agric. Exp. Stn. and AR-SEA-USDA. Dirkwin was tested in the
1963 to 1977 Idaho yield trials and the 1975 to 1977 Western Regional
Spring Wheat Nursery as IDO106. It was released jointly by the Idaho
and Oregon Agric. Exp. Stns. and AR-SEA-USDA in 1978.
Dirkwin is a semidwarf, medium-maturing wheat with straw strength
and height similar to that of Twin. Spikes of Dirkwin are awnless,
fusiform to oblong, middense, and erect to inclined at maturity.
Glumes are glabrous, white, long and wide with midwide oblique
shoulders. Beaks are midwide and obtuse. The kernels are soft,
white, short to midlong, and ovate with a narrow to midwide, shallow
crease which shows occasional pitting. The kernels have rounded
cheeks and a midsized, midlong brush.
Dirkwin, resistant to the prevalent races of stripe rust (caused
by Puccinia striiformis West.) present in the Pacific Northwest,
carries the same major gene for stripe rust resistance as that carried
by Twin. It is resistant to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita
Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici) race UN 17, susceptible to UN 6 and UN
13, and resistant to moderately resistant to powdery mildew (caused by
Erysiphe graminis D.C. ex. Merat f. sp. tritici). Dirkwin, similar to
Twin in most agronomic characteristics and in stripe rust resistance,
was released to provide growers with a cultivar resistant to leaf rust
and powdery mildew.
The average yield of Dirkwin has been about 5% higher than that
of 'Fielder,' 'Fieldwin,' or Twin in northern Idaho yield trials,
about 5% lower in the southern Idaho irrigated trials and similar in
the southern Idaho dryland trials. Grain test weight of Dirkwin is
significantly lower than that of Fielder and Fieldwin and slightly
lower than that of Twin. Pastry quality of Dirkwin is satisfactory
and similar to that of Twin.
Breeder seed of Dirkwin will be maintained by the Univ. of Idaho
Tetonia Research and Extension Center, P.O. Box 743, Rexburg, ID
83440.

Registration of Druchamp Wheat (Reg. No. 445).
Wilson H. Foote
'DRUCHAMP' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) CI 13273 is a soft,
white winter wheat developed in France and introduced into western
Oregon by the Burlingham-Meeker Seed Company, Amity, Oregon, in 1949.
Druchamp originated from a cross of 'Vilmorin 27' X 'Fleche d' Or.'
Trials at Corvallis, Oregon as well as satisfactory yields
obtained by farmers indicated that Druchamp was well adapted to the
Willamette Valley of Oregon. Comparative performance data for
Druchamp, 'Alba' (Redmond), 'Gaines,' and 'White Holland' are given in
Table 1.
Druchamp has a winter habit of growth and is midseason to late in
maturity. It has short, strong straw and an awnletted, oblong, mid-
dense to dense spike. The glumes are glabrous, white, long, and wide.
Druchamp kernels are white, mid-long, soft, and ovate to oval. The
germ is mid-sized, crease mid-wide to wide and mid-deep and the cheeks
rounded. Druchamp is highly resistant to the prevalent races of
stripe rust, but susceptible to common bunt.
The outstanding characteristics of Druchamp are its resistance to
stripe rust, strong straw and high yields under western Oregon
conditions. Foundation seed was distributed to a grower in 1963 and
registered seed to growers in 1964. The Oregon Agricultural
Experiment Station will maintain breeder seed.
Additional information about Druchamp has been published by
Briggle and Reitz.

Registration of Dusty Winter Wheat (Reg. No. 723).
C. J. Peterson, Jr., R. E. Allan, G. L. Rubenthaler, K. J. Morrison,
and O. A. Vogel
'DUSTY' (Reg. no. 723) (PI 486429) is a soft white semidwarf
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar developed cooperatively
by the USDA-ARS and the Washington State University Agricultural
Research Center at Pullman, WA. Dusty was released jointly by the
Agriculture Experiment Stations of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, and
the USDA-ARS, in 1985.
Dusty (WA006912, VHO74575) was selected in the F4 generation from
the cross 'Brevor'/CI15923/2/'Nugaines'. It has an awned, lax spike
with long, midwide, white glumes. The kernels are elliptical, white,
soft, and midlong, with a shallow crease. The germ is midsize. Dusty
has moderate winterhardiness, moderately weak straw, and is medium
late in heading.
Dusty was included in the Western Regional Soft White Winter
Wheat Nursery from 1982 to 1985. Grain yield of Dusty averaged 4700
kg/ha for 63 location-years of tests and Dusty produced 4.6, 2.3, and
11.7% more grain than 'Daws', 'Stephens', and Nugaines, respectively.
Volume weight of Dusty has averaged 2% below that of 'Lewjain' and
tends to decrease more than that of Lewjain when subjected to water
stress. The USDA-ARS Western Wheat Quality Laboratory has shown that
the milling and flour quality characteristics of Dusty are similar to
that of Daws.
Dusty is resistant to the local races of common bunt (caused by
Tilletia foetida Wall. Liro). it has adult resistance to stripe rust
(caused by Puccinia striiformis West). Dusty is susceptible to
strawbreaker foot rot [caused by Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides
(Fron) Dei.], dwarf bunt [caused by Tilletia controversa Kuhn), leaf
rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici
Eriks), and stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp.
tritici ERicks and Henn). It is moderately resistant to
Cephalosporium stripe (caused by Cephalosporium gramineum Nis .&
Ika.), and flag smut [caused by Urocystis agropyri (Preuss) Schroet.].
Dusty is adapted to the wheat growing areas of Idaho, eastern
Oregon, and eastern Washington. Breeder and foundation seed will be
maintained by the Washington State Crop Improvement Association under
the supervision of the Agronomy and Soils Department, College of
Agriculture and Home Economics Research Center, Washington State
University and the Agricultural Research Service, Pullman, WA 99164.

REGISTRATION OF ELMAR WHEAT (Reg. No. 387)
E. G. Heyne
ELMAR, CI 12392, is a soft, white, club, winter wheat. It was
developed cooperatively by the Washington Agricultural Experiment
Station and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, and was released
by the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho in 1949. Elmar is a
single selection made in the third generation of the cross (Hymar-
Elgin X Elgin) X Elgin, designed to combine the Hymar smut resistance
with the Elgin type plant. S. P. Swenson applied for registration.
Soon after its release in 1949, it became the most widely used
variety in the Pacific Northwest because of its resistance to the
generally prevalent races of common and dwarf bunt. However, with the
change in races of both common and dwarf bunt, it is now largely
replaced by Omar (Reg. No. 377).
Elmar is practically identical with Elgin in plant
characteristics and yield. It has short, stiff, white straw; and
white, soft kernels. It has good milling and baking properties for
pastry flour.

REGISTRATION OF ERECT WHEAT (Reg. No. 318)
J. A. Clark
ERECT (Utah Q-231, C. I. No. 11544) was produced at the Utah
Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperative experiments with the
Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. s.
Dept. of Agriculture, from a cross between Dicklow and Hard
Federation. The cross was made in 1920 and the selection from which
Erect descended was made in 1930. The breeders, D. C. Tingey and R.
W. Woodward, applied for its registration.
Erect is a soft white spring wheat. It has strong erect straw,
is extremely uniform and high yielding, and has good quality of soft
white grain. Seed was first distributed for commercial growing in
1934. Some of the comparative data upon which registration is based
are shown in Table 2.

* The test was conducted on land recently rented, and the soil was
so variable that the test was not reliable.
Additional data were presented on lodging, date of heading,
height, test weight, protein content, carotene and ash content,
milling, bread and cake making, and cooky tests. These data were
favorable for Erect, indicating superior characters for strength of
straw and for pastry flour.

Registration of Faro Wheat (Reg. No. 607).
C. R. Rohde, W. B. Locke, W. E. Kronstad, M. F. Kolding, and R. J.
Metzger
'FARO', CI 17590, Oregon selection OR 7147, is a soft white club
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) selected from the cross
CI 13748/'Moro'. CI 13748 was a selection from 'Suwon 92'/3* 'Omar'.
Faro was selected as an F3 line in 1971 and was released in 1976 by
the Oregon and Washington Agric. Exp. Stns. in cooperation with FR-
SEA-USDA.
Faro is resistant to local races of stripe rust (Puccinia
striiformis, West), to some races of common bunt (Tilletia foetida
(Wallr.) Liro or T. caries (De.) Tul.), and to some races of dwarf
bunt (Tilletia controversa, Kuhn). Faro is susceptible to leaf rust
(Puccinia ribigo-vera (DC.) Wint. f. sp. tritici). The spike of Faro
is very dense and awnleted; the glumes are brown, midlong and midwide;
the shoulders are midwide and generally oblique; the beaks are
midwide, obtuse, 0.5 mm long; the awnlets are wanting to few, 1 to 3
mm. long; kernels are ovate, white, soft and short with middeep crease
and a small germ. Phenotypically, Faro is nearly indistinguishable
from 'Paha' with slightly fewer kernels per spike. Faro is similar to
Moro in maturity and winterhardiness. Seedling emergence is good but
inferior to Moro. The plant height is medium short usually 10 to 18
cm shorter than Moro. Faro is much more resistant to lodging than
Moro.
Faro was tested in yield trials in several locations in eastern
Oregon from 1973 to 1976 and was included in the Western Regional Soft
White Winter Wheat Nursery from 1974 to 1976. Grain yields of Faro
consistently exceeded that of 'Paha', CI 14485, averaging 7% higher
during the period 1973-1976 in eastern Oregon. These tests have shown
that the test weight of its grain is similar to that of Moro.
Milling and baking properties of Faro have been evaluated by the
Western Wheat Quality Laboratory, AR, SEA, USDA, Pullman, WA and were
found to be very good being similar to that of Paha. Faro produces an
excellent pastry-type flour.
Faro is adapted for growing in the lower precipitation areas (15
to 35 cm) of eastern Oregon and eastern Washington. Breeder seed is
maintained by the Columbia Basin Agric. Research Center, Oregon State
Univ., Pendleton, OR 97801.

Registration of Fielder Wheat (Reg. No. 554).
D. W. Sunderman and Bernard Bruinsma
FIELDER (CI 17268) is a soft white spring wheat, which was
released jointly by the ARS and the Idaho, Oregon, and Wash. Agr Exp.
Stns. in 1974.
Fielder was selected from the cross 'Yaktana 54A'*4/2/'Norin
10'/'Brevor'/2/2*'Yaqui 50'/4/Norin 10/Brevor/2/'Baart'/'Onas' made at
the Aberdeen branch of the Idaho Agr. Exp. Stn. in 1965. The variety
evolved from a single F4 line selected in 1968. It has been in Idaho
yield trials since 1969 and in the western regional spring wheat
nursery since 1971.
Fielder is a semidwarf, stiff-strawed variety of medium maturity.
Straw height under irrigation averages 89 cm. Spikes of Fielder are
erect to inclined, awned, oblong to fusiform, and middense. Glumes
are white, long, and midwide; shoulders narrow and oblique to square;
beaks narrow, acuminate, and 2 to 5-mm long. Kernels are soft, white,
ovate, and midlong; crease midwide and middeep; cheeks rounded; brush
midsized, and short to midlong.
Fielder is resistant to the prevalent races of stripe, stem, and
leaf rust found in Idaho. It is moderately resistant to powdery
mildew. Yields of Fielder and 'twin' grown under irrigation in
southern Idaho are similar. However, on nonirrigated land in northern
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, Fielder has produced slightly higher
yields than Twin. Its test weight has exceeded those of Twin and
'Springfield' by about 2.6 kg/hl. Fielder has satisfactory milling
and pastry characteristics.
Breeder seed of all four wheat cultivars will be maintained by
the University of Idaho at the Tetonia Branch Exp. Stn.

Registration of Fieldwin Wheat (Reg. No. 604).
D. W. Sunderman, M. M. Stearns, L. J. Smith, D. A. Wood, and S. Von
Der Lieth
'FIELDWIN' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) CI 17425, is a soft
white spring wheat released jointly by the FR-SEA-USDA and the Idaho,
Oregon, and Colorado Agric. Exp. Stns. in 1977.
Fieldwin was selected from the cross of Yaktana 54A'*4/2/'Norin
10'/'Brevor'/3/2*'Yaqui 50'/4/Norin 10/Brevor/2/'Baart'/'Onas' made at
the Aberdeen Research and Extension Center of the Idaho Agric. Exp.
Stn. in 1965. The cultivar resulted from a single F5 line selected in
1969. It has been evaluated in Idaho yield trials since 1970 and in
the Western Regional Spring Wheat Nursery since 1974.
Fieldwin was selected from the same cross as 'Fielder'. Although
similar in appearance, it averages 3 cm taller and 1 day later in
maturity than Fielder. The average height of Fieldwin grown under
irrigation in southern Idaho is 83 cm, with a range of 68 to 96 cm.
Individual plants of Fieldwin may vary as much as 5 cm in height. It
is a stiff-strawed cultivar with spikes that are erect to inclined,
awned, fusiform to oblong and middense. Glumes are white, midlong and
midwide; shoulders are narrow and oblique to square, beaks narrow,
acuminate and 2 to 6 mm long. Kernels are soft, white, ovate and
midlong; crease midwide and middeep; cheeks rounded; brush midsized,
and short to midlong.
Fieldwin is moderately resistant to the prevalent races of stripe
(Puccinia striiformis West) stem (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp.
tritici), and leaf (Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm., f. sp. tritici)
Rust and powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis DC. ex Merat f. sp tritici)
found in Idaho; however, it is susceptible to a race of stripe rust
first reported in Washington in 1975. Yields of Fielder, 'Twin', and
Fieldwin have been similar when grown under fertility and irrigation
practices resulting in intermediate yields but under ideal conditions
the yields of Fieldwin has average 7% and 11% higher than those of
Fielder and Twin, respectively. Fieldwin has had a slightly higher
test weight than Fielder. It has satisfactory milling and pastry
characteristics.
Breeder seed will be maintained by the Univ. of Idaho Research
and Extension Center at Tetonia, ID 83452.

