Summary: Host plant resistance provided by solid stems has been the most effective means for mitigating wheat stem sawfly (WSS) damage in spring and winter wheat. A new solid stem allele, Qss.msub-3BL.c, was identified in the spring wheat cultivar Conan. It provides effective WSS resistance in spring wheat but has not been tested in winter wheat.

Summary: Over the past 80 years, while the yield of wheat has increased, the concentrations of protein, iron, and zinc in grains have decreased significantly, while the concentration of cadmium has increased. This suggests that modern wheats are becoming less nutritious and a better vehicle for dietary cadmium intake.

Summary: This study empirically examines the effects of conventional and end-use wheat quality characteristics as well as transportation costs on the pricing of U.S. hard red winter wheat (HRWW). The results show that both conventional and end-use characteristics have a significant impact on the price of HRWW, suggesting indirect payment through regional prices. The study also suggests the need for revisions to U.S. policy on standard grade factors to improve transparency and align farmer and miller/baker preferences.

Summary: This study investigated the phenotypic and genotypic structure of 14 end-use quality traits in wheat breeding lines and cultivars. The results showed a complex genetic architecture for end-use quality traits and the challenges of selecting genotypes for multiple traits. The study also identified several important loci for selecting favorable alleles in breeding for end-use quality.

Summary: Winter wheat yield in dryland areas can be optimized by improving genetics and adopting ideal production practices. Different combinations of seeding rate and row spacing can affect wheat development, yield, and its components. Narrower row spacings combined with higher seeding rates can result in higher yield and improved water use efficiency in drier years.

Summary: To control the negative impact of winter annual grass species on winter wheat yield, researchers generated winter wheat lines resistant to the herbicide quizalofop p-ethyl (QPE) through mutagenesis. Field trials demonstrated that QPE effectively controlled winter annual grass species with acceptable crop safety in QPE-resistant winter wheat cultivars.

Summary: To ensure food security for the growing global population, it is crucial to increase the yield of staple crops like wheat. This study identified and validated a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 6BL that controls spikelet number in wheat. Despite the presence of genetic interactions with other loci, genotypes with more superior alleles consistently showed higher spikelet numbers. This research lays the groundwork for the positional cloning of the genetic variant underlying the QTL, enhancing our understanding of spikelet number determination in wheat.

Summary: Global studies on the climate effects on crop yields provide valuable insights on world food supplies, but lack the resolution to identify local management effects. This study focused on winter wheat yields in eastern Colorado and found that precipitation from April to June was predictive of yields, but temperatures had a larger impact, with extreme maximum temperatures in June having the most detrimental effects.

Summary: Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is a mite-vectored virus that affects wheat production. The resistance source, Wsm1, is carried on a translocation from Thinopyrum intermedium. A shorter recombinant of the translocation, named rec213, was evaluated for its agronomic performance in 10 yield trials. The translocation had no effect on heading date, slightly reduced plant height, and had a positive effect on grain yield. Protein concentration and gluten quality were not affected by the translocation, but there was a slight reduction in protein quality scores. Improved marker assays were developed to facilitate the use of the rec213 Wsm1 trait in breeding programs.

Summary: Genetic dissection of complex traits in wheat using QTL analysis identified 30 QTL regions associated with yield, end-use quality traits, and agronomic traits. Some of these QTLs were consistent across different chromosomes and showed pleiotropic effects. Three novel QTLs were discovered, along with three major QTLs in colocalization with known genes. Epistasis was also detected. This study provides valuable information for wheat breeding programs through marker-assisted selection.
