Abstract

Abstract: Durum wheat [ Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum (Desf.)] is mainly used for the production of pasta, couscous, and bulgur. Spring durum wheat cultivar 'ND Grano' (Reg. no. CV‐1186, PI 687795) was released in 2017 and is adapted to North Dakota and surrounding regions. It was developed by the durum breeding program at North Dakota State University and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. ND Grano was tested as D09557 in the yield trials and has the pedigree D00752/DH01146. In field trials, ND Grano showed high grain yield potential, disease resistance, excellent end‐use qualities, and low cadmium uptake. Based on data from 34 location‐years of testing in the Uniform Regional Durum Nursery, the average grain yield of ND Grano was 4, 008 kg ha –1, compared with 3, 867 kg ha –1 for 'Divide' and 3, 978 kg ha –1 for 'Joppa'. ND Grano has very strong dough mixing characteristics and a high gluten index. Fusarium head blight (FHB) tolerance of ND Grano is similar to Divide. ND Grano is also resistant to predominant races of stem rust. Core Ideas: ND Grano durum wheat was released because of its high yield potential and excellent end‐use quality. ND Grano has low cadmium uptake. ND Grano has very strong dough mixing characteristics and a high gluten index. ND Grano is resistant to predominant races of stem rust and leaf rust.