Registration of Frankenmuth Wheat (Reg. No. 709).
E.H. Everson, R.D. Freed, P.K. Zwer, L.W. Morrison, B.L. Marchetti,
J.L. Clayton, R.L. Gallun, and W.T. Yamazaki.
'FRANKENMUTH' (CI17830) a soft white winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) (Reg. no. 709) was developed at Michigan State University
Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with USDA-ARS, and was
released in 1979. It was tested in Michigan and regionally as
Michigan-B2218 and MO290. It is named for Frankenmuth, MI, the site
of one of the early grist mills established in 1871. Frankenmuth was
released because of its good pest resistance, broad adaptation,
excellent agronomic performance, and milling and baking quality.
Frankenmuth was a F5 selection of a 1967 cross of 'Norin
10'/'Brevor'14/2/'Yorkwin'/3/2*'Genesee',A3141/4/Genesee*3/'Redcoat',A
5115. Selections were made in F3 and F5 headrows for plant type,
height, powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal), leaf rust (Puccinia recondita Rob ex Desm f. sp tritici),
and Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)] resistance; in F5 for
those characters plus winterhardiness were further evaluated; in F5
headrows for milling and baking quality. The line was purified in the
F10 when approximately 400 headrows were selected from a total of 500,
on the basis of Hessian fly and leaf rust resistance, plant height,
and glume and kernel color. Seed from each of the 400 headrows was
increased in 5.3 m2 plots, rechecked for glume color, plant height,
maturity, and kernel color, and bulked for breeder's seed.
Frankenmuth was evaluated in Michigan in advanced nurseries from
1973 to 1978 and in the Eastern Uniform Soft White Winter Wheat Trials
from 1976 to 1978. In 42 nurseries at eight locations in Michigan,
its yield surpassed Genesee and 'Arthur' by 14 and 16%, respectively.
Milling and baking qualities were evaluated from 1971 through 1979 at
the USDA Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, OARDC, Wooster, OH.
Frankenmuth has kernel size and test weight equal to Genesee. It has
excellent soft wheat milling and baking qualities.
Frankenmuth is an awnless soft white winter wheat with a slight
tendency to have awnlets on the apical spikelets. It has brown glumes
at maturity and a rather large head, tapering slightly toward the
apex. Frankenmuth heads at the same time as 'Augusta' and 6 days
later than Arthur. It has averaged 1.04 m in height. The soft white
cultivar closest in appearance is 'Yorkstar', however, Frankenmuth is
about 0.03 m taller in straw height and tends to be about 0.32 kg/hL
higher in test weight. It is very similar to augusta in plant and
seed characteristics, but is about 0.03 m taller and has brown colored
chaff compared to white chaff for Augusta. It has resistance to races
A and C of Hessian fly compared to none for Augusta and Yorkstar.
Frankenmuth has good field resistance to leaf rust. It possesses
slow rusting and hypersensitive (halo around pustule) genes for
resistance. Frankenmuth has good field resistance to races of powdery
mildew, occurring naturally in Michigan. It has resistance to
biotypes A and C of Hessian fly conferred by the H3 gene.
Variety protection (Certificate no. 8000165) has been granted
under the Plant Variety Protection Act, Public Law 91=577, in
accordance with the certified seed option, which specifies that it
maybe 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.
The authors gratefully acknowledge the expert assistance of the
technical staff of the Small Grain Insect Pest Research Laboratory,
USDA-ARS, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, and the technical
staff of the Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory, USDA-ARS, OARDC, Wooster,
OH.

Registration of Gaines Wheat (Reg. No. 425).
O. A. Vogel
'GAINES' (Triticum aestivum L.) CI 13448, is a semidwarf soft
white winter wheat developed by Washington State University and the
Crops Research Division, ARS, U.S. Department of Agriculture. It was
released in 1961 cooperatively by the Crops Research Division, ARS,
USDA, and the Washington, Oregon, and Idaho Agricultural Experiment
Stations.
Gaines is Selection 9 from the cross [ (Norin 10 X Brevor)-14 X
(Orfed X Hybrid 50)-3] X Burt. The final selection was made at
Pullman, Washington, in 1956. It was named in honor of the late E. F.
Gaines, Cerealist at Washington State University from 1913 to 1944.
Gaines is a white-chaff awned variety, medium-tall semidwarf with
medium-small diameter stem and medium-small leaves. It is highly
resistant to lodging, shattering, all known races of common bunt, and
most races of dwarf bunt. It has fair field resistance to stripe rust
and powdery mildew.
Gaines appears to be widely adapted in the Pacific Northwest. At
soil fertility levels generally used for standard-height varieties, it
usually yielded 5 to 20% higher than the highest yielding commercial
varieties. However, on well-managed, highly productive soils these
differences occasionally exceeded 50%. Additional information on
performance and management has been published.
Seed stocks in the 3 states were increased from 75 bushels
planted in the fall of 1960 to considerably over 700,000 bushels of
certified and registered seed harvested in 1962. Registered seed
growers established record yields under a wide variety of management
systems. The highest yield, presumably a world record, was 155.5
bushels per acre near Quincy, Washington, on 11 acres of irrigated
land. Practically all seed produced in 1962 was planted, covering an
estimated total of nearly a million acres in the 3 Pacific Northwest
states.
Gaines has fair milling qualities and good flour qualities for
pastries, cookies, and other soft wheat products.

REGISTRATION OF GENESEE WHEAT (Reg. No. 391)
E. G. Heyne
GENESEE, CI 12653, is a soft white winter wheat developed by
Cornell University and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, and was
distributed in 1950. Neal F. Jensen made the application for
registration.
This variety is a selection from the cross Yorkwin X Honor-
Forward made in 1937. The final selection was made in 1941 by H. H.
Love and N. F. Jensen.
One advantage of Genesee is its good yield. In 58 comparisons
over 8 years in New York, Genesee yielded an average of 39.6 bushels
per acre compared with 37.6 for Cornell 595 and 35.9 for Yorkwin. In
addition, Genesee is resistant to loose smut and shattering. In 1959,
it was the dominant variety in New York, Michigan, and Ontario.
Genesee has a winter habit of growth and midseason maturity; is
midtall in height; has a midstrong, white stem; the awnletted spike is
fusiform with brown glumes; and the kernels are soft and white.

Registration of Geneva Winter Wheat (Reg. No. 722).
M. E. Sorrells and N. F. Jensen
'GENEVA' is a soft white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Reg. no. 722) (PI 505819) developed and released by the Cornell
Agricultural Experiment Station for production in the northeastern
USA. It was developed using the bulk method of breeding with
selection in early generations for white kernel color and large
kernels. The pureline originated as a single plant selection from an
F5 bulk population of the 1961 cross, 'Ross Selection'/3/(NY5207aB-2B-
34) 'Burt'/2/'Genesee'/CI 12658/4/Genesee. Ross Selection is a
cultivar introduced from Germany by Carl Ross in the early 1950s. It
is believed to by synonymous with 'Heine's VII' based on plant
morphology and electrophoretic mobility of gliadin seed proteins (R.L.
Clements, 1986, personal communication). Geneva was tested in state
and regional trials as NY 6120-15. It has been tested in New York
since 1968 and first entered the Uniform Eastern Soft White Winter
Wheat Nursery in 1979.
Geneva reaches anthesis 3 to 5 days earlier than other soft white
winter wheat cultivars grown in New York, but matures about the same
time. Geneva has yellow-green stems and leaves at booting and hollow
white stems at maturity. At booting the flag leaf is erect and
straight, and the stems have a waxy-bloom. Spikes are middense,
fusiform, apically awnletted, and average 9 cm in length. Glumes are
bronze in color, wide, and have a rounded shoulder and an obtuse beak.
Kernels are ovate, have rounded cheeks and a medium brush, and average
6.6 mm in length.
In 8 yr of regional testing in New York State, Geneva has yielded
about 5% more grain than the mean of the most poplar cultivars,
'Houser', 'Frankenmuth', and 'Purcell'. Winterhardiness is similar to
Houser, and both are consistently among the most winterhardy under New
York State growing conditions. Test weight averages 77 kg/hL, 4%
above the mean of current cultivars. Plant height is similar to
Houser and Purcell, and averages 98 cm. Lodging resistance is better
than Houser and Frankenmuth, but slightly poorer than Purcell. Milling
and baking characteristics are among the best for soft white winter
wheats as determined by the USDA Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory,
Wooster, OH. In a 5-yr summary of New York State regional trials,
milling quality scores (as a percent of the standard) average 106,
100, and 94% for Geneva, Houser, and Frankenmuth, respectively. In
the same trials, baking quality scores averaged 103, 101, and 100 for
Geneva, Houser, and Frankenmuth, respectively.
Geneva is resistant to loose smut [caused by Ustilago tritici
(Pers.) Rostr.], and has the Sr10 gene for resistance to stem rust
(caused by Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. and Henn.).
Geneva is susceptible to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob.
ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici), stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis
West.), common bunt [caused by Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul.], and dwarf
bunt (caused by T. controversa Khun); and moderately susceptible to
powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal).
The generation sequence of seed production will be breeder,
foundation, and certified. Cultivar protection has been applied for
under the Plant Variety Protection Act, Public Law 91-577. Geneva was
approved for release in 1983 and breeder seed was planted for increase
that year. Certified seed was made available to farmers in the fall
of 1986. Breeder and foundation seed will be maintained by the New
York Seed Improvement Cooperative, 249 Emerson Hall, Cornell
University, Ithaca, NY 14853.

Registration of Hill 81 Wheat (Reg. No. 664).
W. E. Kronstad, R. J. Metzger, W. L. McCuistion, N. H. Scott, C. R.
Rohde, and M. F. Kolding
'HILL 81' (Triticum aestivum L.) CI 14954 is a soft white common
winter wheat. It is midtall, midseason in heading with white stiff
straw. The spike is awned, fusiform, middense, and inclined. Glumes
are white, glabrous, midlong, midwide with wanting shoulders. Awns
are 3 to 8 cm long; beaks 3 to 4 mm long. Kernels are white, midlong,
elliptical with a midsized germ. The crease is narrow to midwide and
cheeks are rounded.
Hill 81 was developed by the Oregon Experiment Station in
cooperation with USDA-ARS, from a cross between 'Yamhill' and 'Hyslop'
made in 1968. Hill 81, identified as OWW68007-2M6, was obtained from
bulked F3 head rows derived from individual F2 plants. Following
replicated yield tests, phenotypically similar F6 head rows from the
F5 population were bulked in 1975 and tested further. Head rows
obtained from the F9 generation were reselected for seed increase.
Hill 81 had moderate adult plant resistance to the current field
races of stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis West and leaf rust
caused by Puccinia rubigo-vera (De.) Wint. F. Sp. tritici (Eriks.)
Carl. The cultivar is moderately susceptible to both powdery mildew
caused by Erysiphe graminis De. F. Sp. tritici Em. Marchal and
Septoria caused by Septoria tritici Rob. in Desm.; however, yield
reductions from these two diseases are not severe because of the
greater height and later heading and maturity date of the cultivar.
it has adequate resistance to bunt caused by Tilletia caries and T.
Foetida but is susceptible to Strawbreaker foot rot caused by
Cercosporella herpotrichoides.
Hill 81 has a rapid emergence rate, a high level of
winterhardiness, efficient uptake of phosphorus, and excellent straw
strength. Data from the Western Regional Soft White Winter Wheat
Performance Nursery indicates wide adaptation to the winter wheat
growing areas of the Pacific Northwest. In the high rainfall areas of
Western Oregon, the cultivar has a distinct yield advantage over all
other wheat cultivars grown commercially in that area.
The USDA Western Wheat Quality Laboratory in Pullman, Wash., has
identified Hill 81 as having excellent overall quality characteristics
equal or superior to the commonly grown soft white winter wheat
cultivars.
Foundation seed will be made available in the fall of 1983.
Breeder seed is being maintained by the Crop Science Dept., Oregon
State Univ., Corvallis, OR 97331.

Registration of Houser Wheat (Reg. No. 618).
Neal F. Jensen
'HOUSER' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.), CI 17736, is a
soft white winter wheat developed by the Cornell University
Agricultural Experiment Station. Houser is a pure line selection
(formerly NY 5954-36) from the following 1959 Ithaca hybrid: 'Brevor'
/ 'Norin 10' /2/ NY wheat-rye selection /3/ 'Hope-Hussar' CI 11682 /
'Yorkwin' /4/ 'Genesee' /2/ CI 12658 / 'Alaskan' /3/ 'Avon'.
The first awned wheat cultivar introduced by the Cornell station
(awnless cultivars have long dominated northeastern production),
Houser's outstanding characteristics are superior yield in a medium-
short, lodging resistant plant and quick recovery after a hard winter.
It has a winter habit of growth and is midseason in maturity. Houser
is 8 to 10 cm shorter than 'Yorkstar' and 'Arrow' and abut 2 cm taller
than 'Ticonderoga'; it has shown excellent field standability beyond
normal crop maturity dates. The head is medium-long and awned with
white chaff. The nodding aspect of the head at maturity, plus the
presence of awns, may provide some resistance to field sprouting. The
kernels of Houser are mid-long, soft, white, plump, and ovate to oval;
the crease is mid-wide and mid-deep with rounded to angular cheeks.
Houser has excellent resistance to loose smut [caused by Ustilago
tritici (Pers.) Rostr.] and moderate field resistance to powdery
mildew [caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Em. Marchal]
but is susceptible to common bunt [caused by Tilletia caries (DC.)
Tul.], to dwarf bunt [caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f.
sp. tritici]. Test weight is moderately low but essentially equal to
that of Yorkstar and Ticonderoga. Milling and baking characteristics
are excellent and comparable to other Cornell soft white cultivars as
determined by quality tests conducted by AR-SEA-USDA, Soft Wheat
Quality Laboratory, OARDC, Wooster, Ohio.
Yield performance of Houser is 18 tests over a 10-year period at
Ithaca show that Houser exceeded the average of Yorkstar, Arrow, and
Ticonderoga by 7%.
The generation sequence of seed production will be Breeder,
Foundation, and Certified. Cultivar protection has been applied for
under the Plant Variety Production Act, Public Law 91-577. If
granted, Houser may be sold only as a class of certified seed and must
be labeled as a protected cultivar. Houser was approved for release
in 1977 and approximately 20 acres were sown for 1978 harvest.
Breeder seed will be maintained by the Cornell University Agricultural
Experiment Station.
Houser is named in honor of the late Prof. Harry Houser Love, the
breeder of Yorkwin, Cornell 595 and Genesee wheats, and many other
small grain cultivars at the Ithaca station.

