Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield in Pakistan has remained stagnant over the past two decades mainly due to the narrow genetic diversity of cultivated varieties. To overcome this limitation and explore new genetic resources for improved productivity, twelve Chinese wheat hybrid lines were evaluated in comparison with two local cultivars at the Agronomy Research Farm, the University of Agriculture Peshawar,...
