Abstract
The combining ability of nine durum wheat varieties for traits stem length, diameter of the first and second internodes, and thickness of their nodes is analyzed. The studied traits are controlled by a complex genetic system whose expressivity depends on the environmental conditions. In a wet year, when stem lodging is observed, additive effects prevail in genetic control of the traits. The role of nonadditive gene interaction increases under dry conditions.
