Summary: ABSTRACT: In a joint research program the Cerrados Agricultural Research Center, Planaltina, DF; the Wheat National Research Center, Passo Fundo, RS; the State of Minas Gerais Agricultural Research Corporation, Uberaba, MG; the State of Goiás Agricultural Research, Goiânia, GO, and the Agricultural Cooperative for Development of the High Paranaíba River Region released a new cultivar Embrapa 22 indicated for areas with splinkler irrigation in the States of Goiás and Minas Gerais, and Federal District. Recently this cultivar was recommended for Bahia and Mato Grosso States. The cultivar, Embrapa 22, is originated from crossings carried out in the International Center for Corn and Wheat Breeding (CIMMYT), Mexico. It was introduced in Brazil through line colections and was identified in the trials of the Central Brazil research network as line CPAC 841153. Embrapa 22 has greater qualities for the bread industry; has low grain shattering, it is resistant to stem rust and leaf rust under field conditions, and shows medium tolerance to lodging. In several trials, in different places and years, the yield of Embrapa 22 was 4% higher than the cultivar control Embrapa 42 in Federal District and Goiás and Minas Gerais States.
