Four expeditions around the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic at the foothills of the Babek and Shakhbuz regions collected two spontaneous fertile wheat-rye hybrids (one spike of each), which phetotypically resembled emmer hybrids. The accessions were studied in rain-fed and irrigated conditions. Phenological observations were conducted; resistance to diseases and lodging was estimated; and components of the yield structure were investigated. The new accessions are of breeding value due to individual economic features: resistance to yellow, brown and stem rusts, a long spike with in increased grain number, high 1000-grain weight.
