Carman is a new cultivar of spring triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) which was developed from a cooperative program involving the Department of Plant Science, University of Manitoba and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in Mexico. It is higher yielding than either Rosner or Welsh, cultivars previously licensed in Canada.

Welsh is a new cultivar of triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) which was developed from a cooperative program center (CIMMYT) in Mexico, and the Department of Plant Science, University of Manitoba. It is higher yielding and earlier maturing than Rosner, the first triticale cultivar licensed in Canada.

Frank triticale (× triticosecale Wittmack) was developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Swift Current, Saskatchewan. It was produced by intercrossing genotypes developed by the International Center for the Improvement of Maize and Wheat (CIMMYT), the University of Manitoba and the South Saskatchewan Wheat Program prior to subjecting the segregants to early generation yield-testing procedures. Frank demonstrates major improvements in yield, test weight, and earliness relative to other Canadian triticale cultivars.Key words: Cultivar description, Triticale (spring), × triticosecale Wittmack

An analysis of several triticales (× Triticosecale Wittmack) from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) breeding program showed a strong correlation (r = 0.97, p ≤ 0.01) between test weight and the frequency of aberrant-nucleus formation in early endosperm development. The measurements of rye (Secale cereale L.) heterochromatin content indicated that, as compared with an average rye, in substituted triticales it was reduced by 21.4–49.8% and by 9.3 and 30% from that of two complete rye genome triticales analyzed. No correlation was observed between gross heterochromatin content and frequency of aberrant endosperm nucleus production and (or) test weight. However, both percentage heterochromatin and the production of aberrant endosperm nuclei were greatly reduced as compared with the average triticale previously analyzed. In addition, significant correlations were observed between the frequency of aberrant endosperm nuclei and the amount of telomeric heterochromatin on chromosomes 5R (r = −0.60, p ≤ 0.10) and 6R (r = 0.76, p ≤ 0.05). These results suggest that the presence or absence of telomeric heterochromatin on different rye chromosomes on triticale may have different effects on the regularity of early endosperm development and subsequent test weight at maturity. Furthermore, once the total amount of telomeric heterochromatin present on rye chromosomes was greatly reduced it appeared that other genetic factors became visibly involved in irregularities of endosperm development.

AC Copia, a cultivar of spring triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), was developed at the Research Station, Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, SK. It is widely adapted to the Prairie Provinces of Western Canada. AC Copia represents an improvement in test weight over other currently available Canadian cultivars of triticale. It is very resistant to the prevalent races of leaf rust, stem rust and common bunt, and moderately resistant to common root rot.

Two spring triticale (X-Triticosecale Wittmack) cultivars, Carman and Welsh, and one advanced-generation breeding line were grown under field conditions for 3 yr to study the effects of harvest time and drying method on quality and grade. Plots were harvested at six to seven intervals when kernel water concentration was in the 1000 to 100 g water per kilogram kernel dry weight range. Grain was dried in the field in simulated windrows or artificially dried in a forced-air oven at 40–45 °C. Test weight, 1000-kernel weight, falling number, germination, and commercial grade were determined. Test weight increased with decreasing kernel water concentration at harvest, particularly in the artificially dried treatment. Test weight was greater in the windrowed than in the artificially dried treatment, especially for harvests made at high water concentrations. Harvest at high kernel water concentrations tended to reduce 1000-kernel weight, more so in the windrowed than in the artificially dried treatment. Although falling numbers were influenced by harvest time and drying method, there were no clear trends. Germination was reduced in material cut at a kernel water concentration above 680 g∙kg−1 in 1 of 2 years. Grades were reduced by artificial drying of grain, particularly when harvested at high kernel water concentrations. Grades were unaffected by windrowing at kernel water concentrations of up to 1000 g∙kg−1.Key words: X-Triticosecale Wittmack, test weight, falling number, germination, windrow

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum (Schwabe), is one of the most destructive diseases in cereals worldwide. It may severely reduce both grain yield and quality, with potential contamination from trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON). Spring and winter triticales (X Triticosecale Wittmack) were evaluated in a multi site and year field study to determine their susceptibility to FHB and DON accumulation. Fusarium-damaged kernels (FDK) and DON levels were affected significantly by both cultivar and site-year. Triticales were generally more susceptible to FHB compared with winter and spring wheat checks, as indicated by the higher levels of FDK and DON levels. A significantly positive linear relationship was observed between FDK and DON levels in winter triticales. This relationship in spring triticales was not significant on the combined data, but at each site-year, the regression was strong. FDK can be a good predictor of DON levels when environmental conditions are similar. The Atlantic region would appear to be a very good location in Canada for screening for fusarium head blight resistance. Key words: Winter triticale, spring triticale, cultivar; fusarium head blight, fusarium head blight, fusarium-damaged kernels, deoxynivalenol

AC Certa, a spring triticale cultivar (X Triticosecale Wittmack) was developed at CIMMYT and introduced by the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre, Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, via the 21st ITSN in 1989. It is widely adapted to the Prairie Provinces. AC Certa represents a significant improvement in test weight. AC Certa has an improved Hagberg Falling Number which is usually associated with improved harvest-time sprouting resistance AC Certa is very resistant to the prevalent races of stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp tritici Eriks. and E. Henn.); leaf rust (caused by P. recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici); highly resistant to common bunt [caused by Tilletia foetida Wallr.) Liro and T. caries (DC) Tul.], and resistant to common root rot [caused primarily by Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc. in Sorok.) Shoemaker]. Key words: Cultivar description, test weight, sprouting resistance, triticale (spring, X Triticosecale Wittmack)
