Quantitative Trait Loci for Grain Yield and Adaptation of Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) Across a Wide Range of Water Availability

Abstract: Grain yield is a major goal for the improvement of durum wheat, particularly in drought-prone areas. In this study, the genetic basis of grain yield (GY), heading date (HD), and plant height (PH) was investigated in a durum wheat population of 249 recombinant inbred lines evaluated in 16 environments (10 rainfed and 6 irrigated) characterized by a broad range of water availability and GY (from 5.6 to 58.8 q ha À1 ). Among the 16 quantitative trait loci (QTL) that affected GY, two major QTL on chromosomes 2BL a… Show more

“…Selection for DT and many QTLs affecting grain yield identified under drought stress has produced effects that are highly specific to the genetic background (Lafitte et al 2006;Maccaferri et al 2008). In this study, the reciprocal ILs are skewed towards one parent or the other and show relatively uniform genetic background, thus ensuring that QTL mapping of DT was less affected by the genetic 'noise' from co-segregating, non-target traits such as heading date and plant size.…”

“…Grain weight per spike and spike weight were the only traits with absence of stable associations in more evaluation years. Using the collection of genotypes with a high level of polymorphism for association analysis and finding stable QTLs over a course of multiple years could be useful for the breeding process (Maccaferri et al, 2008). A potential new flowering-time gene on chromosome 6D (psp3200) was detected in similar material from the same core collection under contrasting water regimes (Dodig et al, 2012).…”
