Beirut, Lebanon: International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA).https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11766/9619The purpose of the current study was to appraise desirable associations between allele frequencies and environmental variables for a set of North African durum wheat landraces using latent factor mixed models. Speci cally: To examine the correlation, covariance and variance structure of the data. To assess probable confounding e ects which could impact results interpretation. To assay the association between allele frequencies and environmental variables after correction of latent factors.PDFCC-BY-NC-4.0latent factor mixed modelThesisOpen access
