Abstract

Graf, R. J., Beres, B. L., Randhawa, H. S., Gaudet, D. A., Badea, A., Laroche, A., Eudes, F. and Pandeya, R. S. 2013. AAC Gateway hard red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 93: 541–548. AACGateway is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar eligible for grades of Canada Western Red Winter (CWRW) wheat. Evaluated relative toCDCOsprey,ACBellatrix, Radiant, and CDC Buteo in the Western Winter Wheat Cooperative Registration trials from 2009 to 2011, AAC Gateway exhibited high grain yield, good winter survival, short straw of excellent strength, high grain protein concentration, and resistant to intermediate responses to stem rust, leaf rust, stripe rust and fusarium head blight. This combination of desirable traits makes AAC Gateway well-suited for production across western Canada. End-use suitability analysis indicated improvements in protein concentration, amylograph viscosity, dough rheology, loaf volume, and lower protein loss on milling.
