Abstract: Emai 28 was a new red floury wheat variety bred by crossing Yangmai 15 as the female parent and Hua 2566 as the male parent by Institute of Food Crops, Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In the regional test of wheat in Hubei Province from 2016 to 2018, the average grain yield of Emai 28 was 5 307 kg/hm², 4.97% higher than that of the local check Zhengmai 9023. Emai 28 increased yield in 18 of 23 test sites, the point rate of yield increase was 78.26%. This variety showed the advantage of highly and stable yield. It was moderately resistant to moderately susceptible to Fusarium head blight （FHB） and powdery mildew, moderately resistant to high susceptible to stripe rust, and moderately susceptible to sharp eyespot under disease inoculation situation. Resistance to FHB, powdery mildew, pre-harvest sprout and lodging of Emai 28 were better than CK in production,and it showed the advantages of good comprehensive resistance. The variety was approved by Hubei Provincial Crop Variety Approval Committee in 2020, and the approval number was Eshenmai 20200004. Breeding process and main agronomic characteristics of Emai 28 were systematically elucidated. Yield performance, quality properties and resistance identification of Emai 28 were deeply analyzed, and key cultivation techniques of seed and food production of Emai 28 were thoroughly elaborated in this paper, which will provide theoretical basis and technical support for the application of Emai 28.

Key words: Emai 28, breeding, cultivation techniques
