One main reason for the slow improvement of durum wheat in water-limited environments is the lack of clear understanding of the interrelationships among yield components and their compensatory changes under low and erratic moisture availability. Five cultivars, varying in many physiological attribut

Twenty one diverse, standard and experimental cultivars of common spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were tested for the effect of heat stress on phenology, yield and its components by growing the materials for 2 years under full irrigation during the hot summer (offseason), and the cool winter (no
Combining ability for grain yield, yield components, and several agronomic and qualitative traits, was studied in a seven-parent diallel cross. The 21 F1 hybrids and the seven parental cultivars were grown in replicated plot trials sown at normal seed density in three locations in the years 1992 and
Near-isogenic tall (no dwarfing gene), semidwarf (Rhtl or Rht2) and dwarf (Rhtl + Rht2 or Rht3) spring wheat lines were evaluated for yield and yield components under irrigated and rainfed conditions . Under irrigated conditions, the dwarf and the semidwarf lines exhibited a significant yield advant
