Registration of ‘Langin’ Hard Red Winter Wheat

'Langin' (Reg. No. CV-1141, PI 678945) hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed by the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station and released in August 2016 through a marketing agreement with the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation. In addition to researchers at Colorado State University, USDA-ARS researchers at Manhattan, KS, St. Paul, MN, and Pullman, WA, contributed to its development. Langin was developed with the objective of making available a hard red winter wheat cultivar with improved grain yield, end-use quality, and stripe rust resistance compared with 'Byrd' hard red winter wheat. Langin is a doubled haploid cultivar developed using the wheat x maize (Zea mays L.) wide hybridization method from the cross CO050270/Byrd made in 2009 at Fort Collins, CO. Following doubled haploid generation in 2010, Langin was selected at Fort Collins in July 2011, assigned experimental line number CO11D446, and evaluated in yield trials in Colorado and other states in the US hard winter wheat region from 2012 to 2016. The name Langin was chosen in honor of former Colorado State University Extension and Agricultural Experiment Station agronomist Edward J. Langin (1924-2006).
