Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding progress in morpho-physiological, agronomical and qualitative traits of durum wheat cultivars released in Italy during the 20th century
Pasquale De Vita,Orazio Li Destri Nicosia,Franca Nigro,Cristiano Platani,Carmen Riefolo,Natale Di Fonzo,Luigi Cattivelli +6 more
TL;DR: Differences in agronomic traits among durum wheat cultivars released in Italy in the last century are generally similar to differences observed in hexaploid wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of barley grain yield in a wide range of Mediterranean environments
Enrico Francia,Alessandro Tondelli,Fulvia Rizza,Franz-W. Badeck,Orazio Li Destri Nicosia,Taner Akar,Stefania Grando,A. Al-Yassin,A. Benbelkacem,William T. B. Thomas,Fred A. van Eeuwijk,Ignacio Romagosa,A. Michele Stanca,Nicola Pecchioni +13 more
TL;DR: The inter-relationships among a series of characters defining grain yield and its components were explored as a function of the length of the different barley developmental phases, and confirmed the crucial role of the period defining the number of grains per unit area in grain yield determination under Mediterranean environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic progress of oats in Italy
TL;DR: Yield increase in oats was found to be negatively correlated with plant height and positively correlated with test weight and seed weight, and a good adaptation of these genotypes to both fertile and drought prone environments.
