“…Beteselassie et al (2007) evaluated seedlings of 41 emmer wheat accessions for their response to stem rust infection under greenhouse condition and selected 18 accessions as sources of resistance. Resistance to yellow rust has also been reported in 18 accessions of emmer wheat belonging to the ICARDA genebank collection (Damania and Srivastrava 1990). Reed (1916) identified the landrace 'Khapli', from India, as immune to powdery mildew, Blumeria graminis (DC.)…”

Cultivated emmer wheat, Triticum dicoccon Schrank, a tetraploid species with hulled grain, has been largely cultivated during seven millennia in the Middle-East, Central and West Asia, and Europe. It has been largely replaced by hulless species and is now a minor crop, with the exception of some countries like India, Ethiopia and Yemen, where its grain is used for preparing traditional foods. Nutritional qualities and specific taste and flavor of emmer wheat products have led to a recent development of the cultivation in some European countries. Emmer wheat also possesses valuable traits of resistance to pests and diseases and tolerance to abiotic stresses and is increasingly used as a reservoir of useful genes in wheat breeding. In the present article, a review concerning taxonomy, diversity and history of cultivation of emmer wheat is reported. Grain characteristics and valuable agronomic traits are described. Some successful examples of emmer wheat utilization for the development of durum or bread wheat cultivars are examined, and the perspectives in using emmer wheat as health food and for the development of new breeding germplasm are discussed.
