Variety Description

Varieties used for comparison: 'Hobson' and 'Tokson'

Summary: The coleoptile of 'HY124-HRS' has absent or very weak intensity of anthocyanin colouration while it is medium to strong in 'Hobson'. 'HY124-HRS' has weak pubescence of the sheaths of the lower leaves at the 4 leaf stage while it is medium pubescence in the reference varieties. At the 4 leaf stage, 'HY124-HRS' has medium to dense pubescence on the blades of the lower leaves while it is weak to medium in 'Hobson'. 'HY124-HRS' has a shorter flag leaf than 'Hobson' and a wider one than 'Tokson'. The flag leaf auricles of 'HY124-HRS' have absent or very weak anthocyanin colouration while it is very strong in 'Hobson' and weak to medium in 'Tokson'. 'HY124-HRS' has a strong to very strong glaucosity of the neck of the culm while it is medium to strong for 'Hobson'. The spike of 'HY124-HRS' has very strong glaucosity while it is strong in 'Hobson'. At maturity, the shape of the neck of the culm in 'HY124-HRS' is moderately to strongly curved while it is straight for the reference varieties. 'HY124-HRS' has an erect spike attitude at maturity while it is inclined for the reference varieties. The hairiness of the convex surface of the apical rachis segment in 'HY124-HRS' is sparse while it is absent or very sparse in 'Hobson'. 'HY124-HRS' has very sparse to sparse pubescence of the lower glume while it is sparse to medium in 'Hobson'. The shape of the shoulder of the lower glume in 'HY124-HRS' is sloping to slightly sloping while it is straight in 'Hobson' and slightly sloping to straight in 'Tokson'. 'HY124-HRS' has a narrow shoulder of the lower glume while it is medium to broad in 'Hobson'.

Origin & Breeding History: 'HY124-HRS' (experimental designation SW124-029) is a spring wheat variety bred and developed by Hyland Seeds Inc. 'HY124-HRS' derives from the cross made in 1999 of Grandin / Celtic // Mamba at Ailsa Craig, Ontario. The doubled haploid method was used to breed this variety. In 2000, it was grown and evaluated in a 3-row nursery plot. The assessment, selection and advancement of the variety from 2000 to 2006 was based on its reaction to available leaf and stem diseases, straw strength, height, and seed and other agronomic and quality characteristics. 'HY124-HRS' was tested in both private and public trials from 2001 to 2006

Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted in 2009 and 2010 at St. Mary's, Ontario. Strip plots consisted of 5 rows with a row length of 22 meters and a row spacing 25 cm. Plots were seeded at a rate of 400 seeds per meter squared. There was only one replicate.
