Dataset of above and below ground traits assessed in Durum wheat cultivars grown under Mediterranean environments differing in water and temperature conditions

The focus of this data is to provide raw information that was used to elaborate the research article entitled “Durum wheat ideotypes in Mediterranean environments differing in water and temperature conditions”, which aims to define specific durum wheat ideotypes according to their responses to different agronomic conditions. In this context, six modern (i.e. post green revolution) genotypes with contrasting yield performance (i.e. high vs low yield) were grown during two consecutive years under different treatments: (i) winter planting under support-irrigation conditions, (ii) winter planting under rainfed conditions, (iii) late planting under support-irrigation. Different traits were assessed to inform about water status, root performance, phenology, nitrogen status/photosynthetic capacity, crop growth, grain yield and agronomic yield components.

本数据集的焦点在于提供用于完善题为《不同水分和温度条件下地中海环境中的杜兰小麦理想型》的研究文章的原生信息。该研究旨在根据杜兰小麦对不同农业条件的响应来定义特定的理想型。在此背景下，选取了六种现代（即绿色革命之后的）产量表现差异显著（即高产与低产）的基因型，在连续两年中，分别在不同处理条件下进行种植：（一）冬季种植，在支持灌溉条件下；（二）冬季种植，在雨养条件下；（三）晚季种植，在支持灌溉条件下。评估了不同的性状，以了解水分状况、根系表现、物候学、氮素状况/光合能力、作物生长、籽粒产量和农业产量成分。
