Abstract The evaluation of genetic diversity in a gene pool contributes to the effective selection of genotypes and truncates the breeding time. In the present study, 96 durum wheat genotypes were evaluated for (1) genotypic diversity using two DNA marker systems: CAAT box-derived polymorphism (CBDP) and inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers and (2) phenotypic diversity using several drought-adaptive traits under rainfed conditions for two cropping seasons. Our results revealed that the ISSR primers produced 99 bands across the genotypes, the average of which was 6 fragments per primer, whereas CBDP primers generated 70 polymorphic bands, with an average of 5.3 fragments per primer. The values of marker index (MI) and polymorphism information content (PIC) indicated that CBDP markers were more efficient than ISSR markers for detection of genetic diversity in durum wheat. The average of PIC values for the CBDP and ISSR markers were 0.40 and 0.23, respectively. Based on the values of Shannon index (I) ICARDA population had a higher than CIMMYT population and the heterozygosis values confirmed these results. Dendrogram was created with a neighbor-joining clustering method. The studied genotypes were divided into five and seven groups based on data from the CBDP and ISSR markers, respectively, which was supported by principal coordinate analyses. The results of genotype by trait biplot analysis showed different patterns of interaction accessions and traits across years. High level of diversity among the studied accessions based on each studies trait was observed. Keywords  Durum wheat · ISSR · CBDP · Genetic diversity · Phenotypic diversity

Introduction Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum) is the second-most cultivated species of wheat after common wheat. Durum wheat is a tetraploid wheat, which mainly used to make pasta. While it is originated in the Eastern Mediterranean, because of its great ability and capacity to Electronic supplementary material  The online version of this article (https​://doi.org/10.1007/s4297​6-020-00073​-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. * A.
