Description:
'WhiteAcre-DG' is the product of a pedigree-type breeding program. The parental lines are 'White Acre' (WA), 'Mississippi Silver' (MS), 'Freezegreen' (FG), and 'Bettergreen' (BG). 'White Acre', used as a parent in four of the crosses, is a late maturity, high yielding, small-seeded, cream-type cultivar. 'Mississippi Silver' is a well adapted, high yielding, brown crowder type cultivar. 'Freezegreen' and 'Bettergreen' are cream-type cultivars; 'Freezegreen' is homozygous for the green testa gene (gt) and 'Bettergreen' is homozygous for the green cotyledon gene (gc). 'WhiteAcre-DG' originated as a bulk of an F10 [F5 {((MS x WA) x WA) x F4 (WA x FG)} x F7 {WA X BG}] population grown in 2001
