N2  - Five durum wheat genotypes of exotic origin performed consistently well for three seasons in Eastern Sicily. Their morpho-physiological features were compared with those of the whole germplasm collection examined and of Simeto, a variety particularly adapted to the environment of evaluation. Different plant architectures in the five genotypes attained similar good and stable yields. Although comparable with Simeto for yield levels, the five lines were remarkably different from it for other traits. Widening the existing, the rather narrow genetic basis of the Italian varieties by introgressing the variation associated with selected alien germplasm could be envisaged
