Relaunching a Traditional Durum Wheat Product: New Cultivars and Introgression Lines Identified for Frike Making in Turkey.

ABSTRACT: Frike is an ancient and traditional food product prepared from early harvested whole wheat grain, particularly durum wheat (DW). Due to its many health beneficial effects, frike is considered a functional food. It is also a lucrative commodity, produced in various West Asian and North African countries and typically in Southeastern Turkey. However, no systematic assessment of the most-suitable genotypes for frike production in the region is available. This study aimed to carry out such an evaluation, based on frike yield, quality traits, marketing price, and profitability, on a set of 20 DW cultivars and DW-Thinopyrum ponticum introgression lines (ILs). The results based on a field trial performed in Gölbaşı (Adıyaman, Turkey) in the 2021-2022 season revealed the Turkish varieties T