Registration of Hyak Wheat (Reg. No. 749).
R.E. Allan, C.J. Peterson, Jr., G.L. Rubenthaler, R.F. Line and D.E.
Roberts
'HYAK' (Reg. no. 749, PI 511674) is a club type soft-white winter
(SWW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar developed by USDA-ARS
Wheat Genetics, Quality, Physiology, and Disease Research Unit at
Pullman, WA. It was jointly released by USDA-ARS and the Agricultural
Experiment Stations of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon in January 1988.
Hyak was selected in 1980 from an F2-derived F3 line from the
cross VPM1/'Moisson' 421/2/2*'Tyee'. Hyak is an early maturing one-
gene semidwarf (Rht2). Spikes of Hyak are elliptical, very dense, and
erect with awnlets that range from 2 to 20 mm at the spike apex.
Glumes are glabrous, white, midlong, midwide; shoulders oblique to
rounded; and beaks midwide, acute, 0.5 to 1.5 mm in length. Kernels
of Hyak are white, soft, short, ovate to oval; germ small; crease
midwide, middeep; cheeks rounded; and brush midsized; short to
midlong.
Hyak expresses moderately high resistance to strawbreaker foot
rot [caused by Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides (Fron) Deighton].
Its resistance is presumably inherited from VPM1 and derived from T.
ventricosum. A gene for strawbreaker resistance was shown to be
closely associated with EP-V1 endopeptidase gene on the long arm of
7D. Hyak is homogeneous for the EP-V1 allele.
In eight replicated trials of disease (inoculated with P.
herpotrichoides) vs. control plots (sprayed with benomyl fungicide)
conducted during 1981 to 1988, Hyak, Tyee, 'Stephens', 'Daws', and
'Nugaines' had mean strawbreaker induced losses of 4, 26, 24, 31, and
43%, respectively. Significant (P < 0.05) yield reductions occurred
in 2 of the 8 trials for Hyak, while Tyee, Stephens, Daws, and
Nugaines had significant losses in 7, 7, 7, and 8 trials,
respectively. The overall mean yields of Hyak, tyee, stephens, daws,
and nugaines in strawbreaker inoculated trials were 6680, 5280, 5280,
5190, and 4100 kg ha-1, respectively.
In Washington State trials where strawbreaker was not a factor,
Hyak (WA7166) has usually yielded within + 1% of semidwarf club SWW
cultivars and + 6% of common SWW cultivars. In 118 Washington trials
during 1983 to 1988, the mean yields of Hyak, 'Crew', and 'Tres' (club
SWW) averaged 4800, 4770, and 4820 kg ha-1, respectively. Nugaines,
Stephens, Daws, and 'Lewjain' (common SWW) had means of 4570, 4620,
4840, and 5070 kg ha-1, respectively. In 32 regional trials Hyak,
Tres, Nugaines, Stephens, and 'Dusty' have averaged 5250, 5250, 5110,
5920 and 5990 kg ha-1, respectively.
The grain volume weight of Hyak (781 kg m-3) has been similar to
Crew (777 kg m-3), greater than Tyee (765 kg m-3) but less than Tres
(797 kg m-3) when averaged across 16 test-yr. Hyak is similar in
plant height to Tres. Like other semidwarf clubs, Hyak may lodge
under conditions conducive to lodging, such as irrigation. The
vulnerability of Hyak to lodging is comparable to Tyee but less than
Tres. Hyak heads about 3 d earlier than Tres or similar to Stephens.
It is comparable to Tres for emergence properties but inferior to
Stephens. Hyak is moderately coldhardy and resists shattering. During
1980 to 1987, Hyak has expressed field resistance to the prevalent
northwestern USA biotypes of stripe rust (caused by Puccinia
striiformis west.); leaf rust (caused by P. recondita Rob. ex
tritici); and stem rust (caused by P. graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici
Eriks & Henn.) It is susceptible to powdery mildew (caused by
Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E. Marshal); flag smut (caused by
Urocystis agropyri [Preuss.] Schroet.); cephalosporium stripe (caused
by Cephalosporium gramineum Nir. & Ika.); and most races of Tilletia
tritici (Bjerk.) Wint, T. laevis Kuhn,. and T. controversa Kuhn.
The USDA-ARS Western Wheat Quality Laboratory has rated Hyak as
satisfactory to very satisfactory for overall club SWW quality traits
during 1984 to 1986 evaluations. Hyak is similar to Tres for cookie
diameter, sponge cake score, and flour yield . It is like Moro for
cake, volume and noodle score.
Breeder and foundation seed of Hyak is maintained by Washington
Crop Improvement Association under the auspice of the Agronomy and
Soils Department, Washington Agricultural Research Center, Washington
State University, Pullman, WA 99164.

Registration of Hyslop Wheat (Reg. No. 512).
Warren E. Kronstad, Wilson H. Foote, Mathias F. Kolding, and Charles
R. Rohde
'HYSLOP' (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell), CI 14564 is a soft
white wheat developed by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station
from a cross between 'Nord Desprez' and Pullman Selection 101 (CI
13438) with an additional backcross to Pullman Selection 101. The
original selection was made from an F3 row with further selections
being made from F6 head rows. After further testing, head rows were
re-selected in 1967 for seed increase. Hyslop was released in 1971.
Hyslop is semidwarf with white, stiff straw. Spikes are awned,
oblong, erect to inclined with glabrous, white, midwide glumes. The
shoulders are wanting with acuminate beaks 2 to 10 mm long. Kernels
are white, midlong, soft, and ovate and have a small germ and a
narrow, deep crease.
Hyslop is adapted to the winter wheat growing areas of the
Pacific Northwest where severe winter killing is not a factor.
Agronomic data for Hyslop and three commercial varieties are provided
in Table 1. Hyslop had the highest average yield in the Uniform
Regional White Wheat Nursery in 1969, 1970 and 1971.
Hyslop carries the 'Martin' and 'Turkey' factors for resistance
to common bunt and appears to be heterogeneous for the 'Ridit' factor.
It is resistant to the prevalent races of stripe rust and moderately
resistant reactions have been noted for powdery mildew, leaf blotch,
and leaf rust. Hyslop is moderately susceptible to flag smut.
Hyslop has been identified by the Western Regional Quality
Laboratory as having milling and baking properties either equal to or
superior to the recommended soft white common varieties currently in
production.

REGISTRATION OF IDAED WHEAT (Reg. No. 378)
E. G. Heyne
IDAED, CI 11706, a soft, white, spring wheat, was developed in
the coordinated wheat improvement program of the state agricultural
experiment stations in the western region and the Crops Research
Division, ARS, USDA. V. H. Florell (USDA) and C. A. Michels (Idaho)
conducted the breeding and selection work resulting in this variety.
Two Australian varieties (Sunset X Boadicea) were crossed in 1920 and
carried in bulk until 1927. A selection, number 20172V11-4. appeared
promising at Moscow, Idaho, in 1931 and was increased by the Idaho
Agricultural Experiment Station and released in 1938. K. H. Klages
applied for registration.
The superior characteristics of Idaed are good quality, early
maturity, and high yield potential. Yield data for Idaed and several
other varieties, prior to its release in 1938, are given in table 1.
At present (1958), the variety is grown on about 200,000 acres in
Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, mainly on dry land.
The description of Idaed is as follows: Spring habit of growth;
early to mature; the culms are short, midstrong and white; the spikes
are awnless, fusiform to oblong; the glumes are glabrous and white;
and the kernels are white, short and vary in texture from soft to
semi-hard.

Registration of Ionia Wheat (Reg. No. 517).
E. H. Everson, A. H. Ellingboe, R. Gallun, and W. T. Yamazaki
'IONIA,' Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell., CI 14469, is a soft
white winter wheat developed by compositing four pure lines (A5127,
A5131, A5132, A5134) that were selected in the F4 generation from a
cross 'Redcoat'/3*'Genessee' made at East Lansing, Mich. in 1959.
The individual lines were grown in Michigan yield tests for 4
years, and as a composite for 2 years, before release. The lines and
composite had 4 years of quality tests and 4 years of Hessian fly
tests before release. It was entered in the Uniform Eastern Soft
Wheat Nursery in 1968. Ionia was developed cooperatively by the
Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station and the Plant Science
Research and Entomology Divisions of the Agricultural Research
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. It was released to
foundation seed growers in the fall of 1969 by the Michigan
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Description: Plant winter habit, midseason, midtall; stem white,
strong; spike awnleted, oblong, middense, erect; glumes glabrous,
brown, midlong, midwide; shoulders midwide, square; beaks midwide,
obtuse, 0.5 mm long; awnlets light brown, 2 to 2.5 mm long; kernels
white, short to midlong, soft, ovate; germ midsized to large; crease
wide, middeep; cheeks rounded; brush midsized, midlong.
Ionia is resistant to the leaf rust races prevalent in Michigan
at the time of release. It is also resistant to Race A of Hessian fly
having the W-38 type of resistance. It is susceptible to powdery
mildew, and stem rust races prevalent in Michigan.
Ionia has the height of Genesse but slightly stronger straw. It
has the same winterhardiness of Genesee but averages 10% above Genesee
in yield.
Ionia has the same test weight and is similar to Genesee in
milling and baking properties. It is a low protein, soft white wheat
suitable for pastry flour.
Breeder seed is maintained by the Michigan Agricultural
Experiment Station, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Mich.

Registration of Kenhi Wheat (Reg. No. 431).
W. E. Smith and J. E. Fitzsimmons
'KENHI', Triticum aestivum L., CI 13628, is a soft white spring
wheat selection from the cross Kenya 338 AC2 E3 X Lehmi*2 made in
1950. The final selection, H-54-121, was made in 1957 in the F9
generation. This selection was made from various lines which were
tested in rust nurseries in Edmonton and Winnipeg and experimental
plots in southern Alberta. It was licensed in Canada in 1958 and
grown commercially in 1959.
Kenhi has a spring habit of growth, is medium early and mid-long
in height. Its parts have the following characteristics: stem-white,
midstrong; spike-apical awned, middense; glumes-white, glaborous;
shoulders-midwide, square to sloping; beak-short midwide, acute; awns-
white; kernels-white, midlong, soft,ovate; germ-midsized; crease-
midwide, middeep; cheeks-rounded; brush-medium and midlong.
During the period of testing Kenhi was superior to Lemhi and
Lemhi 53 in yield, lodging resistance, time to maturity, and rust
resistance. Kenhi is resistant to race 56 and 15B of stem rust and
moderately susceptible to leaf rust.
The quality of characteristics of Kenhi have been evaluated by
the laboratories of the University of Alberta, the Canada Department
of Agriculture, and the Milling and Baking Industry. It is considered
to have satisfactory soft wheat quality, comparable to Lemhi.
It is somewhat higher in protein content, and viscosity and
mixogram curve areas are larger than Lemhi and Lemhi 53.
This variety is grown on irrigated land in southern Alberta,
where stem rust is a serious hazard, under contract to mills for the
production of flour for the cake and pastry trade.
Breeder seed is maintained by the University of Alberta.
Foundation seed is produced by growers registered with the Canadian
Seed Growers Association.

REGISTRATION OF LEMHI WHEAT (Reg. No. 379)
E. G. Heyne
LEMHI, CI 11415, is a soft, white spring wheat distributed in
1939 for growing under irrigation in southern Idaho. The breeding and
selection work was carried on cooperatively by the Idaho Experiment
Station and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, at Aberdeen,
Idaho. The parents of Lemhi are Federation and Dicklow. The cross
was made in 1921 and carried in bulk until 1927. It was tested
throughout the western region during 1935 to 1938 in the uniform
irrigated trials. In 1958 it was grown on approximately 200,000 acres
in the Pacific Northwest and Alberta. The acreage is declining, being
replaced by Lemhi 53 (Reg. No. 380). K. H. Klages applied for
registration.
The superior characteristics of Lemhi are its high quality soft
white grain, stiff straw and good yield performance. Yield data for
Lemhi, compared with its parents, are given in table 2.
Lemhi is a spring wheat; early to midseason in maturity; has
short, strong, white culms; the spike is awnless, oblong and dense;
the glumes are glabrous and white. The grain is soft and white and
produces a flour low in carotenoid pigments.

REGISTRATION OF LEMHI 53 WHEAT (Reg. No. 380)
E. G. Heyne
LEMHI 53, CI 13258, a soft, white, spring wheat, was developed by
the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station and the Cereal Crops
Research Division, ARS, USDA. Application for registration was made
by K. H. Klages. Lemhi 53 is the result of a backcross program begun
at Davis, California, by C. A. Suneson in 1942. A Kenya selection,
Calif. No. 3098, resistant to several races of stem rust, was crossed
to Lemhi. The first backcross was made at Davis and subsequent ones
were made at Aberdeen, Idaho. The pedigree of Lemhi 53 (Calif. No.
398) X Lemhi. The final selection was made in 1952 and was
distributed in Idaho in 1953.
The superior characteristic of Lemhi 53 is its resistance to
races 38 and 56 of stem rust and moderate resistance to race 17.
Lemhi 53 is considered to be similar to its recurrent parent, Lemhi,
in all characteristics except for reaction to stem rust (see
description of Lemhi, Reg. No. 379). Performance data on Lemhi 53 and
several other varieties are given in table 3.
Lemhi 53 is expected to replace Lemhi, especially in areas where
stem rust is an important factor in wheat production.

Registration of Lemhi 66 Wheat (Reg. No. 457).
D. W. Sunderman and Martin Wise
'LEMHI 66' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.), soft white spring
wheat, CI 13969, was developed cooperatively by the Idaho Agricultural
Experiment Station and the Agricultural Research Service, U. S.
Department of Agriculture. The initial cross, 'Lemhi 53' X ('Lee')7 X
'Chinese Spring' - Aegilops umbellulata), was made at the Aberdeen,
Idaho, Branch Experiment Station in 1961. Three backcrosses to Lemhi
53 were made during 1961 and 1962. Stripe rust resistant F3 lines,
selected in the field in 1963, were tested for quality, and 400 F5
plants of the best F3 line were grown in the 1963-64 greenhouse.
Lemhi 66 is a medium-tall, awnless, white-chaffed variety which
closely resembles Lemhi 53. It is moderately resistant to lodging,
but has slightly weaker straw than Lemhi 53. Lemhi 66 has the Lee
gene for stripe rust resistance and the Sr6 gene for stem rust
resistance.
The outstanding attributes of Lemhi 66 are its resistance to the
prevalent races of stem and stripe rust found in southern Idaho, and
its similarity to Lemhi 53 in most other agronomic and quality
characteristics. In the absence of stripe rust, Lemhi 66 produces
yields of grain equal to Lemhi 53, but of slightly lower test weight.
Milling and baking quality are similar to Lemhi 53.
Although the usual 3-year testing period has not been completed,
registered seed of Lemhi 66 has been distributed to growers to meet
the need for a stripe rust resistant, soft white spring wheat to
replace susceptible Lemhi 53 on the irrigated lands of Idaho. The
Tetonia Branch Experiment Station, University of Idaho, will maintain
breeder seed.

