00Ar134-1 is an intergeneric spring wheat line derived from Elymus repens (quack grass). The line was developed as a potentially new source of resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat. 00Ar134-1 is resistant to Fusarium head blight as well as leaf rust, stem rust, and common bunt. Although lower yielding and taller than commercial cultivars, this line is of similar maturity and kernel weight. 00Ar134-1 can potentially be used as a resistant parent for improving Fusarium head blight resistance in common wheat.
