Registration of ‘Vision 30’ Wheat

Abstract

‘Vision 30’ (Reg. No. CV‐1062, PI 661153) hard red winter (HRW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed and tested as VA06HRW‐49 and released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station in March 2010. Vision 30 was derived from the cross 92PAN1#33/VA97W‐414. Vision 30 is high yielding, awned, and semidwarf (Rht2) and has midseason spike emergence and resistance to powdery mildew [caused by Blumeria graminis (DC) E.O. Speer]. In Virginia, the average grain yield (2007–2009) of Vision 30 (5301 kg ha−1) was similar to that of the soft red winter wheat check cultivar Renwood 3260 (5536 kg ha−1). Vision 30 was evaluated in the 2008 and 2009 USDA‐ARS Uniform Bread Wheat Nursery and produced mean yields (4992 and 4690 kg ha−1) that were similar (P ≤ 0.05) to those of the highest‐yielding HRW wheat entry. In comparison with the hard wheat cultivar ‘Lakin’, Vision 30 has acceptable end‐use quality on the basis of flour yield (69.9 versus 70.3 g 100 g−1), flour protein (10.7 versus 9.5 g 100 g−1), flour water absorption (59.8 versus 59.1 g 100 g−1), dough mixing tolerance (3.3 versus 2.3), pup‐loaf volume (812 versus 803 cm3), and crumb grain scores (3.3 versus 3.7).

Registration of ‘Kharoba’: A Bread Wheat Cultivar Developed through Doubled Haploid Breeding

“…The reaction of Kharoba to disease and insect pests (0–9, where 0 = immunity to 9 = very susceptible, Hall et al, 2011) has been evaluated across diverse Moroccan environments. Leaf rust is endemic in the major wheat‐growing zones of Morocco (Singh et al, 2002).…”

Registration of ‘Vision 45’ Wheat

“…Average plant height of Vision 45 (102 cm) is 10 cm taller than Vision 40 and 15 cm taller than Vision 30. Straw strength, based on a lodging rating from 0 = erect to 9 = completely lodged, of Vision 45 (1.4) is better than ‘Vision 30’ (2.4) (PI 661153, Hall et al, 2011a).…”

“…H ard red winter (HRW) wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) production in the mid‐Atlantic region of the United States will benefit both producers and millers. Producers can get differentially higher prices paid for HRW wheat compared with soft red winter (SRW) wheat, and millers can lower grain transportation costs using locally grown HRW wheat (Hall et al, 2011a). Vision 45 (Reg.…”

Registration of ‘LCS Wizard’ Wheat

“…In Virginia, 4‐yr average spike emergence (days to heading from 1 January) of LCS Wizard (123 d) is 3 d earlier than ‘Vision 45’ (PI 667642, Liu et al, 2015) (126 d) and 3 d later than ‘Vision 30’ (PI 661153; Hall et al, 2011a) (120 d). Average plant height of LCS Wizard (88 cm) is similar to Vision 30 (87 cm) and 14 cm shorter than Vision 45 (102 cm).…”

“…Hard wheat is mainly grown in the Great Plains and soft red winter (SRW) wheat in eastern states, thus requiring mills in eastern states to transport hard wheat from the Great Plains. Hard wheat production in eastern states will benefit mills by reducing these transportation expenses and provide economic benefit to growers via higher prices paid for hard wheat compared with soft wheat (Hall et al, 2011a;). Hard winter wheat lines developed at Virginia Tech are tested in the eastern and Great Plains regions in collaboration with Limagrain Cereal Seeds, LLC (LCS).…”