Registration of Lewjain Wheat (Reg. No. 671).
C. J. Peterson, R. E. Allan, G. L. Rubenthaler, J. A. Hoffmann, D. W.
George, and O. A. Vogel
'LEWJAIN', CI17909, is a soft white common winter semidwarf wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. No. 671) cultivar developed cooperatively
by the USDA-ARS and the Washington State University Agriculture
Research Center at Pullman, Wash. Lewjain was released jointly by the
Agriculture Experiment Stations of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho and
the Agricultural Research Service, USDA in 1982.
Lewjain (CI17909, WA006363, VH075801) was selected in the F4
generation from the cross 'Luke'/3/'Super Helvia'/2/'Suwon
92'/CI13645. It has an awned, lax spike with long, mid-wide, white
glumes. The kernels are elliptical, white, soft and mid long, with a
shallow crease. The germ is mid-sized. Lewjain is quite similar to
Luke (CI14586) in maturity (late), straw strength (weak), and
winterhardiness (moderate).
Lewjain was included in the Western Regional Soft White Winter
Wheat Nursery from 1977 to present. Grain yields have averaged 7%
above those of Luke. The bushel weight of Lewjain is about 2% below
that of 'Nugaines' and slightly above that of Luke. The USDA-ARS
Western Wheat Quality Laboratory has shown that the milling and flour
quality characteristics of Lewjain are similar to the excellent
quality characteristics of Luke.
Lewjain is resistant to the local races of common bunt caused by
Tiletia foetida Wall. Liro, dwarf bunt caused by Tilletia controversa
Kuhn and has adult resistance to stripe rust caused by Puccinia
striiformis West. It is moderately resistant to Cephalosporium stripe
caused by Cephalosporium gramineum Nis. & Ika. Lewjain is susceptible
to leaf rust caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici
Eriks, stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici
Ericks and Henn, flag smut caused by Urocystis agropyri [Preuss]
Schroet, and Cercosporella foot rot caused by Pseudocercosporella
herpotrichoides [Fron] Dei.
Lewjain is adapted to the wheat growing areas of Idaho, eastern
Oregon and eastern Washington. Breeder and foundation seed will be
maintained by the Washington State Crop Improvement Association under
the supervision of the Agronomy and Soils Dept. Agric. Res. Ctr.
Washington State Univ., and the Agric. Res. Serv. Pullman, WA 99164.

Registration of Luke Wheat (Reg. No. 533).
C. J. Peterson, O. A. Vogel, D. W. George, and R. J. Metzger
'LUKE' wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), CI 14586, is a semidwarf
soft white winter wheat cultivar developed cooperatively by the
Agricultural Research Service, USDA, and Washington State Agricultural
Research Center. Luke was released jointly by the Agricultural
Experiment Stations of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, and the
Agricultural Research Service in 1970.
Luke was selected in the F5 generation from the cross PI
178383/2*'Burt'/2/CI 13438, made at Pullman, Washington, in 1960. The
cross PI 178383/2*Burt was made by the Agricultural Research Service,
USDA, at Corvallis, Oregon. Luke was evaluated in the observation and
performance nurseries of Washington from 1966 to 1970.
Luke has a lax spike with long awns. The glumes are white, long,
and midwide. The kernels are white, soft, and midlong, and the crease
is shallow. Luke is resistant to all known races of common and dwarf
bunt in the Pacific Northwest, but it is susceptible to flag smut. It
has field resistance to stripe rust and is susceptible to stem and
leaf rust. Luke is more tolerant to Cercosporella and Fusarium foot
rots than 'Nugaines.' The winterhardiness of Luke is slightly less
than that of Nugaines, and it develops a crown 5 to 15 mm shallower
than that of Nugaines.
The moderate snow-mold tolerance of Luke is similar to that of
'Moro.' The seedling vigor of Luke is superior to that of Nugaines,
but is has weaker straw than Nugaines. Luke mills better than
Nugaines and produces an excellent pastry-type flour. Additional
information on performance and management has been published.
Luke is intended for production in the areas of Oregon, northern
Idaho, and Washington where dwarf bunt is a problem. Breeder and
foundation seed will be maintained by the Washington State Crop
Improvement Association under the supervision of the Agronomy and
Soils Department, Washington Agricultural Research Center and the
USDA, Pullman, WA 99163. Registered and certified seed will be
produced from foundation seed.

Registration of Madsen Wheat (Reg. No. 746).
R. E. Allan, C. J. Peterson, Jr., G. L. Rubenthaler, R. F. Line, and
D. E. Roberts
'MADSEN' (Reg. no. 746; PI 511673) is a common soft white winter
(SWW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar developed by the USDA-ARS
Wheat Genetics Quality, Physiology and Disease Research Unit at
Pullman, WA. It was jointly released by USDA-ARS and the agricultural
experiment stations of Washington, Idaho and Oregon in January 1988.
Madsen was elected in 1980 from an F2-derived F3 line from the
cross VPM1/'Moisson' 951/2/2*'Hill 81'. Madsen is a one-gene
semidwarf (Rht1), is medium early in heading date, and is similar to
'Nugaines'. Spikes are awned, oblong, middense, and inclined. Glumes
are glabrous, midlong, and midwide to narrow, shoulders are narrow and
wanting; beaks are narrow, acuminate, and 3 to 15 mm in length.
Madsen is heterogeneous for glume color with 33 and 67% of its plants
having white or buff colored glumes, respectively. Kernels of Madsen
are white, midlong, soft, and ovate; the germ is midsized; the crease
is midwide and middeep; the cheeks are rounded to angular; the brush
is midsized to midlong.
Madsen expresses moderately high resistance to strawbreaker foot
rot caused by Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides (Fron) Deighton.
Its resistance is presumably inherited from VPM1, which derives
resistance from T. ventricosum. A gene for strawbreaker resistance
was shown to be closely associated with the EP-V1 endopeptidase gene
on the long arm of chromosome 7D. Madsen is homogeneous for the EP-V1
allele (D.E. Roberts, 1988. personal communication).
In eight replicated trials of diseased (inoculated with P.
herpotrichoides) vs. control plots (sprayed with benomyl fungicide,
methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate) conducted during
1981 to 1988. Madsen, 'Stephens', 'Daws', and Nugaines have had mean
strawbreaker-inducted losses of 9, 24, 31 and 43%, respectively.
among the eight trials, significant (P < 0.05) yield reduction
occurred for Madsen in only two trials, while significant reductions
occurred for Stephens, Daws, and Nugaines in seven, seven, and eight
trials, respectively. The overall mean yield of Madsen in the
strawbreaker-inoculated trials was 7830 kg ha-1 compared to 4100,
5190, 5280 kg ha-1 for Nugaines, Daws, and Stephens, respectively.
During 1980 to 1987, Madsen has expressed field resistance to the
prevalent northwestern USA biotypes of stripe rust (caused by Puccinia
striiformis West.), leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex
Desm. f. sp. tritici), and stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis
Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & Henn.). Madsen has moderate resistance
to powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal). It is moderately susceptible to flag smut (caused by
Urocystis agropyri (Preuss) Schroet.) and Cephalosporium stripe
(caused by Cephalosporium gramineam Nis. & Ika.). Madsen resists some
races of Tilletia tritici (Bjerk. wint. & T. laevis Kuhn. It is
susceptible to the prevalent races of T. controversa Kuhn.
In the absence of strawbreaker foot rot, Madsen has generally
yielded equal to or higher than other Regional SWW cultivars. In 118
state of Washington trials conducted during 1983 to 1988, mean yields
of Madsen, Stephens, Nugaines, Daws, and 'Lewjain' were 5010, 4620,
4570, 4850, and 5070 kg ha-1, respectively. From 1984 to 1987 in
regional trials outside of Washington, the yield performance of Madsen
was variable. In 32 regional trials, Madsen, Nugaines, Stephens, and
'Dusty' averaged 5990, 5110, 5420, and 5990 kg ha-1, respectively.
The grain volume weight of Madsen averages about 19 kg m-3 less
than Nugaines and 13 kg m-3 more than Stephens. It has an average
plant height of 80 cm, which is similar to Stephens. Straw strength
of Madsen exceeds Lewjain and Dusty, but is less than Stephens.
Spikes of Madsen have a tendency to shatter. It has seedling-
emergence ability superior to Daws, but less than Stephens. Madsen
did not have appreciate winter injury during its testing period in
Washington State trials. A crown freeze test indicated Madsen was
similar to Stephens for coldhardiness. Occasionally, florets of
Madsen exhibit partial male sterility.
Tests by the USDA-ARS Western Wheat Quality Laboratory have rated
Madsen as satisfactory to very satisfactory for overall quality
traits. It was satisfactory in the Pacific Northwest Collaboratory
Tests. Madsen usually rated superior to Nugaines and Stephens for
cookie diameter, sponge cake score, and cake volume. It has equaled
and exceeded the noodle scores of Nugaines and Stephens, respectively.
Breeder and foundation seed of Madsen is maintained by the
Washington State Crop Improvement Association under supervision of the
Agronomy and Soils Department, Washington Agricultural Research
Center.

E. G. Heyne
MARFED, CI 11919, is a soft white, spring wheat distributed in
Washington in 1946. The cross Marquis-Florence X Federation, was made
in 1931 and the final selection was made in 1936. This variety was
developed cooperatively by the Washington Agricultural Experiment
Station and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA. O. A. Vogel
applied for registration. The variety has been previously described.
Since its description, it has attained a stable acreage in
eastern Washington where it can be fall-sown in the Walla Walla area
and spring-sown in the intermediate and higher rainfall areas of the
eastern part of the state. Marfed resists about one-half of the bunt
races in this area. it is the highest yielding commercially grown,
dry-land, spring-sown wheat in eastern Washington.
The variety has a beardless spike; the glumes are glabrous and
white; it is midtall in height; it has a fairly high test weight
grain.

Registration of McDermid Wheat (Reg. No. 578).
W. E. Kronstad, C. R. Rohde, M. F. Kolding, and R. J. Metzger
'MCDERMID' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) CI 14565 is a soft
white winter wheat developed by the Oregon Agric. Exp. Stn. in
cooperation with ARS-USDA, from a cross between 'Nord Desprez' and
Pullman Selection 101 (CI 13438) with one backcross to form breeder
seed.
The relatively early date of maturity for McDermid, previously
designated OR 63-130-6-5, proved to be a distinct advantage in the 300
mm or less rainfall areas where moisture stress usually prevails prior
to harvest. Conversely, McDermid has the yield potential to respond
under higher rainfall or irrigated conditions. McDermid has more
winterhardiness than 'Hyslop' being similar to 'Nugaines.'
McDermid is resistant to the prevalent races of leaf rust
(Puccinia rubigo-vera (De.) Wint. f. sp. tritici (Eriks.) Carl.) and
has mature plant resistance to prevalent races of stripe rust (P.
glumarum (Schm.) Eriks. & E. Henn.). It is moderately resistant to
powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis De. f. sp. tritici Em. Marchal) and
carries the Bt 1 and Bt 4 genes for resistance to common bunt
(Tilletia foetida (Wallr.) Liro or T. caries (De.) Tul.).
The Western Wheat Quality Laboratory has identified McDermid as
having promising overall quality characteristics being equal to or
superior to the common soft white wheat cultivators currently in
commercial production.
McDermid is medium height with a strong white stem. The spike is
awned, fusiform, mid-dense, and inclined with glabrous, white mid-long
glumes. The shoulders are mid-wide and oblique, with narrow,
acuminate, one to three mm long beaks. Awns are white and two to
eight cm in length. Kernels are white, mid-long, ovate with a small
germ and mid-wide crease which is shallow to mid-deep.
McDermid was named after the late Jack T. McDermid, who was the
superintendent at the Red Soils and Sherman Branch Experiment Stations
for many years.
Breeder seed is maintained by the Agronomic Crop Sci. Dept.,
Oregon State Univ., Oregon State Univ. Corvallis, OR 97331.

Registration of Moro Wheat (Reg. No. 455).
C. R. Rohde
'MORO,' Triticum aesticum L. em. Thell., Ore. Sel. No. 172, CI
13740, is a soft white winter wheat selection from the cross 'P.I.
178383' X 'Omar'. The last cross was made in 1957 by R. J. Metzger,
Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, at Corvallis, Oregon. The F1 was
seeded at the Pendleton Experiment Station in the fall of 1957. P.I.
178383 was an introduction from Turkey. Tests at the Pendleton
Experiment Station and subsequent tests at locations in Washington,
Montana, and Utah had shown it possessed high resistance to all known
races of both common and dwarf bunt. The selection which resulted in
Moro was made from an F3 line at the Pendleton Experiment Station in
1961, at which time it was also discovered that it possessed high
resistance to stripe rust. Its stripe rust resistance was obtained
from P.I. 178383. Moro was released to Oregon certified seed growers
in the fall of 1965. Breeder seed will be maintained by the Oregon
Agricultural Experiment Station, Pendleton, Oregon.
Moro is an awnletted, mid-tall, club variety of winter wheat with
brown chaff. It is mid-season in maturity, averaging about 2 days
earlier in date of heading than Omar. It has moderately stiff straw;
however, it is less stiff than Omar. Under some conditions this
variety tends to shatter slightly more than Omar. Seedling emergence
of Moro is very good. Moro is highly resistant to the races of stripe
rust commonly present in the Pacific Northwest and to all races of
common and dwarf bunt. This variety also appears to be tolerant to
footrot caused by Cercosporella herpotrichoides.
In the absence of stripe rust, Moro has yielded about equal to
Omar. It is suited primarily for those areas where Omar was well
adapted. It is not suited for the very high yielding areas of eastern
Oregon. Table 1 and 2 give summaries of the agronomic and quality
data.

Registration of Nugaines Wheat (Reg. No. 542).
O. A. Vogel and C. J. Peterson, Jr.
'NUGAINES' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell), CI 13968, is a
semidwarf soft white winter wheat developed by the Agricultural
Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Washington
State Agricultural Research Center. It was released in 1965
cooperatively by the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, and the Idaho, Oregon, and Washington Experiment
Stations.
Nugaines (a sib of 'Gaines') was selected from the cross CI
13253/CI 12692/2/'Burt.' Nugaines was referred to as Selection 7 and
WA 3739. It has a bearded, lax spike with long, midwide, white
glumes. The kernels are while, soft, and midlong with a shallow
crease.
Winterhardiness of Nugaines is equal to that of Gaines, but it is
less hardy than the hard red winter wheats 'McCall' and 'Wanser.' It
is shatter-resistant and fairly easy to thresh. Nugaines has equalled
or exceeded the yields of 'Gaines' over a 5-year period of testing in
Washington. The test weight of Nugaines exceeds that of Gaines.
Nugaines has more adult plant resistance to stripe rust than
Gaines but is equally susceptible in the seedling stage. Nugaines is
susceptible to Cercosporella foot rot, Fusarium foot rot, stem rust,
and snow mold. It has moderate resistance to common, flag, and
stinking smut. Nugaines is susceptible to several new races of dwarf
bunt. It has slightly less postharvest dormancy than 'Kharkof' under
Pullman condition and a crown depth of 20+5 mm.
Nugaines has better milling characteristics than Gaines. Baking
tests have shown that Nugaines flour has good quality for pastries,
cookies, and soft white wheat products. Nugaines flour is not
suitable for making bread.
Nugaines is adapted to the wheat-growing areas of Northern Idaho,
Eastern Oregon, and Eastern Washington (O. A. Vogel, K. J. Morrison,
and C. J. Peterson, Jr., 1966. Nugaines. Wash. State Univ. Ext. Circ.
465). Breeder and foundation seed will be maintained by the
Washington State Crop Improvement Association under the supervision of
the Agronomy and Soils Department, Washington Agricultural Research
Center, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Pullman, Washington.

