Summary
A brief historical background explains why Sicilian wheat germplasm has to be preserved. A catalogue of 32 cultivars collected throughout Sicily in 1973 is presented. Each cultivar is geographically and botanically identified. The presence of variability is discussed for several spike characters. The material is available for distribution.
Zusammenfassung
Vor dem historischen Hintergrund wird die Notwendigkeit der Erhaltung der sizilianischen Ressourcen des Weizens erklärt. Ein Katalog enthält 32 Sorten, die 1973 in ganz Sizilien gesammelt wurden. Jede Sorte wird geographisch und botanisch eingeordnet. Die Variabilität mehrerer Ährenmerkmale wird diskutiert. Das Saatgut kann an Interessenten abgegeben werden.
