Abstract excerpt
Association mapping was used to dissect the genetic basis of drought-adaptive traits and grain yield (GY) in a collection of 189 elite durum wheat accessions evaluated in 15 environments highly different for water availability during the crop cycle (from 146 to 711 mm) and GY (from 9.9 to 67.3 q ha(-1)). For highly heritable traits (e.g. heading date, kernel weight, etc.) several significant experiment-wise...
