‘Goodstreak’ (Reg. no. CV-945, PI 632434) is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar developed cooperatively by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the USDA-ARS and released in January 2002 by the developing institutions and the Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station. Goodstreak was released primarily for its superior adaptation to rainfed wheat production systems in western Nebraska where conventional-height wheat cultivars with long coleoptiles are needed for good emergence and growth under in low moisture conditions. The name was chosen because the area in which it will most likely be grown is know as "Goodstreak" because the grasslands were better for grazing than the surrounding areas. In this area, drought is common and water-use efficient annual crops and cultivars, such as Goodstreak wheat are required for successful production.
Goodstreak was selected from the cross SD3055/KS88H164//NE89646 that was made in 1991. The pedigree of SD3055 is ND604/SD2971, where ND604 is ‘Len’ (CI 17990)//‘Butte’ (CI 17681)/ND526 and SD2971 is ‘Agent’ (CI 13523)/3/ND441//‘Waldron’ (CI 13958)/‘Bluebird’ (CI 17414)/4/Butte/5/Len. The pedigree of KS88H164 is ‘Dular’(CI 13373)/‘Eagle’ (CI 15068)//2*‘Cheney’ (CI 17765)/‘Larned’ (CI 17650)/3/‘TAM107’ (PI 495594). The pedigree of NE89646 is ‘Colt’ (PI 476975) *2/‘Patrizanka’. The F1 to F3 generations were advanced using the bulk breeding method. Goodstreak is an F3–derived line that was selected in the F4 generation.
Goodstreak was evaluated as NE97465 in Nebraska yield nurseries starting in 1997, in the Southern Regional Performance Nursery in 2000 and 2001, and in Nebraska cultivar performance trials in 2001 and 2002. The average Nebraska rainfed yield of Goodstreak of 3280 kg ha–1 (28 environments) was less than the grain yields of ‘Millennium’ (PI 613099; 3440 kg ha–1), ‘Wahoo’ (PI 619098; 3430 kg ha–1) and ‘Alliance’ (PI 573096; 3380 kg ha–1), but greater than ‘Culver’ (PI 606726; 3230 kg ha–1), ‘Wesley’ (PI 605742; 3160 kg ha–1), and Arapahoe (PI 518591; 3180 kg ha–1). In western NE and WY (12 environments), Goodstreak (2690 kg ha–1) was similar in yield to ‘Pronghorn’ (PI 593047; 2710 kg ha–1) and superior to Buckskin (CI 17263; 2500 kg ha–1). Goodstreak, Pronghorn, and Buckskin are conventional-height wheat cultivars and the most widely grown cultivars in low moisture, rainfed wheat production. Though semidwarf cultivars may perform well in these environments, they are considered by producers as having inconsistent performance because of potentially poor emergence and difficult to harvest in fields that are not level. In the Southern Regional Performance Nursery, Goodstreak ranked 38th of 45 entries in 2000 (32 environments) and 15th of 43 entries in 2001 (32 environments) and averaged 40 kg ha–1 less grain yield than TAM 107. Goodstreak has not performed well under irrigation and is not recommended for use in irrigated productions systems.
Goodstreak is medium in maturity (142 d after 1 January, data from observations in Nebraska), about 1 d earlier flowering than Buckskin and 1.5 d later flowering than Pronghorn. Goodstreak has a long coleoptile (62 mm), as expected for a conventional-height wheat cultivar, and is similar in length to Pronghorn (64 mm) and slightly shorter than Buckskin (70 mm), but longer than semidwarf wheat cultivars such as Arapahoe (45 mm), and Millennium (44 mm). The mature plant height of Goodstreak (94 cm) is 7 cm taller than Millennium and 21 cm taller than Wesley. Goodstreak has good straw strength (9% lodged), which is better than Arapahoe (25% lodged), but lower than Wesley (2% lodged). Though Pronghorn and Buckskin were not in the same trials where lodging was measured, Goodstreak would be slightly superior to Pronghorn and Buckskin. The winter hardiness of Goodstreak is good to very good, and comparable to other winter wheat cultivars adapted and commonly grown in Nebraska.
