Registration of ‘USG 3555’ Wheat. Journal of Plant Registrations. 3(3):273-278.Interpretive Summary: "3555" soft red winter wheat is a new cultivar released by the Virginia Polytechnical Institute for wheat growers in the mid-Atlantic region of the eastern US. The Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory provided quality evaluations and interpretation of the appropriate uses of this wheat cultivar.
                                Technical Abstract: ‘USG 3555’ (Reg. No. CV-, PI 654454) soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed and released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station in March 2007.  USG 3555 was derived from the cross VA94-52-60 / Pioneer Brand ‘2643’ (PI 583739 PVPO) // ’USG 3209’ (PI 617055 PVPO) and was tested under the experimental number VA02W-555. USG 3555 is a high yielding, moderately-early heading, awnletted, short stature, semidwarf (Rht2), cultivar that is resistant to powdery mildew [Blumeria graminis (DC) E.O. Speer], stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend.), and stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers.:Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.). In Virginia, average grain yield (2006 – 2008) of USG 3555 (6114 kg ha-1) has been equal to that of the highest yielding cultivars.  In USDA-ARS uniform nursery trials conducted at 27 locations in 2005 and at 26 locations in 2006, USG 3555 produced average grain yields of 5651 and 5530 kg ha-1, respectively, in comparison to nursery mean yields of 4959 kg ha-1 in 2005 and 4878 kg ha-1 in 2006. Milling and baking quality of USG 3555 exceeds that of its parent USG 3209. Grain of USG 3555 has higher break flour yields (30.5% versus 28.3%), softer texture (lower endosperm separation index values 9.98 versus 10.62), lower sucrose solvent retention capacity (98.6% versus 104%), and larger cookie diameters (17.1 cm versus 16.8 cm).
