Registration of ‘McCormick’ Wheat

Identification of Pm8 Suppressor at the Pm3 Locus in Soft Red Winter Wheat

“…Eleven lines with 'Tribute', 'McCormick', or 'Dominion' in their pedigrees were characterized as 1AL.1RS translocation in the 2010 GAWN materials. These lines possessing Pm17 inherited from Amigo (Griff ey et al, 2005a(Griff ey et al, , 2005b all showed good resistance to Ken-2-5, which was consistent with the avirulent formula of this isolate. Pm17 in 1AL.1RS translocation has protected wheat from powdery mildew damage to some degree, and importantly it will not be suppressed by Pm3a since they are mutually exclusive in wheat lines that have either an intact pair of 1A chromosomes or a pair of translocation chromosomes Lowry et al, 1984).…”

Haplotype diversity of stem rust resistance loci in uncharacterized wheat lines

“…The following cultivars with known resistance genes were included as controls: 'NC-Neuse' (Sr36; PI633037) (Murphy et al, 2004), 'McCormick' (PI632691; Sr24 and Sr1RS Amigo ) (Griff ey et al, 2005), 'AGS 2000' (Sr31; PI692596) (Johnson et al, 2002), and 'Eagle' (PI365582; Sr26) (Martin 1971). The origin of the translocated chromosome segments including these fi ve genes is summarized in Table 2.…”

Molecular Characterization of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in U.S. Soft Red Winter Wheat Breeding Line VA00W‐38

“…The Virginia Tech cultivar Roane is widely adapted and was one of the first SRW wheat cultivars identified as having resistance to FHB. Roane and its sib lines have been used widely as parents in the SRW wheat region and are included in the parentage of VA00W‐38 and other FHB resistant cultivars including Jamestown and Oakes (Griffey et al, 2001, 2005a, 2005b, 2010).…”

“…Incorporation of FHB resistance from the major exotic source, Sumai 3, and its derivatives has not been very successful in soft red winter wheat breeding programs due to linkage drag and persistence of unfavorable traits in derived lines. Adapted SRW wheat cultivars possessing moderate levels of native FHB resistance include Ernie, Truman, Bess, Massey, Roane, Tribute, Jamestown, Freedom, and Goldfield (McKendry et al, 1995, 2005, 2007; Starling et al, 1984; Griffey et al, 2001, 2005a, 2010; Gooding et al, 1997; Ohm et al, 2000). These cultivars and other FHB resistant cultivars and experimental lines from breeding programs in the eastern United States are used predominantly in the SRW wheat region.…”
