AAC Chiffon soft white spring wheat

Registration of Zak ERA8 Soft White Spring Wheat Germplasm with Enhanced Response to ABA and Increased Seed Dormancy.

Zak ERA8 (ENHANCED RESPONSE to ABA8) (Reg. No. GP-966, PI 669443) is a unique line derived from soft white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar Zak that has increased seed dormancy but after-ripens within 10 to 16 wk. The goal in developing this germplasm was to use increased seed dormancy to improve tolerance to preharvest sprouting, a problem that can cause severe economic losses. Thi...

Registration of ‘Faller’ Spring Wheat

224 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol 2, No. 3, September 2008 ‘Faller’ (Reg. No. CV-1026, PI 648350) hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) was tested as experimental line ND805, developed at North Dakota State University (NDSU), and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (NDAES). In addition to researchers at NDSU, USDA-ARS researchers at Fargo, ND, contri...

Efficiency of nitrogen fertilization in spring wheat

An assessment of the nitrogen fertilization efficiency should not only include quantitativeand qualitative yield changes, but also an analysis of formation some indicators such as: Nharvest index (NHI), N use efficiency (NUE), N utilization efficiency (NUtE), N agronomicefficiency (NAE), N physiological efficiency (NPE) and N apparent recovery fraction (NRF).The objective of the study was the e...

Genetic Dissection of End-Use Quality Traits in Adapted Soft White Winter Wheat

Soft white wheat is used in domestic and foreign markets for various end products requiring specific quality profiles. Phenotyping for end-use quality traits can be costly, time-consuming and destructive in nature, so it is advantageous to use molecular markers to select experimental lines with superior traits. An association mapping panel of 469 soft white winter wheat cultivars and advanced g...
