Abstract: | Wheat grain yield production in the rain-fed areas is limited by water deficits during crop growth. A greenhouse experiment
was conducted during spring 1992 at ICARDA, Tel Hadya, Syria, with eight genotypes representing two Triticum species (Triticum turgidum var. durum and Triticum aestivum L.) under four soil-moisture regimes (95%, 75%, 55%, and 35% field capacity) to study the effect of water deficit on leaf
development. The phyllochron was similar in the two species across the watering regimes. The range in variation in phyllochron
among the genotypes was similar in the two species. Phyllochron response to water stress among genotypes was distinct in the
driest regime in both species. Cham 6 (T. aestivum) and Gallareta (T. turgidum var. durum) had similar phyllochron across all moisture regimes whereas in other genotypes phyllochron was higher in the dries regime.
Leaf area decreased with increasing moisture stress. Triticum turgidum var. durum genotypes were later in flowering as they had, on average, one leaf more than Triticum aestivum genotypes with similar leaf appearance rates. |
