AB There is potential for expanding lentil cultivation to dry and warm Mediterranean rain-fedenvironments at low altitudes, where early sowings are recommended to profit from winter rains andescape drought and excessive heat at the grain filling stage. In cooler areas, frost might be a problemin the early sowings, however, in warmer areas such as our low altitude warm southern Spanishenvironments the most detrimental factor on lentil seed yield appeared to be high temperaturesat grain-filling stage, particularly heat waves of more than 5 days with Tmax > 30 ◦C. This wasfollowed by broomrape infection, the combination of both being dramatic. We detected variationfor stress tolerance, with S17 and R7 accessions outstanding for all stress indexes used, followed byS23, Nsir, S6, and S12. Broomrape infection ranked second risk in the area. No complete resistanceto broomrape was identified, but there was a significant variation in the level of infection, withaccessions S14 and R17 being the more resistant across environments. This offers prospects forcombining heat tolerance and broomrape resistance by breeding
