Brevor is a selection made in 1944 from the compound cross, (27—15), (Turkey—Florence X Fortyfold—Federation) X [(Oro X Turkey-Florence) X (Oro X Fortyfold-Federation)] made in 1938. Brevor was released in 1949 primarily because of its high resistance to the races of bunt present in the Pacific Northwest. It increased very rapidly in acreage and was the most extensively grown soft, white, winter wheat variety in 1957 in Washington and northern Idaho. It is expected to be replaced by the new variety Omar (Reg. No. 377). Brevor is midseason in maturity and has a short stiff straw. The culm is white; the spike is awnleted, oblong to clavate; the glume is glabrous and white; and the kernel is white, soft, and of unusually uniform texture. It has only fair milling quality.