REGISTRATION OF OMAR WHEAT (Reg. No. 377)
E. G. Heyne
OMAR, CI 13072, is a white, club, winter wheat. The variety was
developed cooperatively by the Washington Agricultural Experiment
Station and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, and was released
by Washington, Oregon, and Idaho in 1955. Omar is a selection made in
1951 from the cross, [(Omar X Turkey-Florence) Elgin*3, sel, 19] X
Elmar, made in 1947. O. A. Vogel applied for registration.
During 1953-55, performance trials in comparison with Elmar, the
most widely grown club variety at the time, Omar yielded 10% more in
12 trials in Washington and 15% more than Elmar in 7 tests in Oregon.
In additional trials in 1956 and 1957 it continued to equal or exceed
Elmar in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. In 1958, Omar was the most
widely grown white wheat in the Pacific Northwest.
The superior characteristic of Omar is resistance to all but one
(T-18) of the known races of common and dwarf bunt. Omar is less
winter-hardy than Turkey-type wheats but is satisfactory for the
recommended area, which is similar to that for Elmar and Elgin. Omar
is the only red-chaffed white club winter wheat recommended in the
Pacific Northwest. The spike of Omar is awnleted, the straw is stiff
with a white culm, medium-tall in height; and Omar resists lodging.
Omar has satisfactory milling qualities. It is softer than Elmar and
the flour yield is high. The flour is excellent for cake and cookies
but not suitable for bread making.

REGISTRATION OF ONAS WHEAT (Reg. No. 252)
J. A. Clark
ONAS (C. I. No. 6221) was introduced by the United States
department of Agriculture from Tuela, Saddleworth, South Australia, in
1918. It was originally developed through hybridization by F.
Coleman, Federation being one parent. The value of this wheat for
California conditions has been determined in the cooperative
experiments of the Office of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of
Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, and the
California Agricultural Experiment Station. V. H. Florell, who
conducted the experiments at University Farm, Davis, Calif., applied
for its registration. Its superior characters are strong stems, high
yielding capacity, and good milling and bread-making qualities. Onas
should follow Bunyip (Reg. No. 15) in the classification. Onas was
increased at the Davis station in 1923 and distributed for commercial
growing. The annual and average yields of Onas grown at the Davis
station in five systematically replicated 50th-acre plats during the
four-year period from 1922 to 1925, inclusive, in comparison with
Pacific Bluestem, the principal commercial variety of that state, are
as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

F. N. Briggs
ONAS 53 (CI No 13069) was developed by the California
Agricultural Experiment Station and the Field Crops Research Branch,
Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Information regarding it was furnished by C. A. Suneson and C. W.
Schaller. The original Onas, introduced from Australia, was first
grown commercially in California in 1924. Successive backcross
improvement programs produced bunt resistant Onas 41, Awned Onas with
improved yield and test weight, and a combination of the two, Onas 49.
Onas 53 is composite of 250 F3 lines derived from Kenya (P.I.
117526) X Onas 49. The initial cross with Kenya was made in 1944. By
growing two crops per year, the combination of previous breeding gains
with rust resistance was completed in 1951. Five test crops for
agronomic, disease, and quality evaluation were grown from 1951 to
1953. These reaffirmed the close likeness to the recurrent parent
shown by many other tests with similarity improved varieties tested
from 1937 to 1953, and provided a precise difference due to stem rust.
Onas 53 has shown greater resistance than Baart 46 or Kentena 48
when exposed to California cultures of stem rust races 11, 17, and 56.
It is recommended state-wide under irrigation or where rainfall will
sustain later than average maturity, but not in extreme shatter-hazard
areas.

REGISTRATION OF ORFED WHEAT (Reg. No. 339)
J. A. Clark
ORFED (Wn. 3300, C. I. 11913) was developed by the Agronomy
Department of the Washington State Agricultural Experiment Station and
the Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases of the U. S. Dept. of
Agriculture from an Oro X Federation cross. The cross was made by V.
H. Florell at the University of Idaho in 1931. An F2 population was
given to O. A. Vogel who selected the present line in 1937. It was
entered in the uniform yield and bunt nurseries of the western region
in 1940. It is an awned wheat with white chaff and white kernels. It
is intermediate for winter and spring habit and can be successfully
grown in southeastern Washington and adjacent Idaho and Oregon from
both fall and spring seedings. Its superior characteristics are good
yields, high test weight, and resistance to shattering, lodging, and
bunt. It also has good milling and baking properties. It has
performed sufficiently well in varietal tests at Pullman, Pomeroy, and
Walla Walla, Wash., to warrant its recommendation for the areas of
Washington that commonly grow fall-sown, soft white, and club
varieties. It also can be grown as a spring-sown variety to a
limited extent, particularly in early seeding, to patch up fall-sown
fields of Orfed which have been partly winterkilled. Its superiority
in yield and test weight over Hymar, a commonly grown variety in
eastern Washington is shown in Table 5. Seed of Orfed was first
distributed for commercial growing in the fall of 1943.

Registration of Oveson Wheat (Reg. No. 738).
C. R. Rohde, K. H. Van Wagoner, W. E. Kronstad, and Gordon L.
Rubenthaler
'OVESON' (PI 512338) a soft white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum
L.) (Reg. no. 738) was developed cooperatively by the Columbia Basin
Agricultural Research Center (Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station)
Pendleton, OR and the USDA-ARS and was released in 1986. It was named
in recognition of the late M. M. Oveson, a former superintendent of
the Sherman and Pendleton Branch Experiment Stations, who made
significant research contributions to wheat production of eastern
Oregon.
Oveson was derived from a single F5 plant selected in 1978 from
the cross of 'Hyslop'/'Yayla'/2/WA4995/3/'Cerco'. It is a tall
semidwarf cultivar with an awned common type of spike that has white
glumes. Its kernels are white, midsized, and elliptical with a short
brush and a shallow crease.
Oveson is resistant to the prevalent U.S. Pacific Northwest races
of stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis West.) and moderately
tolerant to Cephalosporium stripe (caused by Cephalosporium gramineum
Nis. & Ika.). Oveson is susceptible to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia
recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici). it is resistant to some
races of common bunt [caused by Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul and T.
foetida (Wallr.) Liro] since it has the Bt4 gene for resistance.
Oveson is moderately susceptible to strawbreaker foot rot [caused by
Pseudocercosporella herpotrichloides (Fron.) Dei.].
Oveson was tested as OR7996 in northeastern Oregon trials from
1981 to 1986 and in the Western Regional White Winter Wheat Nursery
during 1982 to 1986. In 82 test years in northeastern Oregon, Oveson
has yielded 5% higher than 'Stephens' in higher yielding areas but 7%
lower in lower yielding areas. Although Oveson has yielded higher
than Stephens under irrigation, it possesses less resistance to
lodging and, therefore, requires careful management of fertilizer and
water. In 97 test years of regional trials, the mean yield of Oveson
has been equal to that of Stephens, the current standard for the
region. Oveson was released to provide greater genetic diversity
among cultivars in the higher rainfall areas of northeastern Oregon,
where a high percentage of a single cultivar is currently grown.
Oveson is 5 d later to head, t to 8 cm taller, and is slightly
heavier in volume weight than Stephens. In 82 tests, the mean volume
weight of Oveson was 5 g heavier than that of Stephens. The
winterhardiness of Oveson is about equal to that of Stephens and its
emergence rate index is higher.
Tests by the USDA-ARS Western Wheat Quality Laboratory indicate
that Oveson has satisfactory milling and flour quality characteristics
being similar to Stephens for cookie diameter, noodle score, and
Japanese sponge cake volume.
Breeder and foundation seed of Oveson is maintained by the
Foundation Seed and Plant Materials Project, Crop Science Department,
Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331.

Registration of Owens Wheat (Reg. No. 680).
D. W. Sunderman and Brendan O'Connell
'OWENS' soft white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. no.
680), CI 17904, was named in honor of Dr. Edward Owens, deceased
former superintendent of the University of Idaho Aberdeen Research and
Extension Center (1955 to 1977). His willing cooperation helped make
the cultivar development program a success. Owens was developed
cooperatively by the USDA-ARS and the Idaho Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Owens was derived from the cross ID0045/6/ 2*A6514S-A-102-1/5/
2*A6535S-443-101/3/ A63166S-A-4-27-1-2/2/ PI 227196/ A63166S-A-2-8/4/
'Gaines'/ 'Lemhi 53'. A6514S-A-102-1 is a selection from
Yt54A*4/2/'Norin 10'/'Brevor'/3/'Twin'. ID0045 and A6535S-443-101 are
sister selections of 'Fielder' and 'Fieldwin' and A63166S-A-2-8 is a
sister selection of Twin. The final cross was made in 1972 and Owens
was obtained from a bulked F4 head row harvested in 1975. Owens,
tested in Idaho trials for 5 years (1976 to 1980) and in the Western
Regional Spring Wheat Nursery as ID0185 for 2 years (1979 to 1989),
was released by USDA-ARS and the Idaho and Oregon Agricultural
Experiment Stations in 1981.
Owens is similar to Twin and Fieldwin in maturity and has an
average height of 84 cm; however, the height of individual plants of
Owens have deviated from the average by as much as 5 cm. The straw
strength of Owens is similar to Twin and 'Dirkwin' and slightly weaker
than Fieldwin. Spikes of Owens are erect to inclined, awned,
oblong,and middense. The glumes are white, midlong, and midwide with
midwide square to elevated shoulders. Beaks are narrow, acuminate,
and 2 to 6 mm long. The kernels are soft, white, midlong, and ovate
with a midsized germ, rounded cheeks, and a narrow middeep crease.
Owens has been resistant to the prevalent races of stripe rust
(caused by Puccinia striiformis West.) found in the Pacific Northwest,
but was moderately susceptible to race CDL-17 found at Mt. Vernon,
Wash. in 1979. It is moderately susceptible to Pacific Northwest races
of powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E.
Marchal) and leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f.
sp. tritici) Black point (caused by Alternaria species) has caused
somewhat more kernel discoloration in Owens than in the other
recommended cultivars.
The yield of Owens averages 282 kg/ha (5%) more than the other
three recommended cultivars in 5 years of testing at two irrigated
locations in southern Idaho. The test weight of Owens is similar to
Fieldwin and 4 and 3 kg h?'1 heavier than Twin and Dirkwin,
respectively. The grain flour yield of Owens has been slightly lower
than that of Fieldwin. Pastry quality has been satisfactory.
Breeder seed of Owens will be maintained by the Univ. of Idaho,
Aberdeen Res. and Ext. Ctr., P.O. Box AA, Aberdeen, ID 83210.

Registration of Paha Wheat (Reg. No. 510).
R. E. Allan and O. A. Vogel
'PAHA' wheat, Triticum aestivum L., CI 14485, is a short-strawed
club winter wheat selected from the cross "Suwon 92'/4*'Omar' made at
Pullman, Washington, in 1961. Paha was developed cooperatively by the
Plant Science Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture and the College of Agriculture of Washington
State University. It was jointly released to growers by the
Agricultural Research Service and the Washington, Idaho, and Oregon
Agricultural Experiment Stations in 1970.
Paha has short white straw that varies from 80 to 100 cm and
usually is 10 to 20 cm shorter in plant height than Omar. Otherwise,
it is morphologically similar to Omar. It has a very dense awnletted
spike with brown glumes that are midlong and midwide. Paha has a test
weight comparable to Omar but heavier than 'Moro.' It is similar to
Omar in growth habit, maturity, winterhardiness and kernel type. Paha
is superior to Omar and Moro in resistance to lodging and shattering.
In seedling emergence is it better than 'Nugaines'; equal to Omar; and
generally poorer than Moro.
Paha resists the prevalent races of the strip rust fungus in the
Pacific Northwest. It has more tolerance to Cercosporella foot rot
(strawbreaker) than either Moro or Omar. Paha is comparable to Omar
for resistance to common bunt. It is more susceptible to leaf rust,
powdery mildew and flag smut than Omar.
Paha is recommended primarily for 20- to 38-cm (11- to 15-inch)
rainfall areas of the Pacific Northwest, especially when grown under
conditions favoring stripe rust and Cercosporella root rot. It has
exceeded the yields of Moro and Omar in these rainfall areas of
Washington by 10 to 20% over a 3-year period. Paha is not adapted to
areas above 46 cm of rainfall; under these conditions it tends to
lodge and produces less grain than Nugaines or 'Luke.'
Paha has the excellent milling and pastry baking quality
characteristics typical of Omar and is superior to Moro in all
respects for traditional club wheat quality.
Breeder Paha seed will be maintained by the Washington Crop
Improvement Association at Washington State University, Pullman,
Washington 99163.

Registration of Purcell Wheat (Reg. No. 627).
Mark E. Sorrells and Neal F. Jensen
'PURCELL,' CI 17787, is a soft white winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L. em Tell.) developed and released by the Cornell Univ.
Agric. Exp. Stn. for production in the northeastern United States. It
originated as a single plant selection from an F5 bulk population of
the 1961 cross, 'Honor'*2 /2/ 'Rosen Rye' /3/ 'Yorkwin' /4/ 'Hussar' /
'Yorkwin' /3/ Honor*2 /2/ Rosen Rye /5/ 'Genesee'*2 /2/ 'Brevor' /
'Norin-10' /6/ Genesee /2/ CI 12658 / 'Alaskan.' Purcell was tested
in state and regional trials as NY 61176-19. It has been tested in
New York since 1968 and was first entered in the Uniform Eastern Soft
White Winter Wheat Nursery in 1977.
Purcell has yellow-green stems and leaves at booting and has
hollow, white stems at maturity. At booting, the flag leaf is erect
and not twisted. Spikes are dense, apically awnletted, oblong, and
average about 8 cm in length. Glumes are long, wide, white in color,
and have a rounded shoulder with an obtuse beak. Kernels are midlong
and ovate in shape, and have rounded cheeks and a medium brush without
a collar.
In 10 years of testing in New York trials, Purcell has yielded
about 7% more grain than the mean of 'Arrow,' 'Ticonderoga,' and
'Houser.' Winter-hardiness is similar to these Cornell cultivars.
Test weight of Purcell is about 74 kg/hl. This is 2 to 3 kg/hl
heavier than Ticonderoga or Houser and slightly lighter than Arrow.
Purcell is about 6 cm taller than Ticonderoga or Houser and heads
about the same time. Although taller than Houser and Ticonderoga, the
excellent straw strength and superior root system of Purcell provides
good lodging resistance. Purcell is resistant to loose smut [caused
by Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.], and moderately resistant to
powdery mildew (cause by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Em.
Marshal). Purcell is susceptible to common bunt [caused by Tilletia
caries (DC.) Tul.], dwarf bunt (caused by T. controversa Kuhn), and
stem rust (caused by P. graminis Pers. f. sp tritici Eriks. and E.
Henn), and moderately susceptible to current races of leaf rust
(Puccinia recondita Rob. ex. Desm. f. sp. tritici Eriks). Milling and
baking characteristics are similar to Ticonderoga, and both are
slightly below Genesee or 'Avon' in overall quality.
The generation sequence of seed production will be Breeder,
Foundation, and Certified. Cultivar protection has been applied for
under the Plant Variety Protection Act, Public Law 91-577. Purcell
was approved for release in 1979 and 15 acres were sown for 1980
harvest. Seed for commercial production will be available on a
limited basis in 1981. Breeder seed will be maintained by the Cornell
Univ. Agric. Exp. Stn.

