Abstract excerpt
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a devastating fungal disease affecting durum and bread wheat worldwide. Tunisian durum wheat landraces are reported to be valuable genetic resources for resistance to STB and should prominently be deployed in breeding programs to develop new varieties resistant to STB disease. In this study, a collection of 367 old durum and 6 modern wheat genotypes previously assessed using...
