Multi-environment analysis of nutritional and grain quality traits in relation to grain yield under drought and terminal heat stress in bread wheat and durum wheat
Publicado 2024“…Heat and drought are two important constraints to global wheat productivity; understanding the genotypic responses for quality parameters under harsh production conditions (drought and heat) is very important for developing nutrient-dense wheat varieties. A set of 15 modern bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. subsp. aestivum) and durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) cultivars were tested in nine environments, including three different production conditions (normal, heat and drought) during 2020-21. …”
