Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Frost tolerance in durum wheat is mainly controlled by copy number variation of CBF - A14 at the Fr - A2 locus. Frost tolerance is a key trait for successful breeding of winter durum wheat (Triticum durum) which can increase the yield performance in regions favoring autumn-sown winter cereals. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic architecture of frost tolerance in order to provide...
