Effect of allele combinations at Ppd‐1 loci on durum wheat grain filling at contrasting latitudes
(Wiley, 2019-09-15)
Flowering time is the most critical developmental stage in wheat, as it determines environmental conditions during grain filling. Thirty‐five spring durum genotypes carrying all ...
Changes in durum wheat root and aerial biomass caused by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation
(Springer, 2016-01-27)
Aims This study aimed to quantify the changes in root and aerial biomass of durum wheat brought about by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation. Methods A ...
Unravelling the relationship between adaptation pattern and yield formation strategies in Mediterranean durum wheat landraces
(Elsevier, 2019-05-07)
Understanding the environmental and genetic factors behind the adaptation of landraces to different environments may help design breeding strategies and to promote yield improvement. Based on previous ...
The climate of the zone of origin of Mediterranean durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) landraces affects their agronomic performance
(Springer, 2014-05-07)
The genetic diversity of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is held by landraces, which are generally considered to be endemic to a particular region to which they are well adapted. To evaluate the ...
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) Mediterranean landraces as sources of variability for allelic combinations at Glu-1/Glu-3 loci affecting gluten strength and pasta cooking quality
(Springer, 2014-03-22)
With the aim of identifying durum wheat landraces (LR) with a potential use in breeding programs for gluten strength enhancement, the allelic combinations present at five glutenin loci were determined ...
Breeding progress in the pasta-making quality of durum wheat cultivars released in Italy and Spain during the 20th Century
(CSIRO Publishing, 2014-01-02)
Genetic improvement of quality traits of durum wheat achieved in Italy and Spain during the 20th Century was investigated using an historical series of 12 cultivars from each country. The European Union ...
Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of a pale-green durum wheat mutant shows variations in photosystem components and metabolic deficiencies under drought stress
(BMC, 2014-02-12)
Background: Leaf pigment content is an important trait involved in environmental interactions. In order to
determine its impact on drought tolerance in wheat, we characterized a pale-green durum wheat ...
