Interpretive Summary: ‘UI Darwin’ (PI 639953) is a hard white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) developed by the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station and released in February 2006. UI Darwin, named for English naturalist Charles Darwin, was released for selected improvements in bread quality relative to hard white winter wheats of the intermountain west. UI Darwin is intended as a hard white replacement to the high quality, hard red winter wheat ‘Bonneville’. UI Darwin is best-adapted low-rainfall, crop-fallow production systems of the intermountain zone of the western United States.
