Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Drought Tolerance in a Mapping Population of Durum Wheat
This study was conducted to compare and estimate the genetic variability among durum wheat lines in response to drought according to their grain yields and physiological traits. The use of fluorescence parameters as drought selection criteria for durum wheat was investigated in a population of 249 r...
