Abstract
AAC Cameron (BW485) is a hollow-stemmed high yielding spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with good agronomic, disease, and end-use quality characteristics. AAC Cameron is best adapted to the eastern region of the Canadian prairies as represented in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative (CBWC) Registration Tests in 2011, 2012, and 2013. AAC Cameron was significantly higher yielding than the best check Unity (5%), and 12% higher than 5603HR. AAC Cameron had moderate resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks.), stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici), and Fusarium head blight (FHB) (Fusarium graminearum), with lower FHB index and deoxynivalenol (DON) content compared to the check cultivars. AAC Cameron expressed resistance to orange wheat blossom midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana Gehin) and common bunt (Tilletia tritici). AAC Cameron showed good lodging resistance (mean = 2.1) despite its tall (mean = 98 cm) plant ideotype. It had significantly higher kernel weight than all check cultivars, whereas m...
Highlights
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major component of the staple diet for the majority of the world population
AAC LeRoy was rated resistant to loose smut, intermediate resistant to common bunt and moderately susceptible to leaf spot disease complex based on three years data (Table 6)
Note: Table comparing bunt, loose smut, leaf spots and midge resistance of AAC LeRoy against the check varieties aBunt data represented as severity and ratings
