Spelt () is part of the so-called ancient wheats. These types of wheats are experiencing a revival as they have been proposed to be healthier than conventional wheat. However, the given healthier condition of spelt is not substantiated by solid scientific evidence. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic variability for several grain components, related to nutritional quality (arabinoxylans, micronutrients, phytic acid) in a set of spelt and common wheat genotypes to determinate if spelt is potentially healthier than common wheat. The results obtained indicated that within the compared species, there is a significant variation in the nutritional compounds, and it is not truthful and accurate to state that one species is healthier than the other. Within both groups, genotypes showing outstanding values for some traits were detected, which could be used in breeding programs to develop new wheat cultivars with good agronomic performance and nutritional quality.
斯佩尔特(Spelt)是所谓的古代小麦的一部分。这些类型的小麦正在复兴,因为它们被认为比传统小麦更健康。然而,斯佩尔特的所谓更健康的状况并没有得到确凿的科学证据的支持。本研究的目的是分析一组斯佩尔特和普通小麦基因型的几种与营养质量(阿拉伯木聚糖、微量营养素、植酸)相关的谷物成分的遗传变异性,以确定斯佩尔特是否比普通小麦更健康。结果表明,在所比较的物种中,营养化合物存在显著差异,因此说一个物种比另一个更健康是不真实和不准确的。在这两个组中,都检测到了一些性状表现出色的基因型,这些基因型可以用于育种计划,以开发具有良好农艺性能和营养质量的新型小麦品种。
