Comparative analysis of biomorphological and technological traits of durum wheat genotypes (Triticum durum Desf.)

The study was conducted with the aim of studying the biomorphological and technological parameters of durum wheat genotypes of different origins. Experiments were conducted at the Azerbaijan State Agrarian University in 2022-2024 on 37 of 77 genotypes of durum wheat. The main morphological indicators were analyzed. Glass viscosity, gluten content, gluten deformation coefficient and protein content were determined from the technological indicators. The obtained results showed that there are statistically significant differences between the genotypes for all indicators. In particular, the highest weight of 1000 grains was the variety Ganja-5 (79.2 g), and the height of the plant (118.0 cm) was superior to the variety Ganja-6. It is established that the highest amount of grains in the ear is 3.3 g and the yield of the grain has the genotype GDP-701. In terms of technology, GDP-741 and GDP-535 were superior in terms of KDG, and GDP-560 and GDP-574 in terms of gluten content. These results indicate that some genotypes are recommended for selection based on both biomorphological and technological parameters and have the potential to adapt to the conditions of Azerbaijan.
