Application No: 1999/290 Accepted: 26 Oct 1999.<br />

Agent: Heritage Seeds Pty Ltd, Howlong, NSW.<br />

Characteristics (Table 62, Figure 51) Coleoptile:<br />

anthocyanin absent. Plant: growth habit intermediate,<br />

frequency of plants with recurved flag leaves high, maturity<br />

late, length medium (106mm). First Leaf: anthocyanin<br />

colouration absent. Flag leaf: length short (237mm), width<br />

wide (20.75), ratio of length to width low (11.41),<br />

glaucosity of sheath very strong, glaucosity of blade weak.<br />

Awn: anthocyanin colouration absent, colour brown. Culm:<br />

hairiness of uppermost node very strong, glaucosity of neck<br />

very strong. Ear: distribution of awns whole length, length<br />

excluding awns medium (90.9), total length of head<br />

(including awns) long (223), ratio of length of awns to total<br />

head length medium (2.45). Lower glume: shape strongly<br />

elongated, shape of shoulder sloping, shoulder width<br />

narrow, length of beak short, shape of beak straight,<br />

hairiness of external surface present. Straw: pith in cross<br />

section thick. Ear: hairiness of margin of first rachis<br />

segment very strong, colour white, shape in profile view<br />

tapering, density dense. Grain: shape elongated, length of<br />

brush hair in dorsal view medium.<br />

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />

‘Tetraprelude’ x pollen parent ‘Waitohi’ in a planned<br />

breeding program in 1987 in New Zealand. The seed parent<br />

is characterised by very short plant height and the pollen<br />

parent is characterised by white awn colour. F 1 was sown<br />

out in the field in 1988. Pedigree selection was done within<br />

F 2 -F 3 generations in 1989 and 1990. In 1991, single plant<br />

selection was continued within the pedigree generation and<br />

selection number 23 was selected to become the breeding<br />

line 4210.23. In 1992 and 1993 it was sown as an<br />

observation plot. It first entered NZ trials in 1994. In 1995,<br />

the original segregating bulk population was sent to<br />

<strong>Australia</strong>. Fifteen plants were selected for awn colour and<br />

later maturity and grain yield and the selection number 6<br />

was later coded as line 4210.23.6. This line entered trials in<br />

<strong>Australia</strong> in 1997 Selection criteria: maturity, yield and awn<br />

colour. Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Dr. Don Wright,<br />

Choice of Comparators ‘Tamaroi’ was chosen as a<br />

comparator because of its similarity in growth habit.<br />

‘Yallaroi’ and ‘Kronos’ where chosen because these are<br />

similar varieties of common knowledge in terms of height<br />

and growth habit. ‘Kamillaroi’ and ‘Wallaroi’ were<br />

excluded because these are white awned varieties and the<br />
