Abstract

Wheat landraces are often utilized in breeding programs for their potential to improve the grain quality of new varieties. Our goal is to evaluate thousand kernel weights (TKW), percentages of the yellowberry kernels (PYK), B, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, S and Zn contents of 25 landraces derived durum wheat pure lines collected from the fauna of Turkey to identify promising candidates. Field trials were conducted in Çanakkale in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 growing seasons and element contents of pure lines were determined by using ICP-OES. Differences between durum wheat landraces were found statistically significant by all traits (p
