Article Synopsis
- - A study was conducted on landrace accessions of common beans from the Lazio region in Italy to identify which genotypes are more drought-tolerant or susceptible, using a controlled pre-screening experiment on 24 diverse landraces.
- - The selected landraces were then tested in field trials under two different water conditions (normal irrigation vs. no irrigation) at two sites with distinct climatic conditions, revealing consistent results across both locations.
- - It was found that yield parameters were more affected by water shortage than morpho-physiological traits, indicating variability among genotypes; some landraces demonstrated significant yield stability under drought, highlighting their potential for drought tolerance.
In this paper volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from durum wheat cultivars and landraces were analyzed using PTR-TOF-MS. The aim was to characterize the VOC's profile of the wholemeal flour and of the kernel to find out if any VOCs were specific to varieties and sample matrices. The VOC data is accompanied by SDS-PAGE analyses of the storage proteins (gliadins and glutenins).
