Резюме: The National collection of genus Triticum maintained in the National genebank (IPGR, Sadovo) is offering opportunities for multilateral use. That is based on existing genetic diversity: local populations, breeding materials and wild species originating from the country as well of all over the world. Primitive wheat knows also as ‘ancient’ wheat (eincorn, emmer and spelta) today are the base product of organic agriculture because of increased interest in seeking for non-conventional foods and crops with low inputs.
The aim of present study is to present the actual information about the status of Triticum collection maintained in the Na¬tional genebank of IPGR Sadovo for further utilization by breeders and farmers.
