Are synthetic hexaploids a means of increasing grain element concentrations in wheat?
In a world where there is arguably enough food produced and many gains have been made in increasing wheat production, Calderini and Ortiz-Monasterio have evaluated wheat varieties for their suitability for breeding to increase essential micronutrients. Specifically the research examines parameters s...
