Screening of Diverse Ethiopian Durum Wheat Accessions for Aluminum Tolerance
Acid soils and associated Al3+ toxicity are prevalent in Ethiopia where normally Al3+-sensitive durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp durum Desf.) is an important crop.To identify a source of Al3+ tolerance, we screened diverse Ethiopian durum germplasm.As a center of diversity for durum wheat coupled with the strong selection pressure imposed by exte
