LASANA-INIA, NEW HIGH YIELD SPRING BREAD WHEAT VARIETY FOR CHILE Abstract uri icon

abstract

  • Lasana-INIA is a spring wheat variety (Triticum aestivum L.) originating from a cross in the Wheat Plant Breeding Project of the Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias (INIA), in the Centro Regional de Investigación Quilamapu in 1996. It has a semi-erect growth habit at the seedling stage. The adult plant is low to medium height and varies between 85 and 100 cm. The spike is white with long awns along its full length. The grain is elliptic, red, and vitreous. The thousand-kernel weigh varies between 42 and 49 g. When sown in mid-August at the Santa Rosa Experimental Station (36°31’ S; 71°54’ W), Chillán, head emergence occurred 95 to 100 days after sowing. Lasana-INIA mean yields were 0,5 to 3,1% higher than the control variety Pandora-INIA under irrigation conditions and 4,2 to 9,5% higher in rain feed areas. Up to the 20182019 season, Lasana-INIA has shown resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis West. f. sp. tritici), leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Erikss.), powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Marchal), and to leaf blotch (Mycosphaerella graminícola (Fuckel) J. Schröt). Lasana-INIA exhibits alleles 1, 17+18 and 5+10 at the homoeologous GluA1, GluB1 and Glu1D loci. The variety does not carry the 1BL.1RS rye translocation, and thus its Corrected Glutenin Score reaches a maximum value of 10. Lasana-INIA contains the “ba” puroindoline haplotype, and exhibits the I allele at the ALMT1 locus for aluminum tolerance.
