Registration of ‘ND Dawn’ large yellow pea

Abstract

‘ND Dawn’ (Reg. no. CV‐30, PI 694866), a semi‐dwarf, semi‐leafless, large‐seeded yellow field pea (Pisum sativum L.) cultivar, was developed by the pulse crops breeding program at North Dakota State University and approved for release by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. ND Dawn, the first yellow field pea cultivar from the program, was developed by the bulk‐pedigree method. Based on 18 environments (location‐years) of yield trials across North Dakota, ND Dawn had similar seed yield (2,843 kg ha−1) with the commercial yellow pea cultivars ‘AC Agassiz’ (2,875 kg ha−1) and ‘DS Admiral’ (2,799 kg ha−1) but significantly greater than ‘CDC Golden’ (2,633 kg ha−1). ND Dawn was also tested across eight environments in Montana, where it had an average seed yield of 3,803 kg ha−1, which was significantly greater than ‘Delta’ (3,554 kg ha−1) but similar to DS Admiral (3,686 kg ha−1) or AC Agassiz (3,565 kg ha−1). ND Dawn matures in approximately 94 d. It is resistant to lodging, with a plant height index of 0.66. It has uniform round seed, with size larger than Agassiz, a medium‐seeded yellow pea cultivar. ND Dawn's protein content, 24%, is acceptable to get a premium price in the current market for high‐protein pea. ND Dawn and AC Agassiz exhibited similar responses to Fusarium root rot based on a field trial inoculated with multiple Fusarium species pathogenic to pea. In an irrigated field trial conducted under high Ascochyta blight pressure, ND Dawn yielded similarly to AC Agassiz and ‘CDC Striker’ despite having a higher leaf necrosis percentage. Other agronomic traits of ND Dawn are within market acceptable ranges.

Registration of ‘ND Victory’ green field pea

“…In North Dakota, ND Victory was tested in 30 environments between 2016 and 2020. The target population of environments (TPE) in North Dakota is generally characterized as a continental type environment (Bandillo et al., 2020), with relatively dry TPE in western North Dakota (Minot, Hettinger, Williston, and Dickinson) to relatively wet TPE in eastern North Dakota (Fargo, Carrington, and Langdon) (Table 1). As expected, the average total precipitation during the growing season (Apr.–Aug.)…”

“…To date, there is no accepted threshold for PSbMV infection for certified seed production. Future research may be needed to verify a certain level of infection will be sustainable long‐term (Bandillo et al., 2020). The NDSU Pulse Breeding Program has identified germplasm with promising genetic resistance against PSbMV (Scegura, 2017).…”

“…To date, the majority of field pea cultivars grown in the northern Great Plains have been developed by private breeding programs outside the region. In 2020, two new pulse cultivars were approved for official release: ‘ND Dawn’ yellow pea (PI 694866; Bandillo et al., 2020) and ‘ND Crown’ chickpea (PI 694865; Bandillo et al., 2021). To date, there has been no cultivar released targeting the green cotyledon field pea market segment, which is about 35% of the field pea market in the northern Great Plains.…”

A greenhouse‐based high‐throughput phenotyping platform for identification and genetic dissection of resistance to Aphanomyces root rot in field pea

“…Regular consumption of pea can help fight type 2 diabetes and obesity (Dahl et al., 2012). With the growing popularity of plant‐based products such as the Beyond Burger (https://www.beyondmeat.com) and Ripple's nondairy ice cream and milk options (https://www.ripplefoods.com/ripptein/) (Bandillo et al., 2021; Foschia et al., 2017), which all utilize pea protein as a major constituent, the need for the development of competitive high‐protein pea cultivars also increases. In addition to all the benefits promoted by pea consumption, its addition into cropping system can enhance soil health attributes, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve soil biota diversity, leading to more sustainable agricultural practices (Magrini et al., 2018).…”
