Variety Description
Varieties used for comparison: 'Memphré', 'AAC Synox' and 'Dagon'
Summary: At booting, the flag leag of 'Minot' is longer and wider than the flag leaf of 'Dagon'. The flag leaf sheath for 'Minot' has a medium to very strong degree of glaucosity whereas it is medium for 'Memphré' and weak to medium for 'Dagon' The plants of 'Minot' head earlier than those of 'AAC Synox' and 'Dagon'. At maturity, the plants of 'Minot' are taller than those of 'AAC Synox' and 'Dagon'. The spike of 'Minot' is shorter than those of 'Memphré' and 'AAC Synox'. The kernel colour is light red for 'Minot' whereas it is dark red for 'AAC Synox'. The thousand kernel weight is greater for 'Minot' than the reference varieties. The length of the kernel brush hairs is medium to long for 'Minot' while they are short for 'AAC Synox'.
Description:
PLANT: common hard red spring wheat, erect to semi-erect growth habit at the 5 to 9 tiller stage, heads mid-season, matures mid-season
SEEDLING (4-leaf stage): absent or very weak to weak intensity of anthocyanin colouration of the coleoptile, glabrous sheath and blade of lower leaves
FLAG LEAF: absent or very weak intensity of anthocyanin colouration of auricles, strong glaucosity of sheath
CULM: straight neck
STRAW (AT MATURITY): very thin to thin pith in cross section
SPIKE: weak to medium glaucosity at heading, tapering to fusiform in profile, lax to medium density, white at maturity, sparse to dense hairiness of convex surface of apical rachis segment
AWNS: equal in length to spike, white at maturity
LOWER GLUME: narrow to medium width, glabrous to very weakly pubescent, sparse extent of internal hair
LOWER GLUME SHOULDER: narrow to medium width, slightly sloping to straight
LOWER GLUME BEAK: medium to long, slightly curved
KERNEL: light red, oval to broad elliptical, medium to long brush hairs, shallow to medium crease
Origin & Breeding History: 'Minot' (experimental designations BS10-422 and C1M16149) originated from the cross FE47 / 'AC Walton' //'AC Walton' conducted at Céréla Research Station Inc. in St. Hugues, Quebec, Canada in 2002. The F1 to F5 generations were mass cultivated in Ste. Rosalie Quebec from 2003 to 2007 where seed selections were made at each generation based on grain density. Spikes were selected from the F5 plants in 2009 and planted in single rows. F6 individual rows were selected on the basis of disease tolerance and performance. The line designated as BS10-422 was initially evaluated in screening trials in 2014 based on yield, lodging and disease resistance and further evaluated in the registration trials conducted by the Reseau Grandes Cultures du Québec in 2015 and 2016.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trials for 'Minot' were conducted at Céréla Inc. in St-Hugues, Quebec, during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. Plots consisted of 5 rows, each row 5 metres long with an inter-row spacing of 0.19 metres. The seeding density was approximately 425 seeds per squared metre. There were 2 replications per variety arranged in an RCB design. Measured plant characteristics were based on a minimum of 20 measurements per variety per year. Mean differences are significant at the 5% probability level based on a paired Student's t-test.
