Screening of wheat germplasm and developing climate-resilient wheat cultivars are crucial to ensure the growing food demand of the global population. This study was designed to evaluate nine advanced wheat lines for yield-related attributes and screen out the best-performing lines suitable for the agro-climatic conditions of Dera Ismail Khan. Nine wheat accessions, along with the check cultivar AZRC Dera, were investigated in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications at Arid Zone Research Institute (AZRI), D. I. Khan, Pakistan. Data collected for days 50% heading, days to maturity, flag leaf area, no of tillers plant-1, spike length, plant height, no of spikelet spike-1, peduncle length, no of grains spike -1, 1000-grains weight, grain yield plant -1 and spike density was subjected to Statistix v.8.1. All the characters showed highly considerable variations among genotypes (p<0.01). The analysis of coefficient variation revealed high magnitude for no. of grains spike-1, grain yield plant-1, 1000-grains weight, spike length, and spike density. High heritability was noticed for days to 50% heading, maturity, flag leaf area, no. of tillers per plant-1, peduncle length and spike traits. Positive associationwas observed for flag leaf area, spike length, no. of tillers plant -1, days to maturity, peduncle length, no of spikelet spike-1, 1000 kernels weight and no. of kernels spike - 1 . Based on the mean performance of wheat genotypes under study, accession G4 showed maximum performance for most of the parameters and is recommended for further breeding purposes.
