‘Vision 45’ (Reg. No. CV‐1110, PI 667642), is a hard red winter (HRW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar that was developed and tested as VA07HRW‐45 and released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station in 2012. Vision 45 was derived from the cross ‘Provinciale’/‘Vision 10’ using a modified bulk breeding method. It was tested in replicated yield trials in Virginia (2008–2014) and in the USDA‐ARS Uniform Bread Wheat (UBW) Trials (2009–2014). Vision 45 is a widely adapted, high‐yielding, awned, semidwarf (unknown Rht gene) HRW wheat with mid‐ to late‐season spike emergence, strong straw strength, and resistance or moderate resistance to diseases prevalent in the mid‐Atlantic region. In Virginia, Vision 45 was the highest‐yielding hard winter wheat over a 4‐yr period, having an average grain yield (5499 kg ha−1) that was slightly higher than the soft red winter wheat cultivar Tribute (PI 654422), which was 5181 kg ha−1. Over 6 yr and 97 environments in the UBW Trials, Vision 45 had an average grain yield of 4924 kg ha−1, one of the highest‐yielding hard wheat cultivars. Vision 45 has good end‐use quality on the basis of comparisons with the HRW wheat check cultivar Jagger (PI 593688), for flour yield (70.7 versus 70.3 g 100 g−1), flour protein (10.5 versus 10.6 g 100 g−1), flour water absorption (60.7 vs. 61.3 g 100 g−1), dough mixing tolerance (2.7 versus 2.7), pup‐loaf volume (798 versus 773 cm3), and crumb grain scores (3.3 versus 2.8).

The objective of this research was to develop widely adapted hard winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties to meet the needs of mills, bakeries, and consumers in the eastern and Great Plains regions of the United States. ‘LCS Wizard’ (Reg. No. CV‐1111, PI 669574), a hard red winter (HRW) wheat, was developed and tested as VA08HRW‐80 and co‐released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station and Limagrain Cereal Seeds, LLC in 2013. LCS Wizard was derived from the three‐way cross S.6742/92PAN1#33//92PIN#107 using a modified bulk breeding method. LCS Wizard is a widely adapted, high‐yielding, awned, semidwarf (Rht1) HRW wheat with midseason spike emergence and resistance or moderate resistance to diseases prevalent in the mid‐Atlantic and Great Plains regions. In the 2014 Uniform Bread Wheat Trial conducted over 17 locations in eastern states, LCS Wizard produced an average grain yield of 4717 kg ha−1, similar to ‘Vision 45’ (4650 kg ha−1). In the northern Great Plains, the average grain yield over 54 locations in 2012 of LCS Wizard (4419 kg ha−1) was slightly lower than that of ‘Overland’ (4659 kg ha−1). In the southern Great Plains, its average grain yield (3844 kg ha−1) over 85 locations was slightly higher than that of Fuller (3757 kg ha−1). LCS Wizard has acceptable end‐use quality in both the eastern and Great Plains regions of the United States.

Vision 50' (Reg. No. CV-1152, PI 679953), a hard red winter (HRW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar, was derived from the cross 'Jagalene'/'Provinciale' using a modiied bulk breeding method. Vision 50 was tested as VA09HRW-64 in replicated yield trials in Virginia (2011-2017) and in the USDA-ARS Uniform Bread Wheat Trials (2012-2017) and released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station in 2016. Vision 50 is a widely adapted, high-yielding, awned, semidwarf (unknown Rht gene) HRW wheat having mid-to late-season spike emergence, strong straw strength, and resistance or moderate resistance to diseases prevalent in the mid-Atlantic region. In the Virginia Bread Wheat Elite Test from 2014 to 2017, Vision 50 produced a mean yield of 5067 kg ha −1 that was similar to the highest-yielding (5757 kg ha −1 ) cultivar Shirley, a soft red winter wheat check. Vision 50 has acceptable end-use quality on the basis of comparisons with the HRW wheat check cultivar Jagger for wheat protein (11.3 vs. 12.2 g 100 g −1 ), lour yield (72.7 vs. 66.4 g 100 g −1 ), lour water absorption (59.5 vs. 62.3 g 100 g −1 ), dough mixing tolerance (2.7 vs. 3.0), pup-loaf volume (815 vs. 822 cm 3 ), and crumb grain scores (4.2 vs. 3.8).
