“…The revival of those ancient species is related primarily to the growing consumer demand for nutritious and healthy food products, with specific nutritional and taste values (De Vita et al, 2006;Konvalina et al, 2010;Suchowilska et al, 2012). Apart from that, compared to common wheat, those husked wheat species usually have lower requirements as concerns cultivation technology and soil and climate conditions, as well as a considerable competitive ability against weeds, which indicates their potential for cultivation in extensive farming conditions, typical of organic farms, or for low-investment conventional farms (Cyrkler-Degulis, Bulińska-Radomska, 2006;Kohajdová, Karovičová, 2008;Pagnotta et al, 2009;Konvalina et al, 2012).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different levels of production technology intensity on grain quality of four species of spring wheat: common wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. aestivum L.), durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.), spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta [L.] Thell) and dicoccum wheat (Triticum dicoccum [Schrank] Schübler). Two levels of production technology intensity were applied in the experiment: medium mineral fertilisation (N -70, P -30.5 and K -99.6 kg ha -1 ), seed priming and weed control; high mineral fertilisation (N -140, P -30.5 and K -99.6 kg ha -1 ), seed priming, weed control, two treatments against diseases, insecticide and growth regulator. Tested wheat grains were collected from the crop years 2011-2013. To assess the baking quality of tested wholegrain flour, gluten quantity and quality, falling number and Mixolab parameters were determined. Rheological properties of wholegrain wheat dough were affected mostly by wheat species and crop year. Among the analysed species, spelt wheat was characterised by the highest wet gluten content, amylolytic activity (C4) and starch retrogradation (C5). Dicoccum wheat was characterised by the lowest gluten content and the lowest resistance time of dough (T1) and stability. Dicoccum wheat had also the highest protein weakening (the lowest Cs and C2). Crop year had a significant effect on starch gelatinisation (C3), amylolytic activity (C4), retrogradation (C5) and gelatinisation time (T3-T2). Wheat cultivated under high level of production technology intensity was characterised by higher gluten content and lower final temperature of starch gelatinisation (D3).

“…The traits recorded are very important for clustering wheat genetic resources which are essential and helpful for the breeders seeking to improve the existing germplasm by introducing novel genetic variation for certain traits into the breeding populations (Salem et al, 2008;Pagnotta et al, 2009;Zarkti et al, 2010).…”

Genetic resources are the valuable natural resources and national wealth in each country. The wild relatives of wheat, especially diploid species have useful traits for the wheat breeding. To study the genetic variation of wild einkorn wheat (Triticum boeoticum Boiss.) populations based on the morphological, agronomical and phenological traits, an experiment was conducted on 252 collected samples from central Zagros Mountains with six cultivars as controls in Research Farm of Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran during 2013-2014. The seeds of the samples and control cultivars were sown based on an augmented randomized complete block design in seven replicates. According to the analysis of variance, there was high variation among the samples. The population G collected from Kamyaran location showed higher amounts than average for the spike length, peduncle length, plant height and thousand kernel weight. The results of correlation showed that a thousand kernel weight had a highly significant positive correlation with the peduncle length, the plant height and the awn length. The cluster analysis classified the accessions and controls in five groups with distinct properties. The classification of the accessions using cluster analysis did not match with their geographical distribution. The accessions in the first group had the short kernel filling period; the accessions in the second group were late-maturing ones, the accessions in the third one had the highest peduncle length and plant height, the genotypes in the fourth group had early-maturing accessions with the lowest plant height and peduncle length and finally the accessions in the last group had the lowest number of kernels per spike and spike length.

Established camelina crop before passing into the maturity stage (June 2016) in Greece (Agricultural University of Athens) (Kobilakou, 2017) threshing wheats led to the decline of emmer cultivation in mountain regions and small areas of Mediterranean basin (Italy, Spain), Ethiopia, Iran, Transcaucasia, Central Europe, India and the Volga Basin (Marino et al, 2009;Pagnotta et al, 2009;Zaharieva et al, 2010). Nowadays, emmer accounts for 1% of the total world area cultivated with wheats.…”

Climate change is the greatest environmental threat facing humanity worldwide. Areas of South-East Europe and Mediterranean basin are expected to be among the most vulnerable countries to climate change. As a result of climate change, new species and crops have been introduced and may be introduced in the coming years. In addition, FAO considers that Organic Agriculture is an effective mitigation strategy to climate change and can build robust soils that adapt better to weather extremes associated with climate change. This review provides an overview of the growth performance of new innovative crops, including chia, camelina, quinoa, teff and nigella and retrovative crops such as flax and emmer wheat, based on experimental investigations conducted under Mediterranean conditions and organic cropping system. Several studies, performed under organic system, have proved that innovative crops can also be grown for alternative uses. Quinoa and chia could be successfully used in animal feed. Moreover, quinoa could be exploited as a medicinal plant due to saponins extracted from seed coats. Nigella and camelina seeds contain oils which can have several uses in pharmaceutical and food industries. Flax seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and can be accepted in the diets designed for specific health benefits. According to the literature, it is observed that innovative crops cultivated under organic system present better quality and similar yields as with those cultivated under conventional system, and in some cases, even higher. Taking all these into account, organic agriculture could also be characterized as innovative and not only as traditional.
