FRONDOSA and Frontiera, two varieties of wheat introduced from Brazil, have been widely used in soft red winter wheat breeding programs as sources of leaf rust resistance. Many high-yielding, good agronomic strains have been selected from this material. However, these selections are higher in protein and harder in texture than typical soft wheat. These selections are the dominant varieties of the southeast United States despite objection to these features. Some of the released varieties are Coastal, Atlas 66, Atlas 50, Anderson, Taylor, Taylor 49, Tayland, and Coker 47-27.
