Abstract :This study aimed to evaluate the performance of some bread wheat varieties in different environments, and to reveal the relationships between some physiological parameters and yield and yield components. Three bread wheat varieties, (Namely, Basribey 95, Alibey, and Kaşifbey 95), were used as plant materials. Field experiments were conducted during the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 growing seasons in Aydın and Menemen locations. The experimental layout was a RCBD with three replications at each location and year. In the study, canopy temperature depression (CTD), chlorophyll content (CC), stomatal conductance (SC), grain yield (GY), plant height (PH), spike number per square meter (S/m2), thousand kernel weight (TKW), test weight (TW), grain number per spike (G/S), single spike yield (SSY), number of days to heading (DHE), were examined. CTD in ZGS 65 had a decisive role in gaining high grain yield. Also, CC in ZGS 65 and ZGS 71 might be defined as an important physiological traits. On the other hand, the contribution of the SC parameter determined in ZGS 55, ZGS 65 and ZGS 71 to the yield depends on the environment. Those parameters could be selection criteria for high-yield wheat breeding due to positive and significant correlations with grain yield. And also SC and CC parameters might be used in yield estimation on wheat.
