Description: ‘Outlook’ (Reg. no. CV-931; PI 632252) is a hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) developed by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and released in February 2002. Outlook is targeted for all production areas of Montana on the basis of its resistance to the Russian wheat aphid [Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko)], high yield potential, and good bread-baking characteristics. Outlook has middense, erect, and tapering heads with red awns and glumes. Glumes are acuminate and the shoulder is wanting. Kernels are red, ovate, midlong and have a medium brush. Kernels have a medium crease with rounded cheeks. Anthocyanin is absent in the coleoptile, and the flag leaf is erect. Mature plant color is red. Creation: Outlook was derived as an F4 plant selection from the cross PI 372129/2*‘Amidon’ (PI 527682)//MT7810/MT7926. PI 372129 is resistant to the Russian wheat aphid due to the presence of resistance gene Dn4 (Nkongolo et al., 1991). MT 7810 (‘Tezanos Pintos Precos’/‘Sonora 64’//‘Fortuna’) was a sister line to ‘Glenman’ (McNeal et al., 1985). MT 7926 was derived from the cross ND 681/MT 6830. MT 6830 has the pedigree ‘Sheridan’//CI 13253/*5‘Centana’. ND 681 was an experimental line from North Dakota State University of unknown pedigree. Country: USA Yeld: Mean grain yield of Outlook over 27 location–years from 1999 to 2001 was 4891 kg ha-1. Go to Tables of wheat varietes
