Rapid phenotyping tools applied to the prediction of wheat grain yield and quality traits of Navarra: A multi-local study

Abstract

The general objective of the present study was to analyze the correlation between different rapid phenotyping tools and production parameters in the two most cultivated bread wheat varieties in Navarra (Camargo and Marcopolo). In the present study, 17 parcels in Navarre distributed in the north, center and south of the community were analyzed. During the months of May and June, in vivo measures were carried out with SPAD equipment, GreenSeeker and infrared thermometer. Parallel to these measurements, samples of flag and second leaves were taken. Upon reaching the maturity period, samples of mature grain were taken and the yield of the crops was quantified. With the aforementioned samples, the following parameters were quantified: d13C, d15N, C/N, alveographic parameters, gliadins and glutenins.
