Abstract
‘Juniper’ (Reg. No. CV‐1021, PI 639951) is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) developed by the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station and released in February 2006. Juniper was tested under the experimental numbers A91013W‐1 and IDO575. It is a full‐stature wheat released for very low rainfall, crop‐fallow rotations of the Intermountain West and was released for its improved resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend) and dwarf bunt (Tilletia controversa Kühn in Rabenh) and bread‐baking quality compared with current full‐stature cultivars. Juniper had an average yield in rainfed trials of 3290 kg ha−1, compared with the other tall cultivars for this region, ‘Weston’ and ‘Bonneville’, which had grain yields of 3050 and 3180 kg ha−1, respectively. Weston has undesirable baking quality due to short dough mixing time. Juniper has nearly a full minute longer mixograph mixing time compared with Weston (p < 0.01). Juniper also has similar snow mold tolerance (causal organism Typhula spp.) to Bonneville without the undesirable characteristic of late heading date and maturity. Juniper heads 3 d earlier than Bonneville.
