Abstract

Historically, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars developed by the cooperative University of Nebraska-USDA-ARS wheat improvement project were hard red winter wheat. With the expanding hard white wheat market, there is a greater emphasis on developing hard white winter wheat lines adapted to the Great Plains. 'NW13493' (tested as NW13493) (Reg. no. CV-1197, PI 699380) was selected for its white kernels, agronomic performance, relevant disease resistances, and enduse quality and is adapted to the central Great Plains. NW13493 was licensed to Bay State Milling Company on the basis of its superior agronomic and enduse quality performance and also the need to ensure hard white wheat growers
