Key words:
Triticum aestivum L.; bread baking quality; tolerance to soil aluminum

INTRODUCTION

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is highly important in the agricultural economy of the world, ranking third in global grain production. Therefore, the search for greater productivity is one of the main goals of breeding programs worldwide (Carvalho et al. 2008Carvalho FIF, Lorencetti C, Marchioro VS and Silva AS (2008) Condução de populações no melhoramento genético de plantas. UFPel, Pelotas. 288p.). On the other hand, it is very important that at the time of harvest, the wheat grains have the desired technical properties that meet the demands of the processing industry and consequently of consumers.

According to Pomeranz (1987Pomeranz Y (1987) Modern cereal science and technology. VHC, New York, 486p.), the wheat grain quality can be influenced by a number of factors such as soil, climate, pests, diseases, management, harvesting, drying, storage, and milling. In view of these different factors, the use of cultivars with genetic potential for a specific industrial purpose is the best way of ensuring an end product with higher quality. Wheat with high gluten strength can be used in flour blends to improve the baking quality of other wheat varieties with low gluten strength (Gutkoski et al. 2007Gutkoski LC, Klein B, Agnussatt FA and Pedó I (2007) Características tecnológicas de genótipos de trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivados no cerrado. Ciência e Agrotecnologia 31: 786-792.). With a view to the establishment of cultivars with high yield potential, along with the technical property high gluten strength, which is currently particularly valued by the food industry, COODETEC developed wheat cultivar CD 1104.

BREEDING METHODS

Cultivar CD 1104 was obtained from the cross between cultivars CD 108 and BRS 220, by COODETEC in 2002, in Palotina. The F1 seeds were sown in the same year in a greenhouse, in Cascavel. The plants were harvested at maturity and all ears bulk-threshed, resulting in the F2 population. The F2 population was grown in a field in Palotina, in 2003, applying the modified mass method. This procedure consists of selecting the best plants within a population, threshing all ears of all selected plants together, of which a significant sample of seeds is sown on a plot with individual plants to obtain the next generation. The F3 population was conducted by the above method in Cascavel, in 2004. In 2005 and 2006, respectively, the populations F4 and F5 were grown in Palotina by the genealogical method. This procedure consists of selecting plants, the ears of each selected plant are threshed together and the seeds of each plant sown in the next generation in a plot with individual plants. The F6 population was also selected by the genealogical method in the field in Cascavel, in 2007, when the traits for various sibling lines were fixed, of which one line was selected (line CD 1034), from which CD 1104 was derived. The pedigree of this line is CC16440-00P-00T-7T-1Q-0T.

TRAITS AND PERFORMANCE

Line CD 1034 was included in the HC (Hot/Cold) genotype collection in 2008, and was tested in 2009 in Preliminary tests in Cascavel/PR, Palotina/PR, Guarapuava/PR, Não me Toque/RS, and in São Gotardo/MG, where yields exceeded those of the controls. The VCU trials of 2010-2014 were distributed at different locations of the wheat-producing regions and in different seasons (Table 1). The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with three replications in plots with six 5-m long rows, spaced 0.17 m apart. Fertilization and disease, pest and weed control were applied according to official technical recommendations (Comissão 2011Comissão Brasileira de Pesquisa de Trigo e Triticale (2011) Informações técnicas para trigo e triticale - safra 2011. Coodetec, Cascavel, 170p.). Prior to sowing, the seeds were treated with Triadimenol + Imidacloprid.

The variables measured in the VCU tests were grain yield, days from emergence to heading, days from emergence to maturity, plant height, lodging, hectoliter weight, 1000-grain weight, pre-harvest sprouting, and tolerance to soil aluminum. The grains of three replications per treatment were mixed, generating composite samples, including quality analyses, thereby obtaining the variables: falling number, gluten strength and alveograph tenacity/extensibility ratio; farinograph stability; and flour color. The latter was determined by the L, a, b system by which the values ​​of L (lightness) vary from 0 (black) to 100 (white) and the a and b values ​​(chromaticity coordinates) range from -a (green) to +a (red) and from -b (blue) to +b (yellow). At strategic locations, the genotypes included in the VCU tests were grown together without disease control, and the diseases leaf rust, leaf spot, powdery mildew, fusarium head blight, blast and mosaic virus were evaluated, among others.

The plant height of cultivar CD 1104 is medium (81 cm), ranging from 60 to 95 cm. The cycle is medium (52-86 d from emergence to heading; 105-133 d from emergence to maturity). In the mean, these traits were, respectively, 68 and 120 d. CD 1104 was classified as moderately susceptible to lodging, moderately resistant to moderately susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting and moderately tolerant to soil aluminum. The mean hectoliter weight was 79 kg hL-1 and 1000-grain weight 35 grams.

In collections comprising the genotypes of the VCU tests at specific locations from 2010 to 2014 without disease control, information was obtained for the classification of cultivar CD 1104 with regard to the reaction to the main diseases. The cultivar was classified as moderately resistant to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici), blast (Pyricularia grisea) and wheat mosaic virus (soil-borne wheat mosaic virus), and moderately susceptible to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici), scab (Fusarium graminearum), leaf spots (Septoria tritici and Bipolar sorokiniana), glume blotch (Septoria nodorum), and to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina).

In the analysis of processing quality of 32 samples of the experiments conducted from 2009 to 2014 in the wheat-growing regions 1, 2, 3 and 4, mean of 429 x10-4 joules of gluten strength (W) and stability of 17.5 minutes were found, classifying CD 1104 in the group of strong wheat cultivars (Table 2). The high mean W value of cultivar CD 1104 indicates that the flour obtained from grain of this cultivar can be used in blends with weak wheat flour, to improve the flour quality for bread-baking. In terms of ​​ gluten strength and stability in different environments, cultivar CD 1104 had a medium performance and was thus classified as strong wheat in the wheat-growing region 1 as well. In this way, it became part of the choice group of high-W cultivars released on the market by COODETEC (Franco et al. 2009Franco AF, Marchioro VS, Dalla Nora T, Schuster I, Oliveira EF, Vieira ESN and Lima FJA (2009) CD 116: A healthy wheat cultivar with industrial quality.

The grain yield means of cultivar CD 1104 in the wheat-growing regions 1, 2, 3, 4 (irrigated) and 4 (rainfed), were 2%, 9% 14%, 11%, and 4% higher than those of the control mean, respectively (Table 3). The overall grain yield mean was 4427 kg ha-1, exceeding the controls by 8%. In view of the grain yield performance of cultivar CD 1104, it was indicated for cultivation in the wheat-growing regions listed above, for the states of RS, SC, PR, SP, MS, MG, DF, GO, and MT. The cultivar was registered by the Registro Nacional de Cultivares (no 32282). Cultivar CD 1104 has a high yield potential, strong wheat quality, high gluten strength and stability in different environments, representing a promising option for farmers of the segment of strong wheat production.
