Durum Wheat Mediterranean Landraces: A Valuable Source for Resistance to Tan Spot Disease

Tan spot (TS), caused by <i>Pyrenophora tritici-repentis</i> (<i>Ptr</i>), has gained significant importance in Tunisia. In this study, a Mediterranean durum wheat collection of 113 accessions were evaluated under field conditions, during the 2018–2019 cropping season, for re...
