Agripro reported that they are in the process of producing a soft white wheat with the Clearfield technology. They will be moving into the PNW next year, but will be several years before full presence felt in the PNW.
General Mills reported that they continue to develop there identity preserved marketing system and that their launch of Clearfield wheat in conjunction with NW plant breeders is up in the air.
John Flemm of FGIS provided an update on the status of Hard White wheat. FGIS has no plans of adopting the Single Kernel technology and continues to determine hard vs. soft based on appearance. In addition, due to difficulties in the Midwest in grading hard white color, color restrictions were loosened last year to create an amber hard class. These changes may or may not remain next year. John also reported that FGIS is having difficulty separating hard white wheat from soft white wheat in the PNW. FGIS will not start utilizing the single kernel analyzer until industry tells them to. John also reported that Sodium Hydroxide cannot be used to differentiate hard red out of hard white, but can be used to separate hard white from hard red.

New Cultivars, Elite Lines
‘Ankor‘ hard red winter wheat was released in August 2002. Ankor was released because of its resistance to the Russian wheat aphid (RWA) and adaptation for dryland production in eastern Colorado and the west-central Great Plains. Ankor was selected from the crosses and backcrosses Akron/Halt//4*Akron. Field and laboratory testing has shown that Ankor has similar dryland yield, better straw strength and higher irrigated yield, higher kernel weight, more uniform kernel size distribution, and better baking quality compared to Akron.
Quality Testing Scheme
Quality improvement efforts currently emphasize evaluation of at all stages of the breeding pipeline. Evaluations of breeding lines and populations are done in the CSU Wheat Quality Lab (in August and during winter), at the USDA-ARS Hard Winter Wheat Quality Lab (Manhattan, KS), and by various private industry collaborators.

In the past year we released the soft white spring wheat Alturas (IDO526). Alturas is a medium-early soft white spring wheat with good yield stability across the Pacific Northwest. Alturas has been evaluated by Kraft/Nabisco at their Fair Lawn, NJ factory, by US Wheats Associates in the Asian Products Collaborative, and by the Pacific Northwest Wheat Quality Council. Alturas has excellent cookie quality. Moreover, as a low polyphenol oxidase activity wheat with high starch pasting viscosity, Alturas can be used in blends with hard white wheat to improve color in most Asian noodles and improve texture of Japanese udon noodles.
Moreland (IDO517) hard red winter wheat was released in the past year, following positive reviews by WRC-81 and Pacific Northwest Wheat Quality Council. It is an irrigated hard red winter wheat with approximately 1 to 1.5 % points higher grain protein than Boundary hard red winter wheat. Bread loaf volume, loaf volume per unit of protein, and dough mixing times for Moreland are significantly greater than for Boundary and Garland. Grain yields for Moreland are superior to Garland, yet most years are less than Boundary.

2002 Spring Wheat Program
The objective of the spring wheat program is to produce high-yielding
varieties with excellent bread-making quality. High protein, strong
gluten, high bake water absorption, and high loaf volume are primary
selection criteria. Outlook is a new varietal release. Outlook has shown
excellent yield potential and moderately high protein across most Montana
locations. Outlook is also resistant to the Russian wheat aphid.
2002 Winter Wheat Program
The winter wheat program emphasizes on-farm productivity characteristics and quality characteristics to compete in a global market place. Specific objectives include productivity, adaptation (cold tolerance, maturity, stress tolerance), pest resistance (wheat stem sawfly, Russian wheat aphid, wheat streak mosaic virus, stem rust), and dual-purpose end-use quality. End-use quality goals are high grain protein and gluten strength, high flour extraction and low ash content, good dough mixing and bread baking quality, and superior noodle color and textural characteristics.
Cultivar releases.
Paul (MT9426, MT8030/Neeley) a high-yielding, medium to late maturity hard red winter wheat line with excellent cold tolerance was released in 2002. Paul has excellent on-farm production characteristics and excellent baking characteristics. Paul is targeted toward acreage currently planted to Neeley HRW wheat.
Small Grain Quality
We have made more progress recently in the area of small grain quality related to grain texture. The puroindolines control much of the variation in grain texture between common wheat varieties. Hard wheats contain a sequence alteration in either puroindoline A or B. We have found that the addition of soft type puroindoline B to a hard wheat can complement the most common puroindoline B mutation and create a soft wheat. We have recently expanded this experiment to add both puroindoline genes to hard wheats and we now have a large number of transgenic lines varying only in puroindoline content.
Oregon State University
OR9900553 is a soft white winter wheat from the cross Arminda/3/VPM/MOS951// 2*Hill/5/ID#870337. The last parent, ID#870337, is a selection from complex spring x winter parentage. OR9900553 was evaluated last year by the WQC and noted as performing very well in spite of high grain protein of the 2001 sample. It is entered for a second year to evaluate its milling and baking potential at a more appropriate grain protein level. In our quality evaluations to date, OR9900553 has had very soft grain texture, superior break flour yields, and superior cookie quality.
OR2010051 is a semidwarf soft white winter wheat that has just been released by the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station under the name ORCF-101. ORCF-101 possesses the ClearfieldTM herbicide resistance technology owned by BASF corporation. ORCF-101 is derived from the three-way cross CV-9804/Malcolm//OR939481. CV-9804, also known as FS-4, is the donor of the Clearfield trait, developed through mutagenesis of the cultivar Fidel. OR939481 is a selection from the cross Stephens/Madsen. Comparisons of milling quality, flour yield, protein content, and baking evaluations by the ARS-WWQL suggests that ORCF-101 has quality attributes very similar to Stephens, Madsen and Tubbs.

