What is it about?
The present paper studied the performance of the stable isotope signatures of carbon (δ 13C), nitrogen (δ 15N) and oxygen (δ 18O) in plants when used to assess early vigour and grain yield (GY) in durum wheat growing under mild and moderate Mediterranean stress conditions.

Why is it important?
Despite the known and previously described value of δ 13C as a tool in breeding, δ 15N is confirmed as an additional tool in the present study. Oxygen isotope composition does not seem to offer any potential, at least under the conditions of the present study.