Registration of Raeder Wheat (Reg. No. 585).
C. J. Peterson, Jr., O. A. Vogel, and G. L. Rubenthaler
'RAEDER' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.), CI 17418, is a
semidwarf, soft white common winter cultivar developed cooperatively
by the ARS, USDA, and Washington State Agricultural Research Center.
Raeder was released jointly by the Idaho Experiment Station and the
ARS in 1976.
Raeder was selected in the F4 generation from the cross
'Gaines'/2/PI 178383/CI 13431 made at Pullman, Wash. in 1962. It has
a bearded lax spike with long, midwide, brown glumes. The kernels are
elliptical, white, soft, and midlong, with a shallow crease. The germ
is midsized. Raeder is similar to 'Nugaines', CI 13968, in growth
habit, maturity, winterhardiness, and emergence.
Raeder (WA 5988, VH 67469) was evaluated in the observaton and
performance nurseries of Washington from 1967 to 1975. It was
included in the Western Regional Soft White Winter Wheat Nursery from
1973 to 1975. Grain yields of Raeder have generally been 5% less than
those of Nugaines. The test weight of Raeder is about 2 kg/hl less
than that of Nugaines. Raeder is resistant to flag smut (Urocystis
tritici, Koern), common bunt (Tilletia foctida (Wallr) Liro), and some
races of dwarf bunt (Tilletia controversa, Kuhn). It is also
resistant to the local races of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis,
West). Raeder is suceptible to leaf rust (Puccinia rubigo-vera (DC.)
Wint. f. sp. tritica (Ericks.) Carl.) and Cercosporella foot rot. The
milling and flour characteristics of Raeder are similar to those of
Nugaines.
Raeder is intended for production in northern Idaho. Breeder
seed will be maintained by the Washington State Crop Improvement
Association under the supervision of the Agronomy and Soils
Department, College of Agriculture Research Center, Washington State
University, and the USDA, Pullman, WA 99163.

REGISTRATION OF RAMONA WHEAT (Reg. No. 317)
J. A. Clark
RAMONA (Calif. 537, C. I. No. 8241) was developed in cooperative
experiments of the California Agricultural Experiment Station and the
Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S.
Dept. of Agriculture. It is the result of a cross between Hard
Federation and Bunyip made by W. W. Mackie in 1917. Dr. G. A. Wiebe
applied for its registration.
Ramona is an awnless, short, early spring wheat with dark brown
glumes and white kernels. It is a high-yield variety and was first
distributed for commercial growing by the California Experiment
Station in 1935. The new variety has been under tests in experiments
at Davis for 10 years. The comparative data upon which registration
is based are shown in Table 1.

Registration of Rew Wheat (Reg. No. 606).
C. R. Rohde, W. B. Locke, W. E. Kronstad, M. F. Kolding, and R. J.
Metzger
'REW', CI 17294, Oregon selection OR 6933, is a soft white winter
what (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) developed cooperatively by the
Oregon Agric. Exp. Stn. and FR-SEA-USDA. It is a selection from a
cross of F1 plants of 'Orfed'/'Elgin'/2/'Elmar'/3/'Heines VII' and
Orfed/Elgin/2/Elmar/3/CI 13438. The final selection was made of an F4
line in 1968. Rew was released to growers in 1974.
Rew is resistant to many races of common bunt (Tilletia foetida
(Wallr.) Liro) and some races of dwarf bunt (Tilletia controversa,
Kuhn). Rew is moderately susceptible to stripe rust (Puccinia
striiformis, West) and susceptible to leaf rust (Puccinia rubigo-vera
(DC.) Wint. f. sp. tritici (Eriks.) Carl.) The spike of Rew is awned,
oblong, middense and erect; the glumes are glabrous, yellowish,
midlong and midwide; the shoulders are midwide and generally oblique;
the beaks very from 3 to 7 mm long; the awns are white, 3 to 7 cm
long; kernels are elliptical, white, soft, and midlong with a middeep
crease; the germ is large. Rew is midtall in height and medium in
maturity. The stem is white and strong.
Rew was tested at several locations in eastern Oregon from 1971
to 1975. Rew was included in the Western Regional Soft White Winter
Wheat Nursery from 1973 to 1975. Grain yields of Rew have been the
highest of the midtall cultivars. Variety tests in eastern Oregon
have shown that the test weight of its grain is generally 1 kg/hl more
than that of 'Hyslop'. Its winterhardiness is about equal to
'McDermid'.
Milling and baking properties of Rew have been evaluated by the
Western Wheat Quality Laboratory, FR-SEA-USDA, Pullman, WA, and found
to be equal or superior to Hyslop, McDermid, and 'Nugaines' soft white
common cultivars currently in production.
Rew was named after the late Ronald Rew, former wheat farmer near
Pendleton, Oregon, who was an active supporter of agricultural
research through his activities in the Oregon Wheat Growers League.
Breeder seed is maintained by the Columbia Basin Agric. Research
center, Oregon State Univ., Pendleton, OR 97801.

REGISTRATION OF REX WHEAT (Reg. No. 276)
J. A. Clark
REX (C. I. No. 10065), like Rio, was developed in cooperative
experiments at the Sherman County Branch Station, Moro, ore., Supt. D.
E. Stephens applying for the registration of both varieties. Rex is
the result of a cross between White Odessa (female) and Hard
Federation (male) made in 1921. The selection, made in 1926, was
first included in nursery experiments in 1929 and in plats in 1930.
It was distributed for commercial growing in 1933. Rex is a soft
white winter wheat with awnleted spikes and brown glumes. Its
superior characters are high yield, early maturity, and resistance to
lodging, shattering, and smut. The data on smut resistance and yield
are shown in tables 4 and 5, respectively.

Registration of SWS-52 Spring Wheat (Reg. No. CV-755).
R. S. Sadasivaiah* and J. B. Thomas
'SWS-52' (Reg. no. CV-755, PI537307), a soft white spring wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.), was developed at the Research Station,
Agriculture Canada, Lethbridge, AB. An interim Registration no. I-91
was issued for SWS-52 on 24 May 1989 by the Plant Health and Plant
Products Directorate, Food Production and Inspection Branch of
Agriculture Canada.
SWS-52 was developed using a modified pedigree method from an F4
bulk of unknown crosses received in 1980 from D.W. Sunderman, USDA-
ARS, Aberdeen, ID. An F5-derived F7 lines was tested as L2630-25 in
preliminary and advanced yield trials in 1983 and 1984, respectively.
From 1985 to 1988, it was evaluated in the Western Soft White Spring
Wheat Cooperative tests as SWS-52.
SWS-52 is an awned wheat with stiffer straw than 'Owens' and
brown chaff when mature. It is adapted to irrigated regions of
southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. On the average, it outyielded the
check cultivars, Owens and Fielder, by 5 and 11%, respectively, in 4
yr of Western Cooperative trials. It measured 78 cm in height, matured
5 to 6 d later than the checks, and exhibited good resistance to
lodging and moderate resistance to shattering compared with Owens and
Fielder, respectively.
The spikes are oblong to tapering, middense, midlong,
seminodding, glabrous, and brown at maturity; glume shoulders are
elevated and midwide; glume beaks are narrow and acute. The kernels
are soft, white, midsize, and ovate; cheeks are rounded; brush hairs
are middlong; the crease is narrow and middeep; the germ is midsize
and ovate.
SWS-52 is resistant to prevalent races of stripe rust (caused by
Puccinia striiformis Westend.), and has moderate resistance to black
point [caused by Alternaria alternata (Fr.:Fr.) Keissl.] and common
bunt [caused by Tilletia laevis Kuhn in Rabenh. and T. caries (DC.)
Tul. & C. Tul.]. It is highly susceptible to loose smut [caused by
Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.] and moderately susceptible to leaf
rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Roberge ex Desmaz.) and powdery
mildew (caused by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Em. Marchal).
SWS-52 is similar to Owens in volume and kernel weights, but
1.96% higher than Owens in flour yield. It has a higher falling
number accompanied by lower a-amylase and better sprouting resistance
than Fielder and Owens. SWS-52 has slightly stronger gluten and thus
marginal cookie quality compared with the checks.
Breeder seed derived from a bulk of 323 head rows will be
maintained by the Agriculture Canada Experimental Farm, Indian Head,
SK S0G 2K0, Canada. The multiplication and distribution of pedigreed
seed are handled by SeCan Association, 200-57 Auriga Dr., Nepean, ON,

Registration of Sprague Wheat (Reg. No. 600).
G. W. Bruehl, M. Nagamitsu, W. L. Nelson, C. J. Peterson, Jr., and G.
L. Rubenthaler
'SPRAGUE' CI 15376, WA 5910, is a semidwarf soft white common
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) cultivar developed
cooperatively by the Washington State University Agricultural Research
Center and the SEA, USDA Research Service, USDA. Sprague, released in
1972, was named after Roderick Sprague, a long-time student of snow
mold. Sprague was selected in the F5 generation from the cross PI
181268/'Gaines' made at the Dryland Research Unit, Lind, Wash. in
1962.
Sprague has winter habit, narrow leaves, is midseason in
maturity, short (semi-dwarf) in height, the stems are white, glabrous,
and weak to medium-strong. The spike is awned, oblong in shape, and
inclined. The awns are t to 6 cm long and white. The glumes are
glabrous, short to midwide, and square to slightly elevated with a
narrow acuminate beak about 2-7 cm long. The chaff color varies from
white to dark brown in response to environmental conditions.
The kernel is white, short to midlong, ovate-elliptical. The
endosperm is soft and the germ is small. The crease is narrow and
middeep. The cheeks are rounded. The brush is large and short.
Sprague is moderately resistant to snow mold when seeded early.
It is equivalent to Nugaines in hardiness and has the Bt 1 and Bt 4
smut (Tilletia caries (DC) Tull) resistance genes of the Gaines
parent. It has moderate field resistance to local stripe rust
(Puccinia striiformis, West.) races and is intermediate in response to
dryland Fusarium foot rot. Sprague is susceptible to Cercosporella
foot rot, flag smut (Urocystis tritici Koern.) leaf rust (Puccinia
recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp tritici Eriks.) and stem rust (Puccinia
graminis f. sp tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.).
Sprague is adapted to the snow mold areas of Washington. It was
evaluated in the observation and performance nurseries of Washington
from 1968 to 1972 and was included in the Western Regional Soft White
Winter Wheat Nursery in 1972. Sprague yields competitively with
'Moro' and 'Luke' in the chronic snow mold areas of north central
Washington in the absence of snow mold and is superior to yield to
Moro and Luke when snow mold occurs. In high yielding areas, lodging
may be a problem. The test weight of Sprague is slightly less than
that of Nugaines. The milling characteristics of Sprague are similar
to those of Nugaines. Sprague produces an excellent pastry-type
flour.
Breeder and foundation seed will be maintained by the Washington
State Crop Improvement Association under the supervision of the
agronomy and Soils Department, Washington State Agricultural Research
Center and the USDA, Pullman, WA 99164.

Registration of Springfield Wheat (Reg. No. 508).
D. W. Sunderman and Martin Wise
'SPRINGFIELD' soft white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em.
Thell.), CI 14589, was developed cooperatively by the Idaho
Agricultural Experiment Station and the Plant Science Research
Division, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture. A rust-susceptible, short strawed, 'Lemhi' type, 'Norin
10'/'Brevor'/2/3*'Lemhi 53'/3/'Lemhi 62,' was crossed with a stripe
and stem rust-resistant line similar to 'Lemhi 66,' 5*Lemhi
53/2/7*'Lee'/2/'Chinese'/Aegilops umbellulata at the Aberdeen Branch
of the Idaho Experiment Station in 1963. Stripe and stem rust-
resistant lines were selected from the F3 and F4 progeny of this cross
during 1965 and 1966. Springfield, one of the selected lines, was
released in 1970 to replace Lemhi and Federation types grown on
irrigated land in Idaho and Oregon.
Springfield is a semidwarf variety with moderately stiff straw.
It is resistant to the prevalent races of stem and stripe rust found
in Idaho; however, it is susceptible to leaf rust and powdery mildew.
Under irrigation, Springfield had slightly lower test weight than
Lemhi 66, the presently grown variety, but it had a 3-year yield
record averaging 19% more than Lemhi 66. Grain from Springfield has a
higher flour extraction than that from Lemhi 66, and the flour has
satisfactory pastry quality.
Spikes of Springfield are erect, awnleted, oblong to clavate and
dense (lower 1/2 of spike is middense). Glumes are glabrous, white,
long, midwide. Shoulders are midwide, oblique to rounded and beaks
are obtuse (approximately .5 mm long). The kernels are white, short,
soft, oval to ovate with a midwide, deep crease. Kernel cheeks are
rounded and the brush is midsized and midlong.
Breeder seed is maintained by the University of Idaho at the
Tetonia Branch Experiment Station.

'STEPHENS' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) CI 17596 is a soft
white winter wheat developed by the Oregon Agric. Exp. Stn. in
cooperation with SEA, USDA, from a cross between 'Nord Desprez' and
Pullman Selection 101 (CI 13438) made in 1965.
The moderate level of tolerance to eyespot caused by
Cercosporella herpotrichoides Fron. and the relatively early maturity
of Stephens, tested as OR 65-116-70-MBW-2, are advantages in the 300
mm or less rainfall areas where early fall seeding and drought
avoidance are desired. Conversely, Stephens has superior yield
potential under high rainfall or irrigated conditions, as evidenced by
its overall high and stable average yield performance in the Western
Regional Soft White Winter Wheat Nursery.
Stephens has mature plant resistance to prevalent races of stripe
rust (Puccinia striiformis West) and is resistant to prevalent races
of leaf rust (Puccinia rubigo-vera (De.) Wint. F. sp. tritici (Eriks.)
Carl.). It is moderately resistant to powdery mildew (Erysiphe
graminis De. F. sp. tritici Em. Marchal) and carries the B14 or B16
gene for resistance to common bunt (Tilletia foetida (Walls.) Liro or
T. caries (De.) Tul.).
The Western Wheat Quality Laboratory SEA-FR has identified
Stephens as having promising overall quality characteristics equal or
superior to most of the commonly grown soft white wheat cultivars.
Stephens is medium in height with a strong, white stem. The
spikes is awned, fusiform, middense, and inclined with glabrous,
white, midlong glumes. The shoulders are narrow, oblique, with beaks
narrow, accuminate, and 2 to 3 mm long. The awns are flared, white,
and 2 to 7 cm long. Kernels are relatively large, white, soft, and
ovate with small to midsize germ and midwide crease, which is middeep.
Stephens was named after the late Dave Stephens who, as
superintendent of the Sherman Branch Experiment Station, released many
of the earlier cultivars grown in the Pacific Northwest.
Foundation seed was made available in 1977. Breeder seed is
being maintained by the Crop Science Dep., Oregon State Univ.,
Corvallis, OR 97331.

