Abstract

Spelt (Triticum spelta L.) is hulled wheat which was widely cultivated in Spain until the first half of the 20th century and is still cultivated in Asturias (northern Spain). Much of the variability of this species has been preserved, but little evaluation has been carried out. We describe the characterization of some of these spelt lines for several quantitative traits, including plant height and awnedness.
