Description:
MT Sidney was derived from the cross MT1274/’RB07’ that was made in the Montana State University Plant Growth Center in 2012. The University of Minnesota released RB07 in 2007 for high yield, moderate FHB resistance and good end-use quality (Anderson et al., 2009). MT1274 came from the cross ‘Vida’ (Lanning et al., 2006) /’Clear White’ (Chicaiza et al., 2005). Since 2011, Vida is the most widely grown hard red spring wheat variety in Montana. Clear White is a hard white spring wheat variety released by the University of California, Davis for having excellent end-use quality (Chicaiza et al., 2005). Anderson, J.A., G.L. Linkert, R.H.