Registration of Sterling Wheat (Reg. No. 683).
D. W. Sunderman, Gerald H. Ellis and Brendan O'Connell
'STERLING soft white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), (Reg.
no. 683) CI 17859, was selected as an F5 line from the cross
'Fielder'/4/2*A6535S-443-107/3/'Springfield'/2/PI 227196/A63166S-a-2-8
made at the University of Idaho Research and Extension Center in 1971.
A6535S-443-107 is a sister selection of Fielder and 'Fieldwin' and
A63166S-a-2-8 is a sister selection of 'Twin'. Sterling has been
tested in Idaho irrigated and dryland yield trials since 1975 and in
the Western Regional Spring Wheat Nursery and the Colorado irrigated
trials as IDO144 in 1978 to 1980.
Sterling is similar to Fielder in most agronomic and seed
characteristics and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
Sterling has averaged 1, 2, and 3 days earlier in maturity than
Fielder, Twin, and Fieldwin, respectively.
Sterling has averaged 2 cm shorter than Twin, 'Dirkwin', and
'Crestone' and 5 cm shorter than Fieldwin and has been more resistant
to lodging than the other cultivars in the Idaho irrigated trials.
Spikes of Sterling are erect to inclined, awned, fusiform to oblong,
and middense. Glumes are white, long, and midwide with narrow oblique
to square shoulders, beaks are narrow, acuminate, and 2 to 5 mm long.
The kernels are soft, white, ovate, and midlong and have a narrow,
middeep crease and rounded cheeks.
Sterling had moderate resistance to leaf rust caused by Puccinia
recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritci and stripe rust incited by
Puccinia striiformis West. when released, but has since become
susceptible to the Pacific Northwest races of both. It is moderately
susceptible to the prevalent races of powdery mildew (Erysiphe
graminis DC. ex. Merat f. sp. tritici) found in Idaho. Yields of
Sterling grown in nonirrigated Idaho yield trials for 3 years are
similar to those of Fieldwin. Under irrigation, the average yield of
Sterling for 6 station-years has been 105, 106, and 109% of Dirkwin,
Twin, and Fieldwin, respectively. In 4 years of testing under
irrigation in the San Luis Valley of Colo., Sterling yielded 92, 105,
and 107% of Crestone, twin, and Fielder respectively. The average
test weight of Sterling is similar to that of Fielder and 3 and 4
kg/hL higher than those of Twin and Crestone, respectively. Sterling
has satisfactory milling and pastry quality similar to that of
Fielder.
Sterling was named and released by USDA-ARS and the Idaho,
Oregon, and Colorado Agricultural Experiment Stations in 1980.

Registration of Talbot Wheat (Reg. No. 432).
A. G. O. Whiteside and F. Gfeller
'TALBOT', Triticum aestivum L. OH.4313-51-10, C513781, is a soft
white winter wheat variety developed through the Ontario Winter Wheat
Improvement Committee from a cross made at the Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa, in 1947. Talbot is a selection from the cross Trumbull-
Hope-Hussar X F1 (Dawson's Golden Chaff*3-Ridit X Cornell 595). It
was released to a limited number of growers in Ontario in the fall of
1962. Talbot is recommended for most of the winter wheat areas in
Ontario. It is an improvement over Genesee, the most widely grown
variety, in straw strength and in leaf rust and mildew resistance.
Agronomic and quality data obtained during 1959-1963 indicate Talbot
is equal to or better than Genesee. When conditions for early lodging
occurred, Talbot has given substantially higher grain yields than
Genesee. It is in the same class as Genesee in quality as a soft
white winter wheat and in loose smut resistance.
Talbot has a mid-long, mid-dense, fusiform spike with apical
awns. The glumes are smooth and brown; the beaks, mid-wide; the
shoulders, mid-wide, oblique to square. The kernels are white, soft,
ovate to oval, the crease is mid-wide and mid-deep, and the cheeks
rounded to angular. The straw is purplish at maturity, mid-tall to
tall, and strong. It is mid-season in maturity in Ontario. Talbot
resists the same races of loose smut as Genesee, is moderately
resistant to leaf rust and mildew, but susceptible to bunt and stem
rust. Under certain conditions, Talbot will shatter. The grain
sprouts readily in the field when moisture conditions are favorable.

Registration of Tecumseh Wheat (Reg. No. 546).
E. H. Everson, M. V. Wiess, A. H. Ellingboe, C. R. Trupp, C. R. Olien,
R. Gallun, and W. T. Yamazaki
'TECUMSEH,' Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell., CI 17287, is a soft
white winter wheat, jointly released in December 1973, by ARS, USDA,
and the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station. Tecumseh has the
same complex parentage as 'Arthur' soft red winter wheat:
"Minhardi'/'Wabash'/5/'Fultz
Selection'/'Hungarian'/2/W38/3/Wabash/4/'Fairfield'/6/'Redcoat'
sib/'Wis, CI
12633'/7/'Vigo'/4/'Trumbull'/2/'Hope'/'Hussar'/3/'Fulhio'/'Purkof'
(Purdue 427al-1-3)*3/5/'Kenya Farmer.' The series of crosses
including the final cross 5752C1 were made at Purdue University, with
selection in F3 and beyond at Michigan State University. Breeders
seed originated from 60 advanced-generation head rows grown and
observed for uniformity in 1971.
Tecumseh was tested under the Michigan accession numbers A6629
and B0629 and was first tested in advanced performance trials in 1969.
In 30 nurseries in 5 years, it outyielded 'Genesee' by 10%. In 17
nurseries in 1971, 1972, and 1973, it outyielded Genesee by 15%. In
1972, severe winter damage occurred in north central and northeastern
(The Saginaw Valley and the "Thumb Area") Michigan. Tecumseh survived
these conditions and outyielded Genesee and 'Yorkstar' by 40 and 49%,
respectively. Tecumseh was in the uniform Eastern Nursery in 1972 and
1973 where it demonstrated wide adaptation.
Tecumseh is the first high-yielding soft white winter wheat
cultivar that is adapted to Michigan conditions and that couples short
plant height (lodging resistance) with high test weight. It is also
the first white cultivar released in Michigan with resistance to wheat
spindle streak mosaic virus and with superior winter survival.
Tecumseh has better winter survival than Genesee, Yorkstar, 'Ionia,'
'Ticonderoga,' and 'Frederick.' Its hardiness is of the approximate
magnitude of Arthur, 'Arthur 71,' and 'Abe.' This cultivar is
resistant to races A and C of Hessian fly and the races of powdery
mildew and leaf rust prevalent in Michigan at the time of release.
In milling and baking qualities, Tecumseh is similar to Arthur.
Although about 1% higher in protein than Genesee or Ionia, its
granulation characteristics, break flour yield, flour acid viscosity,
and water-retention properties are comparable to those of the above
soft white varieties. It has performed well in the cookie test, and
the cultivar continues the tradition of high pastry quality among
Michigan white wheats.
Tecumseh is a winter wheat with moderately early maturity (3 days
later than Arthur and 3 days earlier than Genesee) and short,
moderately stiff white straw. The heads are lax and of medium length;
the glumes are white with short awns; the kernels are soft, white,
medium size, and ovate with a tight crease; the cheeks are rounded;
the brush is midlong; and the germ is midsized. On the average,
tiller number is high, kernel number per head is low, kernel weight,
and test weight are high.
Breeder seed will be maintained by the Michigan Agricultural
Experiment Station, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824.

Registration of Ticonderoga Wheat (Reg. No. 581).
Neal F. Jensen
'TICONDEROGA' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.), CI 17290,
is a soft white winter wheat developed at the Cornell University
Agricultural Experiment Station. Ticonderoga is a pure line selection
(formerly NY 57166-17) from the following 1957 hybrid made at Ithaca
by the author: 'Genesee' /4/ NY wheat-rye selection /3/ Genesee /2/
'Purdue No. 8' / 'Cornell 595' /5/ 'Heine's VII' /6/ 2*Genesee
/3/'Brevor' / 'Norin 10' /4/ 'Avon' sib.
Outstanding characteristics of Ticonderoga are superior yield in
a short, lodging resistant plant. It has a winter habit of growth and
is midseason in maturity. The straw is the shortest among Cornell
varieties and provides excellent lodging resistance. The long head
with white chaff is awnless and nodding. The kernels of Ticonderoga
are midlong, soft, white, plump, and ovate to oval; the crease is
midwide and mid-deep with rounded to angular cheeks. Ticonderoga has
excellent resistance to loose smut (Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.)
and moderate resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis DC. f.
sp. tritici Em. Marchal) but is susceptible to common (Tilletia caries
(DC.) Tul.) and dwarf bunt (T. controversa Kuhn) and to current races
of leaf rust (Puccinia rubrigo-vera DC. Wint. f. sp. tritici (Eriks.)
Carl.). Tests for stem rust (P graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks.
and E. Henn.) conducted at the Cereal Rust Laboratory, St. Paul,
Minn., in 1975 show Ticonderoga to have excellent seedling resistance
to eight of nine isolates used. Test weight per hl is moderately low
but essentially equal to that of Yorkstar. Milling and baking quality
are excellent and are comparable to other Cornell varieties.
Performance characteristics of Ticonderoga and four other Cornell
varieties over a 10-year period at Ithaca are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yield Testwet. Height
(q/ha) (kg/hl) (cm)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Genesee 33.8 73.6 120
Avon 39.2 74.5 114
Yorkstar 40.5 71.3 103
Arrow 41.1 75.0 103
Ticonderoga 46.1 71.8 92
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The generation sequence of seed production will be Breeder,
Foundation, and Certified. Ticonderoga was released in 1973 and 9
acres of seed were sown for 1974 harvest. Ticonderoga is named after
historic Fort Ticonderoga in northern New York -- particularly
appropriate since the first commercial sale of certified seed will
occur in 1976, the America Revolution Bicentennial year. Breeder seed
will be maintained by the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Registration of Treasure Wheat (Reg. No. 731).
D. W. Sunderman and Brendan O'Connell
'TREASURE' (Reg. no. 731) (PI 468962) (Triticum aestivum L.) soft
white spring wheat was developed cooperatively by the Idaho
Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA-ARS. It was derived from the
cross 'Blueboy II'/4/ 7*'Springfield'/3/ 'Asosan'/'Federation'/2/
A63167S-A-1-50-45-5/5/ ID0016/2/ 'Penjamo'sib/ 'Gabo 55'. A63167S-A-
1-50-45-5 is a sister selection of 'Twin'. ID0016 was a selection
from the cross 'Lemhi 53'*2/'Nainari 60'. The final cross was made in
1973 and Treasure was obtained from a bulked F5 head row harvested in
1978. Treasure was tested in the Idaho yield trials for 7 yr (1979-
1985), in the Tri-State Yield Nursery in 1982 and in the Western
Regional Spring Wheat Nursery for 2 yr (1983-1984). It was jointly
released by the Idaho and Oregon Agricultural Experiment Stations and
USDA-ARS in 1986.
Treasure is a semidwarf cultivar that has erect to inclined
oblong, dense, awned spikes. Glumes are white, long, and midwide,
with midwide, oblique shoulders. Beaks are narrow, acuminate, and 3
to 13 mm long. The kernels are soft and have a kernel shape similar
to that of club wheat. The kernels are midlong and ovate with rounded
cheeks and a mid-deep crease.
Treasure, grown under irrigation, has had an average height of 84
cm compared to heights of 86 and 91 cm for 'Owens' and 'Bliss' grown
in the same trials. The straw strength of Treasure is similar to that
of Owens and weaker than that of Bliss. It is intermediate in
maturity and heads 1 or 2 d later than 'Dirkwin' and Owens, and 2 d
earlier than Bliss.
Treasure has resistance to Pacific Northwest races of stripe rust
(caused by Puccinia striiformis West.) and has moderate susceptibility
to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f
sp.tritici), black chaff (caused by Xanthomonas translucens f.sp.
undulosa), and kernel black point (caused by Alternaria species).
In 10 station yr of testing in the Idaho irrigated nurseries,
Treasure has averaged 349.8 and 316.1 kg/ha-1 higher in yield than
Owens and Dirkwin, respectively. In 5 yr of testing at the Tetonia
nonirrigated station, it yielded 148 and 161 kg ha-1 more than Owens
and Dirkwin, respectively. The grain volume weight of Treasure has
averaged 752 kg m-3 in the irrigated trials and 736 kg m-3 on dryland.
The milling and pastry quality of Treasure is superior to that of
the other currently grown soft white spring cultivars.
Breeder and foundation seed of Treasure will be maintained by the
University of Idaho, Aberdeen Research and Extension Center, P.O. Box
AA, Aberdeen, ID 83210.

Registration of Tres Wheat (Reg. No. 711).
R.E. Allan, C.J. Peterson, G.L. Rubenthaler, R.F. Line, and K.J.
Morrison
'TRES' wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. no. 711, CI17917), is a
soft white club winter wheat cultivar developed cooperatively by the
USDA-ARS and the College of Agriculture and Home Economics of
Washington State University. It was jointly released by USDA-ARS and
the Agricultural Experiment Station of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho
in August 1984.
Tres was derived from a single F3 plant selected in 1973 from the
cross CI12666/6*'Omar'/3/T. spelta/'Coastal'/3*Omar. It is an
intermediate, one-gene semidwarf cultivar with awnleted compact
spikes, white glumes, and white straw. Its kernels are white, short,
soft, ovate with a small germ, and short brush.
Tres expresses intermediate adult-plant resistance to the
prevalent U.S. Pacific Northwest races of stripe rust (caused by
Puccinia striiformis West.) and leaf rust (caused by Puccinia
recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp tritici). Tres is resistant to the
current local stripe rust races (R.F. Line, 1985, personal
communication). It has moderate resistance to powdery mildew (caused
by Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici E. Marchal). It is
genetically heterogeneous for resistance to common bunt [caused by
Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul & T. foetida (Wall.) Liro], with some plants
having the Bt4 gene for resistance. Like other club wheat cultivars,
Tres is moderately susceptible to strawbreaker foot rot [caused by
Psuedocercosporella herpotrichoides (Fron) Dei.]; it is susceptible to
flag smut [caused by Urocystis agropyri (Preuss) Schroet.],
cephalosporium stripe (caused by Cephalosporium gramineum Nis & Ika.),
dwarf bunt (caused by Tilletia controversa Kuhn.), and stem rust
(caused by Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp tritici Eriks. & Henn).
Tres was tested as WA 6698 in Washington State trials in 1978 to
1984 and in the Western Regional White Winter Wheat Nursery during
1980 to 1984. Tres has high yield potential and produces well in
situations where foliar diseases for which it has resistance are
prevalent. Tres usually surpasses the yields of other club wheat
cultivars. In 96 test-yrs in Washington, the average grain yields of
Tres have been 15, 14, and 13% greater than those of 'Nugaines',
'Faro', and 'Barbee', respectively. In 80 test-yrs of regional
trials, the mean yield of Tres was 11, 12.6, and 4% greater than
Nugaines, Faro, 'Tyee', and 'Crew', respectively; its mean yield was
1% less than that of 'Stephens'.
The heading date of Tres is similar to Tyee and Crew but it heads
about 2 day later and earlier than Faro and 'Paha', respectively. It
averages 2 and 6 cm taller than Tyee and Faro, respectively, and is 4
cm shorter than Paha. Tres generally has heavier volume weight than
other club wheat cultivars; the mean L wt. of Tres has exceeded the
means of Faro, Crew, and Paha by 37, 22, and 10 g, respectively. It
is similar to Faro for winterhardiness, lodging resistance, and
seedling vigor. Tres has less winterhardiness than Tyee and less
seedling vigor than 'Moro' and Paha.
Tests by the USDA-ARS Western Wheat Quality Laboratory indicate
that Tres has very satisfactory club wheat milling and flour quality
characteristics; it is similar to Tyee for cookie diameter, noddle
score, and Japanese sponge cake volume. Tres is one of the components
of the multiline, Crew. It is the first U.S. Pacific Northwest club
wheat cultivar with combined resistances to stripe rust, leaf rust,
and powdery mildew. Tres should be grown in areas where stand
establishment and cold injury problems are infrequent. It is intended
for production in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon.
Breeder and foundation seed of Tres is maintained by the
Washington State Crop Improvement Association under the supervision of
the Agronomy and Soils Department, Washington State University,
Pullman, WA 99164-6420.

