Release of UI Gold' hard white spring wheat

'UI Gold' (Reg. no. CV-1205, PI 700874) hard white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station and released in 2022. UI Gold was derived from the cross A03018S-E x WA8123. It was tested under experimental numbers A11434-14 and IDO1804S and showed high grain yield and excellent bread-baking quality when grown in both irrigated and dryland conditions. UI Gold has grain yield comparable to the high-yielding hard white spring check cultivar 'Dayn' and higher yield than the widely grown hard white spring wheat cultivars 'SY Teton' and 'UI Platinum'. UI Gold has gluten strength similar to SY Teton and greater gluten strength than Dayn and UI Platinum. Compared with Dayn, in various trials UI Gold matured 3-4 days later and was 1-5 cm shorter. 'UI Gold' is a hard white spring wheat cultivar with high grain yield.'UI Gold' has desirable bread baking quality.
