Improving wheat grain composition for human health by constructing a QTL atlas for essential minerals
P. P. Sigalas, P. R. Shewry, et al.
This groundbreaking study identifies 23 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for essential minerals in wheat grain, utilizing three biparental populations. The discovery of the ATPase transporter gene responsible for the strongest QTL on chromosome 5A for calcium is pivotal for enhancing grain nutritional quality. This research was conducted by a team of experts including Petros P. Sigalas and Peter R. Shewry.
