Interpretive Summary: Wheat growers in the southern United States require high-yielding cultivars with resistance to leaf rust, stripe rust and the Hessian fly. TX17D2337 was released based on its high yield capacity, performance in Texas and adaptability across the wider Gulf Atlantic wheat growing region (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina), resistance to stripe rust, leaf rust, and moderate resistance to Hessian fly. Breeder, foundation, registered, and certified seed are authorized for this cultivar in the U.S.

Technical Abstract: TX17D2337 was developed from the cross of an experimental Louisiana line LA04041D-63 and an experimental North Carolina line NC09-22206 in 2011 made at Louisiana State University. This soft red winter wheat (SRWW) was released in 2022 and is medium maturing, awned, and white-glumed with average height and semi-erect early growth. TX17D2337 was released based on its above average grain yield and grain volume weight, and good resistance to leaf and stripe rust. This cultivar is widely adapted to the SRWW growing regions of Texas as well as the wider region of the Gulf Atlantic including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. The pedigree of TX17D2337 is LA04041D-63 (AGS2060/GA951079A25) by NC09-22206 (NC00-16203 // P26R24 / NC96-13965). Breeder, foundation, registered, and certified seed are authorized for this cultivar in the U.S.
