Abstract excerpt
For durum wheat, we promote the use of carbon isotope discrimination (delta) as an indirect selection criterion for transpiration efficiency and grain yield (GY), and we identify the most effective organ for characterising delta genotypic variation. A field experiment was conducted in the South of France on 144 accessions, with a drought period occurring from February to June. Harvest index (HI), GY and delta...
