Variety Description
Varieties used for comparison: 'Quantum', 'Winfield', 'Superb' and 'Wendel'
Summary: 'CM Isidore' has a more erect growth habit than 'Winfield', 'Superb' and 'Wendel'. 'CM Isidore' matures earlier than 'Winfield', 'Superb' and 'Wendel' and later than 'Quantum'. 'CM Isidore' has a more narrow flag leaf and a shorter spike than the reference varieties. 'CM Isidore' has weaker glaucosity on the lower side of the flag leaf than 'Quantum', 'Superb' and 'Wendel'. The flag leaf auricles of 'CM Isidore' have weaker pubescence than those of 'Quantum' and weaker anthocyanin colouration than those of 'Superb'. Glaucosity of the flag leaf sheath and neck is moderate and weak to moderate, respectively, for 'CM Isidore' while it is strong to very strong for 'Quantum'. At maturity, the attitude of the spikes of 'CM Isidore' is nodding while it is erect or incline for the reference varieties. 'CM Isidore' has weak anthocyanin colouration of the straw while it is absent for the reference varieties.

Origin & Breeding History: The wheat variety 'CM Isidore' (experimental designation B89-6-28-883) originated from the cross Roblin/Bluesky///Max/Coteau//Bluesky made by Dr. Jean-Pierre Dubuc of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada of St-Foy, Quebec in 1989. The breeding technique used was Modified Bulk. From 1997 to 1999, tests were conducted on selected lines in a number of locations including Ridgetown, Centralia, Kemptville and Ottawa in Ontario. Final selection of 'CM Isidore' was made in the F7 and F8 generations based on Fusarium resistance, Barley Yellow Dwarf resistance, kernel cross-section type, seed size, grain density, plant appearance, number of heads produced per unit area, cleanliness of leaves, percent protein, percent moisture, alpha amylase activity and loaf characteristics. In 2000, 'CM Isidore' was tested in 8 locations across Ontario for Fusarium Head Blight susceptibility and baking quality.
Tests & Trials: The tests and trials for 'CM Isidore' were conducted during the summers of 2005 and 2006 in Ridgetown, Ontario. Plots consisted of 6 rows, 4 metres in length at 15 cm row spacing with 40 cm between plots. There were 4 replicates arranged in a Random Complete Block Design.
