Interpretive Summary: 'Denali' is a new hard winter wheat cultivar developed by the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA-ARS and Co-released with Kansas State University (KSU) August 2011. Denali was selected from the cross CO980829/'TAM 111'. CO980829 is an experimental line from CSU with the pedigree 'Yuma'/PI 372129//CO850034/3/4*Yuma/4/NEWS12. TAM 111 is a hard red winter wheat cultivar released by Texas A&M University. Denali was selected as an F5:6 line, CO050303-2, in 2007. This line has superior grain yield in eastern Colorado, grain test weight, and resistance to stripe rust.

Technical Abstract: 'Denali' (PI 664256) hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station and released cooperatively by Colorado State University (CSU) and Kansas State University (KSU) August, 2011, through a marketing agreement with the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation. In addition to researchers at CSU and KSU, USDA-ARS researchers at Manhattan, KS, St. Paul, MN, and Pullman, WA, participated in its development. Denali was selected from the cross CO980829/'TAM 111' made in 2001 at Fort Collins, CO. CO980829 is an experimental line from CSU with the pedigree 'Yuma' (PI 559720)/PI 372129//CO850034/3/4*Yuma/4/NEWS12. TAM 111 (PI 631352) is a hard red winter wheat cultivar released by Texas A&M University in 2002. Denali was selected as an F5:6 line in July, 2007, and assigned experimental line number CO050303-2. Denali was released because of its superior grain yield under non-irrigated and irrigated production conditions in eastern Colorado, its grain volume weight, and its resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici).
