Breeding - Pedigree: Sunstate/QH71-6//YITPI Scout (LPB05-1164) was a cross made by David Bonnett in the GrainGene joint venture. Since 2004, the variety has been developed and extensively evaluated by the LongReach Plant Breeders technical team led by Dr Bertus Jacobs. The line was entered into National Variety Trials for the first time in 2008.

Key Features A high yielding variety suited to Victoria and South Australia Bred for adaption to Alkaline soils with a Yitpi background Excellent CCN resistance Good resistance to all current pathotypes of Stem and Leaf Rusts and effective

Adult Plant Resistance for Stripe Rust Very good grain quality, APW Classification in South Australia Medium season maturity Contains the CSIRO Transpiration Efficiency gene, which confers improved

water use efficiency

grain Quality Scout has a final classification of APW in South Australia with a preliminary classification of ASW in Victoria (upgrade pending 2010). Scout has shown sound test weights and low screenings.

agrOnOMiC FeaturesScout has a medium season maturity, similar to Gladius and Catalina

Is well suited to alkaline and acid soils, with good yield performance across a wide range of environments

Medium to long coleoptiles allowing deeper planting with good seedling vigour and medium plant height

Fully awned, white chaffed and white grained

Moderately Resistant (MR) to lodging, adequate shattering resistance with good harvestability

Scout has the carbon isotope discrimination (CID) gene. Developed by CSIRO, the CID gene confers water use efficiency

Mid/Dark green foliage with erect leaf and plant type, large ear and short flag leaf.
