COMBINING ABILITY AND DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN BREAD WHEAT UNDER WATER REGIMES
Twenty eight genotypes (seven parents and their 21 F1 crosses) were evaluated for days to heading, spike length, 1000-grain weight, number of grains/spike and grain yield/plant under three water regimes (35, 65 and 100 % from the field capacity of the soil) over two years. Variance analysis revealed that all studied traits were significantly affected by soil moisture content. Moreover, ... Read more
