'Hollis' hard red spring wheat was developed by the Agricultural Research Center of Washington State University in cooperation with the Agricultural Experiment Stations of the University of Idaho and Oregon State University and the USDA-ARS. Hollis was released as a replacement for 'Scarlet' in nonirrigated, direct-seeded wheat production systems in the semiarid to intermediate rainfall regions in Washington based on its resistance to Hessian fly, high grain protein content, high grain weight volume, and superior bread backing quality. Hollis has good resistance to stripe rust.
