Summary

Theories on the origin and dissemination of spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta) are evaluated. Recent information on resistance to yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici) and variation for gliadin patterns in spelt wheat accessions originating from Iran and Europe is superimposed on literature reports concerning the origin, status and dissemination of spelt wheat. The data support the theory on the origin of spelt wheat in the Near East. An alternative European site of origin, albeit improbable, cannot be excluded.
