Research of Malting Procedures for Winter Hard Wheat Varieties—Part I

Radiant hard red winter wheat

Thomas, J. B., Conner, R. L. and Graf, R. J. 2012. Radiant hard red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 169 175. Radiant hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is well adapted to the non-hazard region for stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.) within the Canadian prairies. Based on evaluation relative to Norstar, CDC Osprey, AC Tempest and AC Bellatri...

Registration of ‘Mace’ Hard Red Winter Wheat

Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol. 3, No. 1, January 2009 51 W heat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is one of the most common, and devastating, diseases impacting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the western Great Plains of North America. Annual production losses of 5% have been estimated, although severe local WSMV infection can result in complete crop failure (French and Stenger, Regis...

Levels of Protein and Protein Composition in Hard Winter Wheat Flours and the Relationship to Breadmaking

Cereal Chem. 83(4):418–423 Protein and protein fractions were measured in 49 hard winter wheat flours to investigate their relationship to breadmaking properties, particularly loaf volume, which varied from 760 to 1,055 cm and crumb grain score of 1.0–5.0 from 100 g of flour straight-dough bread. Protein composition varied with flour protein content because total soluble protein (SP) and gliadi...

Relationship of base temperature to development of winter wheat

Development of wheat (Triticum spp.) is primary driven by temperature, but is also affected by other factors such as vernalization and photoperiod. Crop growth and development are often described in terms of calendar days. However, determining the development in terms of thermal time or physiological time is more accurate because it is an accumulation of the caloric energy needed for the o...
