Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was classified as high-yielding with improved baking quality, belonging to the first quality group according to the standards of that time. It possessed a high protein content and good baking properties, succeeding the Zenith variety.

In the variety's morphology, breeding was aimed at reducing stem length compared to earlier varieties. The variety was part of a Swiss program aimed at combining productivity with reliability, and today it is more often mentioned in the context of genetic research or breeding history.
