Abstract The aim of the conducted research was a comparative analysis of samples created through hybridization Triticum aestivum L. × Triticum spelta L. in order to determine their breeding value and to identify promising genotypes that can serve as valuable starting material for the breeding process of developing highly productive wheat varieties. The research was carried out on the experimental plots of the Department of Genetics, Plant Breeding and Biotechnology of the Uman National University of Horticulture, located in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine under conditions of unstable moisture supply during 2023–2025. The objects of the study were constant, uniform samples (F5–7) of winter common wheat from the collection of the Department of Genetics, Plant Breeding and Biotechnology of the Uman National University of Horticulture, created by reciprocal crosses Triticum aestivum L. × Triticum spelta L. It was established that four studied samples significantly exceeded the group standard in grain weight per spike (1.36–1.38 g); three samples in yield (6.21–6.92 t/ha); seven samples significantly exceeded the average group standard in gluten content (32.3–36.4%) and protein content (15.0–17.3%); nine samples in sedimentation value (57–63 ml); ten samples in flour strength (315–347 a.u.); and nine samples in grain hardness (53.8–60.3 units). As a result of the conducted research, winter common wheat samples with high productivity indicators were identified that can serve as valuable starting material for wheat breeding improvement. In particular, samples 89 and 365 (plant height 75–80 cm, gluten content 33.8–34.6%) can be used as donors of dwarfing genes; samples 87 and 328 (yield 6.60–6.61 t/ha) are promising for breeding aimed at increasing productivity; and samples 92, 288 and 350 (gluten content 35.7–36.4%, protein content 16.4–16.7%, flour strength 334–347 a.u.) are valuable for breeding aimed at improving grain quality indicators.
