Study of Genetic Architecture of Some Important Agronomic Traits in Durum Wheat
(Triticum durum Desf.)

Global durum wheat consumption (Triticum durum Desf.) is ahead of its production. One reason for this is abiotic stress, e.g., drought. Breeding for resistance to drought is complicated by the lack of fast, reproducible screening techniques and the inability to routinely create defined and repeatable water stress conditions. Here, we report the first analysis of dissection of yield and yield-related traits in durum wheat in Pakistan, seeking to elucidate the genetic components of yield and agronomic traits. Analysis of several traits revealed a total of 221 (160 with logarithm of odds (LOD) > 2 ≤ 3 and 61 with LOD > 3) quantitative trait loci (QTLs) distributed on all fourteen durum wheat chromosomes, of which 109 (78 with LOD > 2 ≤ 3 and 31 with LOD > 3) were observed in 2016-17 (S1) and 112 (82 with LOD > 2 ≤ 3 and 30 with LOD > 3) were observed in 2017-18 (S2). Allelic profiles of yield QTLs on chromosome 2A and 7B indicate that allele A of Xgwm895 and allele B of Xbarc276 can enhance the Yd up to 6.16% in control and 5.27% under drought. Moreover, if combined, a yield gain of up to 11% would be possible.

Radiation Use

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 (D1= 100 % ETc; D2= 70 % ETc; D3= 40 % ETc and D4= 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, D1 treatment recorded the highest cumulative PAR abs and the lowest marked under D4 treatment. Similarly, TDM and RUE were decreased with deficit irrigation. The highest RUE observed under the D1 (from 1.32 to 1.43 g MJ-1) and the lowest under D4 (from 1.17 to 1.29 g MJ-1). However WUE increased with deficit irrigation. The highest WUE were obtained under the D4 (from 3 to 4 kg m-3) and the lowest were observed under D1 (from 2.8 to 3.1 kg m-3). Significant linear relationship was found between cumulative PAR abs and cumulative water consumption with a high correlation coefficient (R2) only under the two treatments D1 and D2.
