Registration of ‘Vision 40’ Wheat

Abstract

United States with a high-yielding, high-value, specialty wheat cultivar. Vision 40 also purveys to millers and bakers in the eastern region a HRW wheat cultivar for the production of bread products. Producers can benefi t from the differentially higher price paid for HRW versus soft red winter (SRW) wheat, and millers can benefi t from lower grain transportation costs afforded by sourcing locally grown HRW wheat. Vision 40 was the fourth highest yielding HRW wheat entry averaged over 2 yr of the Uniform Bread Wheat Nursery grown at 11 test sites in 10 states in 2008 and 12 test sites in 9 states in 2009. Vision 40 has performed better than 'Vision 30' (PI 661153) in environments with greater winter stress. Methods Parentage, Breeding History, and Line SelectionThe HRW wheat cultivar Vision 40 was derived as an F 5 headrow from the cross 92PIN#109/92PAN1#33. The parentage of 92PIN#109 is Pioneer Brand '2163' (PI 601722)/ W9523A. The parentage of 92PAN1#33 is W2424/'Siouxland' (PI 483469)//Pioneer Brand 2163. Both 92PIN#109 and 92PAN1#33 were developed, evaluated, and advanced within Pioneer Hi-Bred's former HRW wheat breeding program. Pioneer closed their wheat breeding station at Hutchinson, KS in 1990 and donated their HRW wheat breeding lines and germplasm to Kansas State University (KSU). Lines 92PIN#109 and 92PAN1#33 were evaluated in advanced yield trials at KSU in 1992 and subsequently wereABSTRACT The potential exists to develop and market hard winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the eastern United States, where a majority of the mills, bakeries, and consumers reside. The primary objective of this study was to develop adapted and competitive hard winter wheat cultivars possessing high-value traits that offer the potential for new and expanded markets and greater profi tability to wheat producers in the eastern United States. 'Vision 40' (Reg. No. CV-1063, PI 661154) hard red winter (HRW) wheat was derived from the cross 92PIN#109/92PAN1#33 and released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station in March 2010. Vision 40 was developed with a modifi ed bulk-breeding method and was tested as VA06HRW-66 in replicated yield trials in Virginia

Registration of ‘LCS Compass’ Wheat

“…LCS Compass was evaluated with 45 other entries over 18 diverse environments in the 2013 USDA–ARS UBWT (Table 2). The average grain yield of LCS Compass (4609 kg ha −1 ) over locations was similar to those of HRW wheat cultivars Vision 30 (4697 kg ha −1 ) and ‘Vision 40’ (4643 kg; ha −1 ; PI 661154; Hall et al, 2011b) and the overall trial mean (4510 kg ha −1 ). Average grain volume weight of LCS Compass (73.5 kg hL −1 ) was similar to HRW wheat check NuEast (73.2 kg hL −1 ) but significantly ( P < 0.05) higher than the other soft and hard wheat checks.…”

Registration of ‘LCS Wizard’ Wheat

“…Average plant height of LCS Wizard (88 cm) is similar to Vision 30 (87 cm) and 14 cm shorter than Vision 45 (102 cm). Straw strength (0 = erect to 9 = completely lodged) of LCS Wizard (1.0) is very good, being most similar to that (1.2) of ‘Vision 40’ (PI 661154; Hall et al, 2011b) and better than that (2.4) of Vision 30 (Table 1).…”

Registration of ‘Vision 45’ Wheat

“…In Virginia, spike emergence (days from 1 January) of Vision 45 (126 d) is 1 d later than ‘Soissons’ (PI 573744) and 3 d later than ‘Vision 40’ (PI 661154, Hall et al, 2011b) (Table 1). Average plant height of Vision 45 (102 cm) is 10 cm taller than Vision 40 and 15 cm taller than Vision 30.…”
