Agronomic performance of wild emmer wheat germplasm (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) grown under irrigated and rainfed conditions
The results showed that the significant genetic diversity observed in wild emmer wheat germplasm under varying conditions highlights its potential for enhancing drought tolerance and improving key agronomic traits, thereby providing valuable resources for breeding programs aimed at increasing the resilience and nutritional quality of bread and durum wheat in water-limited environments.
