Abstract

Wheat breeding line M-97-12 (Bamdad cultivar) was introduced from international center of CIMMYT in 2015 and showed favourable grain yield and good characteristics in the initial evaluations. This line showed favourable grain yield in preliminary yield trial of moderate zone under normal irrigation (stations: Karaj, Zarghan and Kermanshah) and water stressed conditions (station Neishabour) compared to check varieties in 2016-2017 cropping season. This line performed well in the advanced grain yield trial of the temperate zone (stations: Karaj, Zarghan and Kermanshah under normal conditions and Neishabour and Isfahan under terminal water stressed conditions) with 3 replications and due to better performance compared to Rakhshan and Baharan checks was selected for final assessment in 2017-2018 cropping season. Mean grain yield of this line and check varieties in the adaptation trial of temperate zone (stations: Karaj, Zarghan, Kermanshah, Broujerd and Mashhad under normal conditions and Neishabour, Isfahan and Varamin under terminal water stressed conditions) was 7707 and 6367 kgha-1, respectively, compared to Rakhshan with 7218 and 6196 kgha-1 and Baharan with 7209 and 6189 kgha-1, respectively, under normal and water stressed conditions during 2018-2020 cropping seasons. Line M-79-12 showed well performance under normal and water stress conditions in farmers’ fields experiments in 2021-2022 cropping season. This line with grain protein content 12.2%, grain hardinesss 53 and SDS sedimentation hight 65 showed good bread making quality and its reaction to important yellow and brown rust diseases was maximum 30MS. The plant height of line M-97-12 was 101 cm, its thousand grain weight was 42 gr, it was resistant to lodging and had a partial earliness maturity style. Finally, it was released and nominated as “Bamdad” in 2022.
