Variation in grain Zn concentration, and the grain ionome, in field-grown Indian wheat (2018)
Journal Article
Khokhar, J. S., Sareen, S., Tyagi, B. S., Singh, G., Wilson, L., King, I. P., Young, S. D., & Broadley, M. R. (2018). Variation in grain Zn concentration, and the grain ionome, in field-grown Indian wheat. PLoS ONE, 13(1), Article e0192026. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0192026

Wheat is an important dietary source of zinc (Zn) and other mineral elements in many countries. Dietary Zn deficiency is widespread, especially in developing countries, and breeding (genetic biofortification) through the HarvestPlus programme has rec...

Background

Mineral nutrient uptake and utilisation by plants are controlled by many traits relating to root morphology, ion transport, sequestration and translocation. The aims of this study were to determine the phenotypic diversity in root morph...
