'Barlow': A High-Quality and High-Yielding Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultivar Adapted to the North Central Plains of the USA

摘要

'Barlow' (Reg. No. CV-1055, PI 658018) hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed at North Dakota State University and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (NDAES). Barlow was released in 2009 primarily for its good adaptation to the spring-wheat-growing regions in the U.S. North Central Plains. However, Barlow also shows superior adaptation, particularly to the rainfed western wheat-production regions of North Dakota and counties in adjacent states. It has high yield potential and excellent milling and baking properties. Barlow is resistant to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks.), stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Per.:Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn), tan spot [caused by [Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died.) Drechs] race 3, Septoria tritici blotch (caused by Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckl) J. Schrot. in Cohn), and Stagonospora nodorum blotch [caused by Stagonospora nodorum (Berk.) Castellani & E.G. Germano]. It also has an intermediate level of resistance to Fusarium head blight, or scab [caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe (telomorph Gibberella zeae (Schwein.) Petch)]. Barlow is derived from the ND 744/ND 721 cross made at NDSU in fall 1999. ND 744 (PI634936), a 'Glenn' (PI 639273) sister line, is a public HRSW breeding line developed at NDSU and released by NDAES as a germplasm in 2005. ND 721 is a public breeding line derived from the cross 'Grandin'/3/IAS20(star)4/H567.71//'Amidon'/4/ND 674. Barlow was produced from a bulk of 180 purified F-11 headrow increase plots grown at Prosper, ND in 2007. Barlow was released because it combines high yield, excellent end-use quality, and resistance to many diseases.
