Molecular markers for Lr9, Lr37/Yr17, H13, FHB5AS, 1A.1R, and high molecular weight glutenins were used to select these lines.
  7. UI Platinum (IDO694C, PVP= 201400419, 08/06/2014) is a hard white spring wheat cultivar released for irrigated production by Jianli Chen from the University of Idaho wheat breeding program. This cultivar has industry preferred end-use quality for whole grain products. This line was selected using markers for GluD1 and GluA3 and GluB3 strong gluten alleles and for a QTL associated with baking volume.
  8. NE05548 (PVP = 201400410, 08/04/2014) is a hard red winter variety released by the University of Nebraska wheat breeding program. ‘NE05548’ was released for its very tall plant height for a semi-dwarf cultivar and its adaptation to western Nebraska where conventional tall wheat cultivars are needed due to drought, but do not have the grain yield of modern semi-dwarf cultivars. NE05548 has the yield and shorter coleoptile length of a semi-dwarf wheat, but the height of a conventional tall wheat. It will be marketed as Husker Genetics Brand ‘Panhandle’. Molecular markers were used to characterize the line (especially the dwarfing genes) and the genes that it contains confirming our phenotypic data.
  9. ‘Doublestop CL Plus’ (PVP= 201400228, 03/05/2014) is two-gene Clearfield HRW variety released the OAES. Owing to its partial resistance to leaf rust and tolerance to barley yellow dwarf, gene Lr34 was shown to be present in some plants of Doublestop CL Plus, as confirmed by a resistant haplotype for three polymorphic marker sites.
