Popis: The formation of soluble phenolic compounds, including flavonols, was studied in winter (Erythrospermum , Lutescens 230, and R 47-28) and spring cultivars (Lada) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The contents of soluble phenolic compounds and flavonols were 1.8–2.6 and 0.5–1.3 mg/g fresh weight, respectively. These results illustrate the similarity of phenol metabolism in leaves of winter and spring wheat cultivars. The exception was the cultivar R 47-28 that accumulated the maximum amount of phenolic compounds (e.g., flavonols). In this cultivar the ratio of flavonols reached 50% of total soluble phenol content. In other cultivars, this parameter did not exceed 25–35%. The data indicate that the cultivar R 47-28 differs from other wheat cultivars in metabolism of phenolic compounds. The observed differences are probably related to genetic modifications of the cultivar R 47-28 during selection.