Registration of Twin Wheat (Reg. No. 509).
D. W. Sunderman and Martin Wise
'TWIN' soft white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.),
CI 14588, was developed cooperatively by the Idaho Agricultural
Experiment Station and the Plant Science Research Division,
Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. A
rust-susceptible, short-strawed 'Lemhi' type, 'Norin
10'/'Brevor'/2/3*'Lemhi 53'/3/'Lemhi 62,' was crossed with a stripe
and stem rust-resistant line similar to 'Lemhi 66,'5*Lemhi
53/2/7*'Lee'/2/'Chinese'/Aegilops umbellulata at the Aberdeen Branch
of the Idaho Experiment Station in 1963. Stripe and stem rust-
resistant lines were selected from the F3 and F4 progeny of this cross
during 1965 and 1966. Twin, a sister selection of 'Springfield,' was
released by Idaho, Oregon, and Washington Agricultural Experiment
Stations and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1971 for use on
irrigated and high rainfall dryland acreage in the Pacific Northwest.
Twin is a semidwarf moderately stiff strawed variety with medium
maturity. The average height of Twin grown under irrigation is 84
centimeters; however, it may vary from 55 to 101 cm depending on
cultural practices and location. It is resistant to the prevalent
races of stripe and stem rust found in Idaho, but it is susceptible to
leaf rust and powdery mildew. In Idaho irrigated nurseries, the
average test weight of Twin was 76 kg/hl (58,9 lb/bu), similar to that
of Springfield, but it had a 3-year yield record averaging 4 and 26%
higher than Springfield and Lemhi 66, respectively. Pastry quality of
Twin is satisfactory and similar to that of Lemhi 66 and Springfield.
Its grain flour extraction is equal to Lemhi 66 but lower than
Springfield.
Spikes of Twin are erect to inclined, awnless (rarely apically
awnleted, awnlets 2 to 6 mm long), oblong to clavate, dense (lower 1/2
of head is middense). Glumes are glabrous, white, long and wide;
shoulders are midwide, oblique to rounded and beaks are midwide,
obtuse (approximately .5 mm long). The kernels are white, short,
soft, oval to ovate with a midwide, deep crease. Kernel cheeks are
rounded and the brush is midsized and midlong.
Breeder seed is maintained by the University of Idaho at the
Tetonia Branch Experiment Station.

Registration of Tyee Wheat (Reg. No. 640).
R. E. Allan, C. J. Peterson, R. F. Line, D. W. George, and G. L.
Rubenthaler
'TYEE' wheat, Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell., CI 17773, is a
semidwarf club winter wheat developed cooperatively by AR-SEA-USDA and
the College of Agriculture of Washington State University. It was
jointly released to growers by AR-SEA-USDA and the Washington, Idaho
and Oregon Agricultural Experiment Stations in 1979.
Tyee was derived from a single F3 row selected in 1971 at
Pullman, Washington, from the cross CI 13431/CI 7805/2/CI
13447/2//3*Omar. The original selection had two levels of stripe rust
(caused by Puccinia striiformis West.) resistance and 65 F8 spike rows
o the higher level were composited in 1976 to develop Tyee.
Tyee is a white-glume, white-straw, awnletted-compact-spike, one-
gene semidwarf winter wheat with medium maturity. Kernels are white,
short, soft, ovate; germ small; crease mid-wide, shallow; cheeks
rounded; brush mid-sized, mid-long to short.
Tyee was tested as WA 6155 in Washington trials during 1973 to
1978 and in the Western Regional White Winter Wheat Nursery during
1975 to 1977. It is slightly more lodging resistant and averages five
cm shorter in height than 'Paha.' Tyee is adapted to 34 to 50 cm
rainfall areas of the Pacific Northwest where it has demonstrated high
yield potential. In regional and Washington state tests of 1975 to
1977, Tyee exceeded the overall average yield of 'Moro' (55
site/year), Paha (35 site/years) and 'Nugaines (65 site/years) by 22,
10 and 1%, respectively. Field observations and crown-freeze tests
indicate that Tyee has more coldhardiness than does Paha. It has
seedling vigor similar to that of Nugaines. Tyee has test weight
comparable to Moro but averages about 2 kg/hl lower than Paha.
Tyee has given a resistant seedling reaction to 16 races of the
stripe rust fungus and has shown a higher level of field resistance in
17 site/years of tests. It apparently has the Bt1 and Bt4 genes for
resistance to the common bunt fungus (Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul.) (J.
A. Hoffmann, personal communication). Tyee is moderately susceptible
to strawbreaker foot rot (caused by Pseudocercosporella
herpotrichoides (Fron) Dei.], similar to 'Barbee.' Like Paha, it is
susceptible to flag smut [caused by Urocystis agropyri (Preuss)
Schroet.], leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f.
sp. tritici), and powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe graminis DCI sp.
tritici E. Marchal).
Tyee has acceptable milling and baking club wheat quality that is
very similar to 'Faro' according to the Western Wheat Quality
Laboratory, ARS-SEA-USDA of Pullman, Washington.
Breeder and foundation seed of Tyee will be maintained by the
Washington State Crop Improvement Assoc. under supervision of the
Agronomy and Soils Dept., Washington State Univ., Pullman, Washington
99164.

Registration of Urquie Wheat (Reg. No. 571).
C. F. Konzak, E. Donaldson, M. Nagamitsu, M. A. Davis, and G. L.
Rubenthaler
'URQUIE' Triticum aestivum (L.) em Thell., CI 17413, a soft white
spring wheat was released jointly by the Washington and Idaho Agric.
Exp. Stns., and the ARS-USDA, in 1975.
Urquie was selected from the cross 'Gaines'/'Marfed' made at
Washington State Univ. Dry Land Research Unit at Lind, Wash., in 1961.
The cultivar evolved from an F5 derived line selected in 1967 from a
bulk population for high kernel weight and maturity (plumpness). It
has been in Washington yield trials since 1968 and in the Western
Regional Spring Wheat Nursery as WA 5876 since 1971.
Urquie is described as follows: plant spring habit, medium late
maturing, relatively day sensitive (similar to Marfed and Gaines),
semi-dwarf stature; stem white; spike awned, nearly parallel,
middense, multiflorous, inclined; glumes glabrous, white, midlong and
midwide; shoulders narrow (sometimes midwide) and oblique; beaks
acuminate and midlong to long. Kernels are medium soft to soft,
white, midlong, and ovate; crease narrow and middeep; cheeks rounded;
brush small to midsized and short to midlong.
Urquie has shown cold tolerance (winter survival) distinctly
superior to Marfed in fall sown tests at Pullman and Lind since 1969.
It carries a type of mature plant, temperature-sensitive resistance to
prevailing races of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis West.) but is
susceptible to stripe rust in the seedling stage and susceptible to
prevailing races of leaf rust (P. recondita Rob. ex Desm.). It is
slightly more susceptible to dryland foot rot [caused by Fusarium
culmorum (W.G. Smith) Sacc.] than Marfed or 'Twin.' It is moderately
susceptible to local forms of powdery mildew (Erisiphe graminis D.C.)
and carries resistance to some races of common bunt. Yields of
Urquie, especially under dryland conditions have been consistently
superior to Marfed and often superior to Twin. Urquie produces grain
superior in test weight compared with Twin and equal or superior to
that of Marfed and 'Fielder.' Urquie has milling properties
distinctly superior to those of Marfed, Gaines, Twin, and frequently
Fielder. Flour from Urquie has pastry and bread type baking
properties similar to Marfed and produces higher loaf volume than
either Twin or Fielder.
Seed classes of Urquie are breeder, foundation, registered, and
certified. Washington State Univ., in cooperation with Washington
State Crop Improvement Assoc., will maintain breeder and foundation
classes of seed. Seed requests should be sent to Washington State
Crop Improvement Assoc., N. 513 Front Street, Yakima, WA 98901.

REGISTRATION OF WHITE ODESSA WHEAT (Reg. No. 251)
J. A. Clark
WHITE ODESSA (C. I. No. 4655) was developed in the cooperative
experiments of the Office of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of
Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, and the
Oregon Experiment Station at the Sherman County branch station, Moro,
Oreg. It is the result of a field selection made in the Cache Valley
of Utah, in 1915. In experiments at the Moro station, starting in
1918, it has been found to be resistant to bunt or stinking smut and
also to be a high-yielding variety. It is similar in appearance to
Odessa except in having white kernels. The superior characters of
White Odessa are resistance to bunt, drought resistance, and good
yields. It should follow Kofod (Reg. No. 68) in the present scheme of
classification. The annul and average yields of White Odessa in
triplicate 1/20th acre plats at the Moro, Oreg., station for the four
years 1922 to 1925, inclusive, in comparison with Kharkof, are as
follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Varieties 1922 1923 1924 1925 Average
----------------------------------------------------------------------
White Odessa (new) 23.0 35.9 18.5 28.0 26.4
Kharkof (standard) 17.1 35.3 20.3 27.4 25.0

Registration of Yamhill Wheat (Reg. No. 511).
Warren E. Kronstad, Wilson H. Foote, and Mathias F. Kolding
'YAMHILL' (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell), CI 14563 is a soft
white winter wheat developed from the cross 'Heines VIII'/'Alba'
('Redmond') made in 1960 at the Oregon Agricultural Experiment
Station. The original selection was made from an F3 row with
additional selections made from F6 head rows. Yamhill was released in
1969.
Yamhill is midtall, with white stiff straw. The spike is
awnleted, dense, inclined, and fusiform to oblong in shape. Glumes
are glabrous, white, wide with narrow to midwide shoulders. Beaks are
obtuse to acute and 1 to 2 mm in length. Kernels are white, midlong,
soft, ovate to oval and have a small germ. The crease is narrow to
midwide with deep rounded cheeks. A midsize to midlong brush is
present.
Yamhill is adapted to the winter wheat growing areas of western
Oregon and Washington. Yamhill is resistant to the prevalent races of
stripe rust and moderately resistant to leaf rust and leaf blotch. It
is susceptible to common and dwarf smut races observed in eastern
Oregon and Washington.
A summary comparing Yamhill with the present commercial varieties
is presented in Table 1. Yamhill has consistently outyielded
'Druchamp' and 'Nugaines' in yield trials conducted in western Oregon.

Registration of Yorkstar Wheat (Reg. No. 475).
Neal F. Jensen
'YORKSTAR' wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.), CI 14026, is
a soft white winter wheat of medium height developed at the Cornell
University Agricultural Experiment Station and distributed to
commercial growers in 1968. It is a pure line selection from a series
of backcrosses made during the period 1952-1956 by N. F. Jensen at
Ithaca, New York. The parentage of Yorkstar is: 3 'Genesee' 5X
'Yorkwin' 2X 'Brevor' X 'Norin 10;' the Brevor X Norin 10 semidwarf
selection was obtained from O. A. Vogel.
Yorkstar visually resembles its recurrent parent Genesee except
for height (it is about 7 inches shorter). It has been outstanding
for yield, averaging 9% above Genesee in 79 nurseries conducted over a
period of 6 years in New York and at 23 experiment stations
cooperating in the USDA Uniform Eastern Soft Wheat Nurseries; the mean
yield of Yorkstar was 53.40, that of Genesee 49.07 bushels per acre.
Yorkstar has a winter habit of growth and midseason maturity; the
white straw is medium short with greater lodging resistance than
Genesee. The mid-long head with red chaff is apically awned with a
distinct nodding aspect at maturity. The kernels of Yorkstar are soft
white, short to mid-long, ovate to oval; crease is mid-wide, mid-deep;
cheeks are rounded to angular.
The quality of Yorkstar is outstanding; protein is about one
percent lower and the flour shows finer granularity than that of
Genesee; lower protein is desired to counteract the trend to higher
protein resulting from higher nitrogen applications by farmers, and
finer granularity makes for better cake baking. Test weight of
Yorkstar is about a pound per bushel lower than Genesee but flour
yields are equivalent.
The reactions of Yorkstar to environmental hazards, such as
pathogens and field sprouting, are expected to be similar to those of
Genesee. Yorkstar is adapted to the eastern soft white winter wheat
areas.
The generation sequence of seed production will be Breeder,
Foundation and Certified. Breeder seed will be maintained by the
Ithaca station. Performance data and other information on Yorkstar
were reported by Jensen.

REGISTRATION OF YORKWIN WHEAT (Reg. No. 395)
E. G. Heyne
YORKWIN, CI 11855, is a soft white winter wheat developed by
Cornell University and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA and
distributed in 1935. Neal F. Jensen made the application for
registration.
The parents of Yorkwin are Dietz and Goldcoin. The cross was
made in 1919 and H. H. Love made the final selection in 1924.
Information on Yorkwin has been published several times.
At the time of its release, Yorkwin yielded significantly higher
than varieties being grown. Eight years of yield data at Ithaca, New
York, gave the following results: Yorkwin, 39.7 bushels per acre;
Valprize, 35.2: Forward, 35.0; and Honor, 33.9.
For many years, Yorkwin was the principal wheat variety in New
York and Michigan. Over one million acres were grown annually for a
number of years and in 1954 there were still about three-quarters of a
million acres. Yorkwin was replaced primarily by Cornell 595 (Reg.
No. 390).
This variety has a winter habit; midseason maturity; is midtall
in height; has a midstrong, white stem; an awnletted, fusiform to
oblong, mid-dense spike; white, glabrous glumes; and soft, white
kernels.
