Popis: Flowering time is the most critical developmental stage in wheat, as it determines environmental conditions during grain filling. Thirty‐five spring durum genotypes carrying all known allele variants at P p d ‐1 loci were evaluated in fully irrigated field experiments for three years at latitudes of 41°N (Spain), 27°N (northern Mexico) and 19°N (southern Mexico). Relationships between weight of central grains of main spikes (W) and thermal time from flowering to maturity were described by a logis‐tic equation. Differences in flowering time between the allele combination causing the earliest (GS100/Ppd‐B1a) and the latest (Ppd‐A1b/Ppd‐B1a) flowering were 7, 20 and 18 days in Spain, northern Mexico and southern Mexico, respectively. Flowering delay drastically reduced the mean grain filling rate (R) and W at all sites. At autumn‐sowing sites, an increase of 1°C in mean temperature during the first half of the grain filling period decreased W by 5.2 mg per grain. At these sites, W was strongly dependent on R. At the spring‐sowing site (southern Mexico), W depended on both Rand grain filling duration. Our results suggest that incorporating the allele combina‐tions GS100/Ppd‐B1a and GS105/Ppd‐B1a (alleles conferring photoperiod insensitiv‐ity) in newly released varieties can reduce the negative effects of climate change on grain filling at the studied latitudes info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
