“…The grain/spike weight ratio was lower in spelt breeding lines than in bread wheat, and it was characterized by a low variation. In the F5 breeding lines, the grain/spike weight ratio ranged from 65.9% to 74.5% with an average of 70.8%, and it was similar to that determined by other authors [18,[57][58][59][60][61].…”

“…Spring cultivars of spelt (CDC Nexon, CDC Origin, CDC Zorba, CDC Silex) registered in 2002-2013 are grown in Canada [56]. The yield of spring spelt cultivars in Eastern Canada was analyzed by Dorval et al [57]. The average yield of spring spelt spikelets/dehulled kernels in three locations was determined at 4052/2705 kg ha −1 (CDC Origin), 3850/2788 kg ha −1 (CDC Silex), 3705/2715 kg ha −1 (CDC Zorba), and 3200/2504 kg ha −1 (CDC Nexon).…”

This study evaluated F5 breeding lines, which were obtained by crossing five parents of spring spelt from different geographical regions characterized by various morphological and performance traits. A total of 11 quantitative traits were analyzed, including six traits relating to yield components, four traits relating to grain quality, and one trait relating to plant height and sensitivity to lodging. The applied clustering method supported the identification of four groups of breeding lines which were presented graphically in a heatmap with dendrogram. Group I contained 33.0% of the breeding lines, and it was most distant from the remaining groups. It was composed of tall plants characterized by high values of yield components, high fat content, and high sensitivity to lodging. Groups III (30.4%) and IV (17.0%) were most similar and were characterized by lower values of yield components, a high content of protein, ash and fiber, and lower sensitivity to lodging. Group II contained 19.6% of the breeding lines, and it was more similar to groups III and IV than group I. Breeding lines with satisfactory performance traits can be selected from each group and used to breed new varieties with the desired traits.

“…Wirtas, a spelt variety developed by Polish breeders from the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, was the first spring variety of spelt to be registered in the European Union, in 2015 (European Union 2015; Research Center for Cultivar Testing 2015; Wiwart et al 2016). There are only four other spring varieties of spelt, which were developed in Canada (Dorval et al 2015). Similarly to common wheat ( T. aestivum L.), winter spelt is characterized by higher and more stable yields than spring spelt.…”

Quality Parameters and Rheological Dough Properties of 15 Spelt (Triticum spelta L.) Varieties Cultivated Today

et al. 2017

Spelt grain has high nutritional value, but the rheological properties of dough made from spelt flour remain insufficiently investigated. Most studies have focused on comparing various breeding lines and accessions of spelt with selected conventional varieties. The aim of this study was to analyze the rheological properties of dough made from the flour of 14 winter and one spring spelt varieties cultivated today compared with two reference varieties of common wheat. The analyses were performed by the Mixolab test. In comparison with common wheat, spelt varieties were characterized by significantly lower values of the gluten index (16–42 versus 87%), Zeleny index (23–28 versus 46 cm3), and kernel vitreousness (5–35 versus 51%). Doughs produced from spelt and common wheat flour differed significantly it their rheological properties. Mixolab profiles demonstrated significant variations in the values of the retrogradation index (2–8), amylase index (1–8), water absorption index (0–6), and gluten+ index (1–7) across the tested spelt varieties. Principal component analysis revealed that all six Mixolab indicators strongly discriminated wheat and spelt varieties. The results clearly indicate that some modern varieties of spelt have high breadmaking potential. They are also characterized by relatively high variation in the analyzed technological properties of grain and flour.

“…The yield of spring spelt cultivars in eastern Canada was recently analyzed by Dorval et al (2015). Among the four cultivars grown at three test sites, CDC Origin was characterized by the highest hulled grain yield (4052.0 kg ha −1 ) whereas CDC Nexon produced the lowest yield (3199.7 kg ha −1 ).…”

“…Four spring cultivars of T. spelta have been developed and registered in Canada, including three cultivars with a regional registration status ('CDC Nexon' registered in 2002, 'CDC Zorba' registered in 2007, and 'CDC Silex' registered in 2013 and one cultivar with a national registration status (CDC 'Origin' registered in 2010). All spring cultivars were developed by the University of Saskatchewan (Canadian Food Inspection Agency, 2016).…”

‘Wirtas’ is a spring spelt (Triticum spelta L.) (Reg. No. CV‐1118, PI 677227) cultivar developed at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland. In 2012, the cultivar was tested in pre‐registration experiments and in 2013 to 2014 in experiments required for cultivar registration in Poland. In 2015, Wirtas was placed on the Polish National List of Agricultural Plant Varieties. In 2015, it was submitted for testing to the Community Plant Variety Office to obtain Community Plant Cultivar Right to the cultivar throughout the European Union, and it was entered into the Common Catalogue of Varieties of Agricultural Plant Species. Wirtas was bred by selection from accession PL 21803 of Triticum spelta var. coeruleum from the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources of the Polish Genebank in Radzików. In pre‐registration experiments, Wirtas produced an average spikelet yield of 5.45 t ha−1, which was lower by 16.3% than the grain yield of the reference wheat (T. aestivum L.) cultivar Hewilla. In registration experiments, the spikelet yield of Wirtas was significantly lower than the grain yield of the reference wheat cultivar Tybalt, by 23.6% and 16.2% at 50 and 100 kg N ha−1, respectively. Despite the above, Wirtas's significant resistance to the most dangerous fungal pathogens combined with high grain quality (high protein content, high falling number and sedimentation index) could turn breeders’ attention to Wirtas, particularly in organic farming systems.
