Mediterranean environments are of most interest to study pea adaptability to terminal drought conditions especially in the current context of global climate change. In our work we have tested 9 pea cultivars in five South European and North African locations, characterized by different agro climatic conditions within the Mediterranean climate. Data were processed through the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis. Grain yield, aboveground biomass and flowering date were assessed within each Mega Environment (ME) with parametric and non-parametric methods, establishing ranks for the genotypes within each condition attending to their stability parameters and mean values. The field analysis revealed HR1 as a wide adapted genotype, whereas others such as Desso showed the best adaptation in South Mediterranean areas. Our results also highlighted the potential interest of these genotypes and others (i.e. Messire and ZP108) in breeding programs and further studies on drought tolerance.Additional Keywords: dry pea, phenology, Genotype × Environment interaction, drought tolerance Pea behaviour in Mediterranean field environments 5 IntroductionDry pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the most widely grown temperate grain legume in Europe and the second-most in the world (FAOSTAT 2013), being a versatile and inexpensive protein source for animal feeding with a widely acknowledged beneficial role in cropping systems (Drinkwater et al., 1998; Badgley et al., 2006;Nemecek et al. 2008). In spite of these advantages, dry pea acreage shows a constantly decreasing trend at a world level from 10.3 million ha in 1962 to 6.3 ha in 2012 (Rubiales and Mikic 2015).Yield variability and instability are the major problems for pea both within and between sites and seasons due to a poor adaptability and a low tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress (Moot et al. 1995;Jacobsen et al. 2012). Significant efforts have been made in pea breeding for adaptability to continental and oceanic conditions (Cousin 1997). In contrast, little efforts have been paid to improve adaptability to Mediterranean environments with mild winters and dry springs, where spring pea types are autumn sown and challenged by different stresses (Rubiales et al. 2009). As a result, pea cultivation is particularly low in the Mediterranean Basin and recently released pea cultivars are poorly adapted to Mediterranean environments (Rubiales 2015). This is somehow surprising as the East Mediterranean and the West Asia are the primary centre of diversity for pea, where wild forms, such as P. fulvum Sm. and P. sativum subsp. elatius (M. Bieb.) Asch. and Graebn can still be found growing today (Rubiales et al. 2011; and where pea once played a very important role in human diets, as witnessed by the first attested ancient DNA extraction from any legume species Medović et al. 2011).In field conditions, the development of pea genotypes producing high and stable seed yield is most decisive (Cousin, 1997;Rubiales et al. 2011;Smýkal et al. 2012), albeit high...

Screening techniques and sources of resistance to abiotic stresses in cool-season food legumes

The adaptability and productivity of cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil, pea) are limited by major abiotic stresses including drought, heat, frost, chilling, waterlogging, salinity and mineral toxicities. The severity of these stresses is unpredictable in field experiments, so field trials are increasingly supplemented with controlledenvironment testing and physiological screening. For drought testing, irrigation is used in dry fields and rain-out shelters in damp ones. Carbon isotope discrimination ( 13 C) is a well-established screen for drought tolerance in C3 cereal crops which is now being validated for use in grain legumes, but it is relatively expensive per sample and more economical methods include stomatal conductance and canopy temperature. Chickpea lines ICC4958 and FLIP87-59C and faba bean line ILB938 have demonstrated good drought tolerance parameters in different experiments. For frost tolerance, an efficient controlled-environment procedure involves exposing hardened pot-grown plants to subzero temperatures. Faba beans Cote d'Or and BPL4628 as well as lentil ILL5865 have demonstrated good freezing tolerance in such tests. Chilling-tolerance tests are more commonly conducted in the field and lentil line ILL1878 as well as derivatives of interspecific crosses between chickpea and its wild relatives have repeatedly shown good results. The timing of chilling is particularly important as temperatures which are not lethal to the plant can greatly disrupt fertilization of flowers. Salinity response can be determined using hydroponic methods with a sand or gravel substrate and rapid, efficient scoring is based on leaf symptoms. Many lines of chickpea, faba bean and lentil have shown good salinity tolerance in a single article but none has become a benchmark. Waterlogging tolerance can be evaluated using paired hydroponic systems, one oxygenated and the other de-oxygenated. The development of lysigenous cavities or aerenchyma in roots, common in warm-season legumes, is reported in pea and lentil but is not well established in chickpea or faba bean. Many stresses are associated with oxidative damage leading to changes in chlorophyll fluorescence, membrane stability and peroxidase levels. An additional factor relevant to the legumes is the response of the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria to the stress.

“…According to Li et al (1999), drought stress during the growth stage can result in fewer roots, accelerate the aging of the aboveground components, and decrease root biomass production and raw cotton yield. Both total root length and dry matter accumulation of soybean roots were found to decline in arid treatments (Grzesiak et al, 1997). Under the arid soil condition with low precipitation in 2015, the film mulching treatment played a role in conserving soil moisture, whereas soil with the film removal treatment was under excessive drought stress.…”

A fi eld experiment was conducted to examine the infl uence of mulch fi lm removal time (10 and 1 d before the fi rst irrigation (T10 and T1, respectively) and 1 d before the second irrigation (E1) aft er emergence) on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) root morphology and dry matter accumulation. Th e control group (CK) was fi lm mulched throughout the growth stage. In 2015, the respective root length density (RLD), root surface-area density (RSD), and root volume density (RVD) in E1 were highest during the initial fl owering stage (IFS, 3537 m m -3 , 3.4819 m 2 m -3 , and 382 cm 3 m -3 ) and blossoming and boll forming stage (BBFS, 2472 m m -3 , 3.1307 m 2 m -3 , and 421 cm 3 m -3 ). Th e maximum root dry matter accumulation was measured in CK (2647 kg ha -1 ). In 2016, which had more rainfall, RLD (1699 m m -3 ) and RSD (2.6877 m 2 m -3 ) in T10 and RVD in T1 (503 cm 3 m -3 ) were the highest during IFS. RLD in E1 (2234 m m -3 ), RSD (3.6770 m 2 m -3 ) and RVD (598 cm 3 m -3 ) in CK were the highest during BBFS. Th e cotton root/shoot ratio (R/T) was higher in the fi lm-removal treatments than in CK. E1 showed the highest proportion of fi ne roots thinner than 1.0 mm during any stage except for 2015 BBFS. Th e results indicate that fi lm removal at an appropriate time can increase RLD, RSD, and RVD, but it is conducive to the accumulation of root dry matter only in years with lower rainfall.
