Abstract:: Breadmaking quality is an important criterion in breeding and development of hard wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars. Improvements in N management are needed to produce superior quality grain and satisfy market demands for protein content. Field experiments with three hard red and two hard white spring wheat cultivars were conducted...

Creator:: Lopez, Cesar
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest (PNW) is an important region for winter wheat production in the USA, where water deficits are often present at sowing and during grain filling. Consequently, improving the genetic adaptation of wheat cultivars to drought stress represents one of the main objectives in breeding programs. An observed biochemical...

Creator:: Edwards, Melanie Love
Abstract:: Wheat breeders must effectively maintain and manage existing genetic diversity in order to continue the development of superior genotypes. It is therefore fundamental that the genetic relationships and diversity within the germplasm pools be thoroughly characterized and understood. Recently, DNA-based markers have provided powerful tools for genetic diversity analysis. This...

Creator:: Castro Derényi, Marina
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants exposed to higher than usual temperatures during ripening show altered agronomic and grain quality characteristics. Given that seasonal variation in quality creates difficulties in the marketing and processing of grain, improving the genetic adaptation of wheat cultivars to heat stress is an important objective in...

Creator:: Saint Pierre, Carolina
Abstract:: Hard white winter (HVVW) wheat cultivars must have superior protein quality and consistent processing quality to be successful in the Asian market. New cultivars and management strategies are needed to produce HVVW grain for both bread and noodle applications from diverse environments in the US Pacific Northwest (PNW). This study...

Creator:: Vazquez, Maria Dolores
Abstract:: Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) has been receiving increased attention in the USA since the appearance of more virulent races detected in the past decade. These races caused yield losses even in areas where the disease previously was rarely detected. Host plant resistance is the most cost effective...

Creator:: Gehlhar, Sarah Bronwen
Abstract:: Improving quality of hard white wheat (HW) cultivars in the Pacific Northwest is important to expand exports to Asia. Asian food processors prefer HW grain that can satisfy an array of baking needs, as well as produce superior quality noodle products. Three experimental populations were developed from single cross and...
