ROANE

Roane is a full-season, high yielding, awnletted soft red winter wheat released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. Roane exhibits a stable and high level of performance, broad adaptation, and has an exceptionally high test weight and resistance/tolerance to a broad spectrum of plant pathogens and insect pests. Roane is unique in that it possesses a type of inhibition to either aphid feeding or infection by barley yellow dwarf virus. Roane is resistant to the prevalent field populations of powdery mildew, susceptible to stem rust, intermediately resistant to soil borne Mosaic, Wheat Spindle Streak Mosaic viruses, and to leaf and glume blotch. Roane possesses a moderate level of resistance to scab, and is resistant to Hessian fly biotypes GP, B, C, and E and susceptible to biotypes D and L.