Deloris hard red winter wheat was released by the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. Deloris was tested at the 2001 PNW wheat quality council in conjunction with WCC-81. The designation of Deloris when tested was UT203032. Continued selection in early generations based on mixograph data from 2 gm samples of bulk populations. Approximately 20% of F2 bulk populations were discarded based on poor average mixograph. Approximately 75 samples were sent to the Western Wheat Quality Lab for quality analysis. These samples reflected breeding lines and cultivar tests.

Chukar winter club wheat was released by the USDA-ARS and Washington State University in Sept. 2001. The release of Chukar has also been approved by Oregon State University. It was evaluated by the PNW Quality Council in the 2002 report. Chukar performed well as a club wheat for the council. The end use quality of Chukar was evaluated at the USDA-ARS Western Wheat Quality Laboratory in Pullman Wa for 35 location years spanning the 1997-2000 harvest years. The end use quality of Chukar is excellent as compared with other club wheat varieties. Grain protein of Chukar was 7.2%, 0.6% lower than Coda. The milling score of Chukar was 88.4, similar to Coda and better than Rely. Flour yield of Chukar was 71%, similar to Coda and Rely but break flour yield of Chukar was 53%, 1% higher than those cultivars. Cookie diameter was 9.6cm, 0.2cm greater than Coda and Rely. Sponge cake volume of Chukar was 1304cc, similar to Rely and 50cc more than Coda.
Finch soft white winter wheat was released by the USDA-ARS and Washington State University in Feb. 2001. The end use quality of Finch was compared with soft white winter wheat varieties Eltan, Madsen and Stephens. The grain test weight of Finch is greater than Eltan, Madsen and Stephens (812, 802, 802, and 791 kg/m3 for Finch, Eltan, Madsen, and Stephens, respectively). Grain protein is less than Madsen and Stephens and equal to other checks. The milling performance of Finch is similar to Eltan, Madsen and Stephens (milling score of 85.6, 85.6, 85.2, and 85.0 for Finch, Eltan, Madsen and Stephens respectively. Finch has statistically superior test weight, flour yield, and break flour yield but the flour ash of Finch is higher than that of Eltan, Madsen, and Stephens. Starch is a non-waxy, low amylopectin type. The mixograph water absorption is lower than Eltan and Madsen, equal to Stephens (53, 54, 54, and 53 % for Finch, Eltan, Madsen and Stephens respectively). The cookie spread is wider than Madsen and Stephens and similar to Eltan (9.4, 9.4, 9.1, and 9.2 cm for Finch, Eltan, Madsen and Stephens respectively). The flour swelling volume of Finch is lower than that of Eltan, and Stephens and equal to Madsen. The flour RVA is significantly lower than that of Eltan, Madsen, and Stephens.

A new soft winter variety (WA7916) to replace the variety Rod is being presented for pre-release in 2003. In addition, new Eltan type hard red and hard white winter varieties are showing excellent potential and may be ready for release in 2 years. These lines consistently outperform Eltan in field trials and preliminary testing indicates that they have acceptable bread-baking quality and great potential for noodle processing.
Wheat Quality Evaluation
Personnel: Brady Carter, Tracy Harris
Over 3000 breeder lines were evaluated for the 2001 crop year between the spring and winter breeding programs. Quality testing for spring samples was completed ahead of schedule by the second week of January (normal deadline is 1st of February) and testing for winter samples was completed by the 1st of June. Quality data for breeder nurseries were summarized in excel files with means and confidence intervals to aid in making selections. The quality data also was merged with yield data and combined across environments. Suggestions on selections based on end-use quality were provided with the data and in subsequent meetings. In addition, two new tests with great potential, solvent retention capacity (SRC) and thermogravimetric ash analysis, have been inserted into the standard set of quality tests for analyzing breeder lines. Feedback from the breeding programs indicates the system is working very well.
