Registration of ‘KS Dallas’ hard red winter wheat

Abstract

‘KS Dallas’ (Reg. no. CV‐1173, PI 693934) hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the wheat breeding program at the Agricultural Research Center–Hays, Kansas State University, and released by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station in 2019. KS Dallas was selected from a three‐way cross KS08HW112‐6//TX03A0148/Danby TR made in 2009 at Hays, KS. The objective of this cross was to develop a hard winter wheat cultivar with adaptation to dryland production in western Kansas. KS Dallas was developed using a modified bulk breeding method. KS Dallas is an F6‐derived line and was tested in yield trials across Kansas for 4 yr. KS Dallas has medium maturity, medium height, and a medium‐long coleoptile. It has high grain yield potential in western Kansas and good resistance to the prevalent diseases including Wheat streak mosaic virus and leaf rust. It also has good bread‐making quality.

Registration of ‘KS Big Bow’ hard white winter wheat

“…KS Big Bow had a mean grain yield of 5888 kg ha −1 , which was greater (P < 0.05) than that of any check cultivar in the tests, including Joe (5480 kg ha −1 , Table 1). KS Big Bow had a good grain volume weight (804 kg m −3 ), which was similar to those of Joe (805 kg m −3 ), 'KS Dallas' (PI 693934, Zhang, Martin et al, 2021) (803 kg m −3 ), and KS Western Star (808 kg m −3 ) and greater (P < 0.05) than those of all other check cultivars.…”

Registration of ‘KS Hamilton’ hard red winter wheat

“…Wsm2 has been widely used in breeding programs because it originates in wheat. The gene has been incorporated into several cultivars, including 'RonL' (PI 648020), 'Snowmass' (PI 658597) (Haley et al, 2011), 'Clara CL' (PI 665948) (Martin et al, 2014), 'Oakley CL' (PI 670170) (Zhang et al, 2015), 'Joe' (PI 676270) (Zhang et al, 2016), and 'KS Dallas' (PI 693934) (Zhang et al, 2021c). 'KS Hamilton' (Reg.…”
