Plain language summary
Jake hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed using a modified bulk breeding method at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. Jake is an awned, hollow-stemmed line with high yield potential, medium tall plants, and medium maturity. During the three years (2015-17) of evaluation in the Parkland Wheat Cooperative test, Jake yielded 6% higher than the mean of all checks, and matured 0.7 and 1.7 days later than Parata and Splendor but 2.9 days earlier than Glenn. Jake was 91.2 cm tall, shorter than AC Splendor (95.8cm) but similar in height to Glenn (91.8cm) and Parata (92cm). The lodging score of Jake (2.2) was lower than Parata (3.1) and AC Splendor (3.1) but similar to Glenn. The test weight of Jake (80.8) was higher than AC Splendor (78.3), similar to Parata (80.5), but lower than Glenn (82.5). Grain weight of Jake (35.6g) was similar to Parata (35.6g) but lower than Glenn (36.7g) and AC Splendor (37.4g), while NIR Protein of Jake (15.9%) was higher than Glenn (15.5%) and similar to other checks. Jake was moderately resistant to resistant to leaf, stem and stripe rusts, and moderately resistant to common bunt during the three years of testing. The reaction of Jake to Fusarium head blight was variable and ranged from moderately susceptible to moderately resistant, with DON values similar to Carberry and Glenn. Three years of end-use quality evaluation has indicated that Jake is acceptable for the CWRS class.
