U.S. Wheat Associates'Wheat Quality Improvement Teamtravelsto Asia to listen and share with milling and baking customersU.S. Wheat Associates'Wheat Quality Improvement Teamtravelsto Asia to listen and share with milling and baking customers" title="Share this link on Facebook">Washington, DC, USAApril 9, 2015Source:U.S. Wheat Associates newsletterBy Amanda J. Spoo, USW Communications SpecialistEach year the United States exports, 25 to 35 million metric tons (MMT) of wheat, which accounts for roughly 50 percent of the annual crop. This makes the voice of overseas customers important to U.S. wheat research. To demonstrate that importance, four wheat breeders will travel with U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) to Asia, April 18 to 26, 2015, on a Wheat Quality Improvement Team (WQIT).The team will visit with buyers and end-users in Japan, Korea and Thailand to listen and exchange ideas. Their primary goal will be to gather input on wheat quality from key customers to inform their own research and to share what they learn with other U.S. wheat breeders upon their return. They will also share the successful efforts of the U.S. wheat industry to improve the quality of newly released varieties.“It is vital that we actively listen to and respect the needs of our overseas customers,” said USW Vice President and West Coast Office Director Steve Wirsching, who will lead the team. “The impact breeders have on the industry and the livelihood of farmers is huge. Ultimately, if a variety offers higher yield potential but does not have strong milling or baking qualities that domestic and overseas customers need, farmers will feel that impact.”This is the fourth WQIT led by USW. In 2004, USW sponsored a similar trip to Asia, followed by Latin America in 2009, and Europe and Northern Africa in 2010. State commissions in Oregon, Washington, North Dakota and Minnesota identified and sponsored top wheat breeders from their land grant universities to join this team.Dr. Arron H. Carter leads the winter wheat breeding and genetics program at Washington State University where his research focuses on breeding improved wheat varieties for cropping systems in Washington state that incorporate diverse rotations and environments.Dr. Michael Flowers is an assistant professor and extension cereals specialist at Oregon State University where his research areas include variety trials,
nitrogen
management in hard wheat and management practices for new Oregon winter wheat varieties.Dr. Mohamed Mergoum represents North Dakota State University as the Richard C. Frohberg Spring Wheat Breeding/Genetics Endowed Professor. His program’s main objectives are to develop modern and improved cultivars adapted to the spring wheat region and generate wheat germplasm with valuable economic traits required in cultivar development.Dr. James Anderson is a professor in wheat breeding and genetics at the University of Minnesota where the program he leads investigates complexly inherited traits, including disease resistance and
grain
quality, and incorporating disease and
pest
resistance into new cultivars using marker-assisted selection.The WQIT is a part of a larger USW effort to address the quality of exported wheat and the needs of importing countries. It is a logical next step to a 17-year-old program called the “Overseas Variety Analysis” or OVA program. Through OVA, USW cooperates with millers and bakers to compare the performance of flour from newly or soon-to-be released U.S. wheat varieties to the local country’s standards. USW shares these results — both good and not so good — with breeders and with state wheat commissions who develop recommended variety lists for wheat farmers. USW currently works with 22 OVA cooperators around the world. During the upcoming trip, the team will participate in an OVA workshop at the UFM Baking School in Bangkok, Thailand, to hear directly from several Asian cooperators.
