A new wheat cultivar "Nebarigoshi" was developed at the Tohoku National Agricultural Experiment Station (Morioka city, Iwate Prefecture, Japan) in 2000."Nabarigoshi" was selected from double haploid lines of the cross of "Kanto 107"/"Chihokukomugi", aming at a new cultivar with early maturing, high yielding, preharvest sprouting resistance, leaf rust resistance and good noodle-making quality. A promising line was named "Tohoku206" in the DH6 generation to be submitted to local adaptability trials at various locations. "Tohoku 206" was registered at "Wheat Norin 152" by the MAFF and named "Nebarigoshi" in 2000. "Nebarigoshi" was released in Aomori Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture, Akita Prefecture and Yamagata Prefecture as a recommended cultivar in 2000. "Nebarigosi" is characterized by early maturing, high yielding, good inspection grade, low amylose content of wheat flour and good noodle-making quality compared with the leading cultivar "Kitakamikomugi". In addition, "Nebarigoshi" has moderate cold and snow resitance, pre-harvest sprouting resistance, leaf rust resistance and wheat yellow mosaic resistance. Judging from the characteristics of "Nebarigoshi", it will be adapted to the plains with less than 110 days of continuous snow cover in the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions of Japan.
