Post-green revolution genetic advance in durum wheat: The case of Spain

This paper addresses the question of whether there has been any genetic gain in yield for durum wheat released in Spain after the Green Revolution and assesses the agronomical and physiological traits associated with evolution of the crop during this time. Field experiments were carried out with a wide range of durum wheat cultivars (released in Spain from 1980 to 2009) and were conducted in different sites embracing a wide range of growing...
