Triticum Durum Desf

One of the common features of the Mediterranean climate in North Africa is the uncertainty of rainfall immediately after wheat (Triticum durum Desf) emerges. Relatively little work has been done to compare the drought resistance of spring durum wheat cultivars under early-season drought stress. There is a limited insight into the physiological basis of spring durum wheat drought resistance in rainfed Mediterranean regions. Field experiments were conducted in 1995 and 1996 growing seasons, and a greenhouse experiment was conducted in 1996 to examine differences in some physiological characters among six spring durum wheat cultivars in response to different durations of early-season drought, and rewatering; and to determine the relationships of these characters to drought resistance. Six spring durum wheat cultivars were evaluated under four water regimes. Water regime treatments were: a well-irrigated treatment; and three water deficit treatments imposed during the period from emergence through either the onset of tillering, mid-tillering or the end of tillering. Cultivars differed widely in their response to early season water stress. Under drought stress conditions, grain yield, aboveground dry matter yield, water use efficiency for the grain (WUEg) and for the total dry matter (WUEdm) were strongly positively associated with net CO2 uptake:transpiration ratio (A/E), and osmoregulation capacity. It is concluded that drought-induced changes in A, A/E, stomatal resistance, and osmotic adjustment are possible key control points in determining the drought-resistance of a cultivar. Furthermore, there is a substantial degree of intraspecific variation for the above mentioned physiological attributes to explore as a selection tool. Selection for high osmoregulation capacity and high A/E ratio would seem to be a justifiable means of improving total dry matter and grain yield under conditions of early-season water stress.

<p class="4Body">Total Dray Matter (TDM), Photosynthetically Active Radiation Intercepted (PARabs), Water Consumption (WC), Water use- (WUE), Radiation use efficiency (RUE) and the Relation between Radiation Interception and Water Consumption for Durum Wheat were investigate under different irrigation amount (D<sub>1</sub>= 100 % ETc; D<sub>2</sub>= 70 % ETc; D<sub>3</sub>= 40 % ETc and D<sub>4</sub>= pluvial) and during three growing seasons (2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008). Results showed that, the cumulative PARabs decreased with deficit irrigation. In fact, D<sub>1</sub> treatment recorded the highest cumulative PAR abs and the lowest marked under D<sub>4</sub> treatment. Similarly, TDM and RUE were decreased with deficit irrigation. The highest RUE observed under the D<sub>1</sub> (from 1.32 to 1.43 g MJ<sup>-1</sup>) and the lowest under D<sub>4</sub> (from 1.17 to 1.29 g MJ<sup>-1</sup>). However WUE increased with deficit irrigation. The highest WUE were obtained under the D<sub>4</sub> (from 3 to 4 kg m<sup>-3</sup>) and the lowest were observed under D<sub>1</sub> (from 2.8 to 3.1 kg m<sup>-3</sup>). Significant linear relationship was found between cumulative PAR abs and cumulative water consumption with a high correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) only under the two treatments D<sub>1</sub> and D<sub>2</sub>.</p>

Investigations were carried out in 2007-2009 on the plots of the Felin Experimental Station belonging to the University of Life Science in Lublin. The studies comprised two cultivation lines of durum wheat (<i>Triticum durum</i> L.): STH 716 and STH 717, as well as the 'Tonacja' cultivar of common wheat (<i>T. aestivum</i> ssp. <i>vulgare</i> L.). Two levels of chemical protection were applied in the cultivation: minimal and complex protection. Infection of wheat roots and stem bases was recorded in each growing season at hard dough stage (87 in Tottman's scale, 1987). After three years of study, the mean disease indexes for the analyzed wheat genotypes in the experimental treatment with minimal protection were 31.13, 30.43 and 38.83 for, respectively, the 'Tonacja' cultivar and the cultivation lines of <i>T. durum</i> STH 716 and STH 717. In the experimental combination with complex protection, after three years of study the disease indexes ranged from 25.26 (<i>T. durum</i> STH 716) to 30.83 (<i>T. durum</i> STH 717). The results of mycological analysis of diseased plants showed that <i>Fusarium</i> spp., especially <i>F. culmorum</i>, <i>F. avenaceum</i> as well as <i>Bipolaris sorokiniana</i> and <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i>, caused root rot and necrosis of wheat stem bases. The analyzed chemical protection levels did not significantly influence grain yield of the investigated genotypes of <i>T. aestivum</i> and <i>T. durum</i>.
