“…For that, we conducted an innovative approach combining a late-sowing field trial with two contrasting water regimes to simulate future extreme drought conditions, the use of high-throughput phenotyping devices and an infrared gas analyser to characterise leaf and ear photosynthesis, biochemistry, growth, and stress responses during the reproductive stage, and a novel linear mixed-effects model to integrate these results with final agronomical data. Modern durum wheat and barley, barley landraces and tritordeum varieties were grown and evaluated as individual plants. …”
