Regression Model for Time to Flowering of Chickpea Landraces

详细

Regression models for time to flowering had been developed for VIR chickpea landraces collected in Turkey and Ethiopia. Predicted flowering time coincides closely with experimental data. The difference between models is statistically significant. The impact of the temperature to the model for Ethiopia landraces is weaker than that for Turkey landraces, 48 and 60% respectively. The impact of precipitation on phenotype is more than 80%. The obtained results are in agreement with climate characteristics at collection sites.
