Abstract:
Twenty five advanced wheat lines, which included 12 sister lines, with tolerance to stress and the
commercial durum wheat cultivar Movas C2009 as well as the commercial bread wheat cultivar
Borlaug 100 were sown on January 12 and 31, 2017, at the Norman E. Borlaug Experimental
Station, in the Yaqui Valley, Sonora, Mexico. Plots consisted of 1 bed 2 m long with two rows
and 0.80 m apart, and a seed density of 100 kg ha-1. Average daily temperature (°C), maximum,
minimum, relative humidity, and cold units were recorded from January 12 to May 15, 2017.
The variables evaluated were: days to heading, plant height (cm), a thousand grain weight (g),
and grain yield per plot (g). The average days for heading was 68 and the average plant height
was 60 cm. The average a thousand grain weight was 41.6 g; the line KACHU#1 showed the
highest weight with 52.9 g, while BAJ#1 showed the lowest weight 27.3 g. The average grain
yield per plot was 294.5 g. Outstanding lines were VOROBEY with 460 g, KACHU#1 with 408
g, and PUB94.15.1.12/WBLL1 with 404 g, which were above 5 t ha-1. The average temperature
was 19.08°C with a maximum of 37.7°C and a minimum of 5.02°C; the average relative
humidity was 66.8%, and the number of cold units was 227 |
