Characterization of agronomic and end use quality traits in TAM 1112 populations in diverse environments High temperature and drought are the major constraints to wheat production globally. However, plants have evolved mechanisms to cope with stress. This study investigates the role of leaf and glume wax content to heat and drought tolerance as well as yield and quality stability in TAM1112. A 124 recombinant inbred line (RILs) population, derived from TAM 111 and TAM 112 was used. The population was grown in greenhouse and multiple field locations across Texas for two years. Results indicate that wax content is significantly correlated to canopy temperature and yield parameters. Further, the data suggest that there were differences for quality characters across locations.
