- Intervention effect The highest watering regime delayed Tiller 1 appearance in both Triticum species.
- Intervention effect The highest watering regime suppressed Tiller 2 in durum.
- Intervention effect The driest treatment suppressed most tillers.
- Intervention effect The driest treatment delayed the tillers that emerged.
- Observation Durum tillers required more heat units for successive leaves than the main stem.
- Mechanism Durum tiller leaf heat-unit requirements rose with water stress, causing high tiller abortion.
- Observation In aestivum, tiller leaves developed at the same rate as on the main stem.
- Intervention effect Water stress did not affect phyllochron of aestivum tillers or main stems.
- Observation Aestivum tillers contributed more to yield than durum tillers in every treatment.
- Mechanism The authors infer that early tiller and leaf appearance under water stress improves tiller survival and yield contribution.
- Recommendation The authors recommend tiller dynamics under water stress as a selection criterion for drought tolerance breeding.
