Registration of Near‐Isogenic Hard‐Textured Wheat Lines Differing for Presence of a High Grain Protein Gene

Abstract

Montana State University and Westbred LLC. announce the release of eight sets of near‐isogenic hard wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) lines: 06IFAFS2 (Reg. No. GP‐840, PI 651502), 06IFAFS3 (Reg. No. GP‐841, PI 651503), 06IFAFS16 (Reg. No. GP‐842, PI 651504), 06IFAFS17 (Reg. No. GP‐843, PI 651505), 06IFAFS26 (Reg. No. GP‐844, PI 651506), 06IFAFS27 (Reg. No. GP‐845, PI 651507), 06IFAFS36 (Reg. No. GP‐846, PI 651508), 06IFAFS37 (Reg. No. GP‐847, PI 651509), 06IFAFS44 (Reg. No. GP‐848, PI 651510), 06IFAFS45 (Reg. No. GP‐849, PI 651511), 06IFAFS48 (Reg. No. GP‐850, PI 651512), 06IFAFS49 (Reg. No. GP‐851, PI 651513), 06IFAFS223 (Reg. No. GP‐852, PI 651514), 06IFAFS227 (Reg. No. GP‐853, PI 651515), 06IFAFS225 (Reg. No. GP‐854, PI 651516), 06IFAFS233 (Reg. No. GP‐855, PI 651517) differing for the presence of the high grain protein gene Gpc‐B1 . These lines may serve as a germplasm source for hard red and hard white spring wheat breeding programs and provide materials to investigate the effects of Gpc‐B1 in high protein wheat backgrounds.
