Because of the very selective environment (hot and dry) the population has been subject to a high selective pressure in its environment of adaptation.

Population still displays a huge diversity with a dominance of taller types, favoured by natural selection in organic conditions (outcompete weeds). Awned and non-awned types both present in equal numbers.

We are now in 4th growing season and so far his selection has been the most productive on his farm. 2011\/2012 was an exceptionally dry year in Tuscany, therefore the best looking plants that year were also the earlier maturing ones. It&#8217;s therefore not very surprising to note that FLORIDDIA&#8217;s selection is morphologically quite similar to its Sicilian counterpart (SOLIBAM Li Rosi): shorter plants with awned years.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-371\" src=\"http:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/matteo-petitti\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2017\/06\/SELEZIONE-ROSARIO1-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/matteo-petitti\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2017\/06\/SELEZIONE-ROSARIO1-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/matteo-petitti\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2017\/06\/SELEZIONE-ROSARIO1-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/matteo-petitti\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2017\/06\/SELEZIONE-ROSARIO1-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/matteo-petitti\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2017\/06\/SELEZIONE-ROSARIO1-1200x803.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEASONAL RAINFALL AND THERMAL TIME (OCTOBER-JUNE) Meteorological data collected for the two main locations of the DIVERSIFOOD trials on soft wheat Evolutionary Populations, are compared side by side for the whole period of adaptation of same SOLIBAM soft wheat EP in these two very different regions (Floriddia-Tuscany and Li Rosi-Sicily).
