Summary (En) N2 - A recently developed crop growth model (ACROM) was used to test some hypotheses for the identification of wheat ideotypes in semi-arid lands. The model functioning and then the test of some ideotypes in wheat plan are summarized. These are early vegetative growth, low LAI; root depth; root/shoot ratio; stomatal sensitivity; and hydraulic root resistance. For each of these studies, the results of model runs and attempt suggestions for future wheat breeding programmes are discussed T2 - Srivastava, J.P.; Acevedo,-E.; Varma,-S.
