Abstract
‘Essekerka’ (Reg. no. CV-1211, PI 704099), hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the Agricultural Institute Osijek (Croatia) and released in 2023. Essekerka was derived from the cross ‘Irishka’ × ‘Apache’. It was tested under experimental number Osk.4.354/12-18 and showed high grain yield with enhanced dough quality in trials (2019–2022) based on farinograph analysis. Essekerka has grain yield comparable to two high-yielding hard red winter wheat check cultivars (Apache and ‘Kraljica’). Essekerka has higher grain yield than hard red winter wheat cultivar ‘Viktorija’ which is declared as check for quality. Overall, better Fusarium head blight resistance was observed in Essekerka than in ‘Vikotrija’. Compared with one of the parent Apache, in various trials Essekerka matured 2–3 days earlier and was 2- to 3-cm shorter.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Plant Registrations is an official publication of the Crop Science Society of America and the premier international venue for plant breeders, geneticists, and genome biologists to publish research describing new and novel plant cultivars, germplasms, parental lines, genetic stocks, and genomic mapping populations. In addition to biomedical, nutritional, and agricultural scientists, the intended audience includes policy makers, humanitarian organizations, and all facets of food, feed, fiber, bioenergy, and shelter industries. The scope of articles includes (1) cultivar, germplasm, parental line, genetic stock, and mapping population registration manuscripts, (2) short manuscripts characterizing accessions held within Plant Germplasm Collection Systems, and (3) descriptions of plant genetic materials that have made a major impact on agricultural security. Registration of plant genetic resources, item (1) above, requires deposit of plant genetic material into the USDA ARS National Plant Germplasm System prior to publication.
