| Coordinating organisation: | International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas |
| Description: | Goal: To enhance the tolerance of wheat to drought and heat in the Mediterranean region in order to improve wheat productivity in the dryland and reduce risks in unfavorable agricultural environments Purpose: Phenotypic and genotypic evaluation of drought and heat response in wheat germplasm und controlled and field conditions Outputs: - Drought and heat responses characterized under field conditions - Promising durum and bread wheat lines characterised with drought /heat candidate genes and SSRs/DArT - QTL map developed - Existing mapping population will be phenotyped to further identify QTLs - Pyramiding of genes using DH (bread wheat) and MAS (durum) - Wheat germplasm evaluated by partner NARS in collaboration with resource poor farmers |
