Revealing Genetic Diversity and Drought Tolerance in Durum Wheat through Agro-Physiological and Molecular Approaches
Abstract
Under changing climate conditions, evaluating both genetic and environmental factors is essential for crop improvement. Limitations of conventional breeding have increased the use of molecular markers to obtain precise genotypic information and improve selection efficiency. This study evaluated drought tolerance in 15 durum wheat genotypes across two cropping seasons under rainfed and irrigated conditions. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used to assess agro-physiological traits, quality parameters, drought tolerance indices, and molecular diversity using iPBS and SCoT markers. Significant genotypic variation was observed for grain yield, 1000-kernel weight, hectoliter weight, protein and starch content, and color traits under both conditions. Ovidio had the highest grain yield and starch content, while Seckin 21 showed the highest 1000-kernel weight. Drought tolerance indices identified NZFM-41 and Maestrale as the most drought-resilient, and Ovidio as highly adaptable with stable yield. 12 indices (SSI, TOL, MP, GMP, STI, YI, YSI, HM, SDI, DI, RDI, SSPI) were calculated from yields under stress (Ys) and non-stress (Yp) conditions. Molecular analysis with 14 iPBS and 10 SCoT primers showed greater polymorphism and allelic diversity for iPBS (PIC = 0.287, Nei’s distance = 0.5348) than SCoT (PIC = 0.191, Nei’s distance = 0.2700). Clustering and population structure revealed two subpopulations, with iPBS providing higher resolution (FST = 0.3443). MP, GMP, STI, YI, HM, and DI were the most reliable indices for identifying drought-tolerant genotypes. In conclusion, iPBS markers exhibited higher discriminatory power than SCoT for assessing genetic diversity, while specific indices (MP, GMP, and STI) proved most effective for identifying drought-tolerant durum wheat genotypes, with NZFM-41 and Maestrale emerging as promising genetic resources for breeding programs aimed at enhancing climate resilience.

Aim & Scope
Turkish Journal of Field Crops is the official publication of Society of Field Crops Science. It offers the latest developments in research to scientists active in field crops. The Journal includes only the original research papers on the following topics:
Breeding and Genetics
Agronomy
Physiology
Forage Crops
Medicinal and Aromatical Plants
Biotechnology
Utilization
High-Throughput Phenotyping / Smart Agriculture
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Field Crops must be based on well-defined experimental research conducted in accordance with appropriate experimental designs with adequate replication. Studies should be carried out under controlled field and/or greenhouse conditions, where treatments, experimental factors, and management practices are clearly described and allow for valid statistical analysis.
The journal does not consider for evaluation manuscripts that rely solely on:
samples collected from natural populations or habitats, or
materials obtained from farmers’ fields or commercial production areas,
when such studies lack a planned experimental design and replication. Accordingly, papers that primarily present and discuss analytical results derived from these types of samples, without controlled experimental implementation, fall outside the scope of the journal.
The Turkish Journal of Field Crops prioritizes research that ensures reproducibility, statistical rigor, and clear interpretation of treatment effects under experimentally controlled agronomic conditions.
Turkish Journal of Field Crops is indexed and abstracted in: Science Citation Index (SciSearch), WOS Core Collection (Clarivate), Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
