Abstract
Variability in some physicochemical characteristics of 22 durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) cultivars was investigated. The experiments were carried out under rainfed conditions at an arid (Jordan University of Science and Technology [JUST]) and a semiarid (Maru) location in northern Jordan. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences among the cultivars for each characteristic. Location X cultivar interaction was significant for all characteristics except for SDS-SED. Results showed that the semiarid growing location (Maru) proved to be favorable for production of durum wheat higher in gluten, amylose, amylopectin, and milling yield.