Goodstreak is moderately resistant to stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks & E. Henn; most likely containing Sr6 and an unknown gene; data provided by D. McVey at the USDA Cereal Disease Laboratory, St. Paul, MN), and Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor Say, superior to Arapahoe, data provided by J. Hatchett and Ming-Shun Chen, USDA and Kansas State University). Goodstreak is susceptible to leaf rust (caused by P. triticina Eriks.; may contain an unknown ineffective gene; data provided by D. McVey at the USDA Cereal Disease Laboratory), Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus, Wheat streak mosaic virus, and Barley yellow dwarf virus (data obtained from the Uniform Winter Wheat Southern Regional Performance Nursery, 2000–2001 and field observations in NE).
Goodstreak has good grain volume weight (76.7 kg hL–1), which is similar to Pronghorn and Millennium, and is superior to Arapahoe (75.0 kg hL–1) and Wesley (74.8 kg hL–1). The milling and baking properties of Goodstreak were determined for 5 yr by the Nebraska Wheat Quality Laboratory. In these tests, Arapahoe was used as a check cultivar. The average protein content of the grain and flour of Goodstreak (137 and 118 g kg–1) was lower than Arapahoe (143 and 131 g kg–1). In the low rainfed environments of western Nebraska and Wyoming, the average grain protein content of Goodstreak (135 g kg–1) was higher than Pronghorn (130 g kg–1) and Buckskin (130 g kg–1). The average flour extraction on the Buhler Laboratory Mill for Goodstreak (708 g kg–1) was similar to Arapahoe (712 g kg–1). The flour ash content (43 g kg–1) was similar to Arapahoe (43 g kg–1). Dough mixing properties of Goodstreak are acceptable, but weaker than Arapahoe. Average bake water absorption was slightly better than Arapahoe. The average loaf volume of Goodstreak (912 cm3) was less than Arapahoe (937 cm3). The scores for internal crumb grain and texture were good and similar to those of Arapahoe. The overall end-use quality characteristics for Goodstreak should be acceptable to the milling and baking industries.
Goodstreak is an awned, white-glumed cultivar. Its field appearance is most similar to Buckskin. After heading, the canopy is moderately closed and upright. The flag leaf is erect and twisted at the boot stage. The foliage is light green to yellow-green with a light waxy bloom at anthesis. The leaves are glaborous. The spike is tapering in shape, narrow, and midlong. The glume is glabrous, midlong and narrow, and the glume shoulder is midwide to wide and square to oblique. The beak is medium in length with an acuminate to acute tip. The spike is usually inclined to nodding at maturity. Kernels are red colored, hard textured, short to midlong, and elliptical in shape. The kernel has no collar, a large brush of medium length, rounded cheeks, large germ, and a narrow and shallow crease.
In positioning Goodstreak, it has performed well throughout most of Nebraska but is best adapted to low rainfed wheat production systems where conventional height wheat cultivars are grown. Goodstreak should be a good replacement for Buckskin. Both are conventional-height cultivars, but Goodstreak has a higher yield potential, slightly better straw strength, and superior disease and insect resistances. Buckskin is susceptible to P. graminis f. sp. tritici and less resistant than Goodstreak to M. destructor. Goodstreak is genetically complementary to ‘2137’ (PI 532107), Alliance, Buckskin, Culver, ‘Jagger’ (PI 593688), Millennium, ‘Niobrara’ (PI 584996), Pronghorn, ‘Vista’ (PI 562653), and ‘Windstar’ (PI 587379).
Goodstreak has been uniform and stable in type and composition since 2000. Less than 0.5% of the plants were rogued from the Breeder seed increase in 2000. The rogued variant plants were taller in height (7–15 cm) or were awnless with red chaff. Up to 1% (10:1000) variant plants may be encountered in subsequent generations. The Nebraska Crop Improvement Association and Mr. Roger Hammons provided technical assistance in describing the cultivar characteristics and accomplishing technology transfer. The Nebraska Foundation Seed Division, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln NE 68583 provided Foundation seed to qualified certified seed enterprises in 2002. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will not have seed for distribution. The seed classes will be Breeder, Foundation, Registered, and Certified. The Registered seed class will be a non-salable seed class. A research and development fee will be assessed on all certified seed sales. Goodstreak will be submitted for registration and U.S. Plant Variety Protection under P. L. 10577 with the certification option. Small quantities of seed for research purposes may be obtained from the corresponding author and the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln for at least 5 yr from the date of this publication.
