Paper Summary

The study looked at different types of durum wheat to see how they vary in grain yield and related traits. They found that some genotypes had more variability in traits like grain yield, tiller number, spike length, and grain weight. Grain yield was mainly influenced by tiller number, grain filling period, and grain weight. This means that focusing on these traits could help improve durum wheat yield.
