  11. Pedigree for Triumph Hard Red Winter Wheat • Kanred/Blackhull//Burbank’s Quality/3/Kanred/Blackhull • Kanred: a selection from Crimean (a ‘Turkey’ type) released from KSU in 1917. • Blackhull: a selection from Turkey made by E.G. Clark (KS farmer-breeder) also released in 1917. • Burbank’s Quality (CItr 6607): a white spring wheat; “grown experimentally and to a small extent commercially in CA, MT, and OK in 1920.” • Danne’s first crosses with Burbank’s Quality were made in 1925.

  12. Triumph Hard Red Winter Wheat • Released in 1940 by Joseph Danne; grown in TX, OK, KS, CO, MO, IL, and KY. • Superior characteristics included early maturity, short & stiff straw, resistance to loose smut & stem rust, et al. • Acreage reached: • 1944 – 72,459 1964 – 3,364,495 • 1949 – 5,596,200 1969 – 2,223,099 • 1959 – 6,341,167 1974 – 2,298,643

  13. Triumph 64 Hard Red Winter Wheat • Originally released by Mr. Danne in 1948 or 1949 as ‘Rust Resistant Triumph’; in 1964, was re-released by the OAES as ‘Triumph 64’. • Tmp 64 is very similar to Triumph except for the rust resistance (which had been adapted to by PRT). • Tmp 64 heads 10 to 11 days earlier than Turkey or Kharkof, which head about 2 weeks later and mature about 1 week later than wheats grown in Oklahoma today(Dr. Brett Carver, OSU Wheat Breeder).

  14. Comparison of Heading and Cutting Dates • Earliest (1940): heads – May 7th cut – June 19th • Latest (1940): heads – May 17th cut – June 29th • March 28th – wheat is approaching boot stage, and we will see heads by mid-April.” • “Our earliest maturing varieties are quite likely a month earlier than those varieties popular back in the day of Joseph Danne.” • “I don’t remember a year in the 18 I have been in Canadian County that at least some wheat wasn’t cut before Memorial Day – harvest in most years has a solid start by the last week of May.” 1940 2007 – Brad Tipton – Extension Educator, Canadian County

Darkened area indicates where samples were taken during the 4-year study. • Conclusions: • PGT persist through the summer and fall months but no inoculum in any form detected after January of any year. • PRT present continuously in the area studied.

  17. Chester, K. S. 1942. The Nature and Prevention of Plant Diseases. The Blakiston Company, Philadelphia, 584 pp. ►PGT lives through the winter on wheat & produces uredospores in southern TX & Old Mexico; spring infections result from uredospores from the winter infections; teliospores are functionless. ►Stem rust in northern TX, OK, and southern KS is caused by uredospores blown in by south winds from southern TX and Old Mexico; teliospores are functionless. ►From northern KS to Canada, aeciospores from barberry and uredospores blown up from the south serve as inoculum; also teliospores may overwinter and lead to stem rust. ►In the southern Great Plains, varieties such as Early Blackhull escape stem rust because of their earliness.

  18. Summary/Conclusions • ►Historically, stem rust is more severe in TX and states north of Oklahoma. • ►This is occurs for two reasons: • The early maturity of varieties grown in OK. • The inability of PGT to overwinter in OK. • ►Because of these factors, stem rust in OK results from uredospores blown up from TX, which arrive too late in the spring to cause significant damage. • ►Could this change?? Historically stripe rust has not been a problem in OK because of these same reasons. However, in three of the last six years, this has not been the case.
