Registration of ‘Vision 45’ Wheat

Abstract

‘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).

Registration of ‘Vision 50’ Wheat

“…Vision 50 is resistant (0.9-1.0) to leaf rust and moderately resistant (0.1-2.7) to powdery mildew. Vision 50 is moderately resistant (1.6-3.0) to stripe rust on the basis of average infection type (Line and Qayoum, 1992) ratings (0-9) in ield trials and a disease nursery (Tables 1-3 Blacksburg (2014Blacksburg ( , 2016Blacksburg ( , 2017 and Warsaw (2014Warsaw ( -2016; powdery mildew data from Blacksburg (2014), Warsaw (2015), and Painter (2014, 2015; Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) data from Blacksburg (2015), Warsaw (2016, 2017), and Painter (2014; stripe rust data from Blacksburg (2014) and Warsaw (2016); Fusarium head blight (FHB) data from Scab Nursery in Blacksburg (2014-2016) and Mt. Holly (2017).…”

“…H ard wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) producers in the US mid‐Atlantic region benefit from the differentially higher prices paid for hard red winter (HRW) wheat compared with soft red winter (SRW) wheat, and millers reap the benefits of lower grain transportation costs sourcing locally grown HRW wheat (Hall et al, 2011). Following release of ‘Vision 30’ (PI 661153, Hall et al, 2011) in 2010 and ‘Vision 45’ (PI 667642, Liu et al, 2015) in 2012, HRW wheat production in the mid‐Atlantic region of the United States has increased steadily. For the 2017–2018 planting season, hard wheat planted in Virginia were 2000 to 2400 ha (Clougherty, 2018).…”

Registration of ‘LCS Compass’ Wheat

“…In Virginia, the 3‐yr average (Table 1) for spike emergence (days to heading from 1 January) of LCS Compass (127 d) is 2 d earlier than ‘Vision 45’ (PI 667642, Liu et al, 2015) and 3 d later than Vision 30 (PI 661153; Hall et al, 2011a). Average plant height of LCS Compass (90 cm) is similar to Vision 45 (94 cm) and 8 cm taller than Vision 30 (82 cm).…”

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).…”
