A durum wheat panel of 271 genotypes was characterized for grain quality traits under optimal and heat-stress conditions. Genotypes with positive increases in quality traits under heat-stress conditions were identified. All Glu-1, Glu-2 and Glu-3 locus had significant effects on quality traits, except Glu-B2 for grain protein content. None of the Glu loci interacted with the environment or years under study. Glu-1, Glu-2 and Glu-3 loci associated with positive effects on quality traits are reported.
