Biofortification strategies to increase grain zinc and iron concentrations in wheat (2014, unknown): “Germplasm screening of wheat and its wild relatives has revealed substantial genetic variation for grain Fe and Zn concentrations (Cakmak et al., 2000).”
Evaluation and utilization of Aegilops and wild Triticum species for enhancing iron and zinc content in wheat (2009, background): “Husn. cultivars have lower grain iron and zinc content than the related wild Triticum and Aegilops species (Chhuneja et al. 2006; Cakmak et al. 2000; Monasterio and Graham 2000).”
Wheat genetic resources enhancement by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) (2008, background): “The best sources of these micronutrients are wild species that do not cross easily with modern wheats (Cakmak et al. 2000).”
New hypotheses for the health-protective mechanisms of whole-grain cereals: what is beyond fibre? (2010, background): “The genetic approach((425)) using conventional tools (indirect action on genes) such as cross-breeding and hybridisation to combine varieties high in some bioactive compounds, for example, Zn, Fe and pro-vitamin A((426,427)), and/or low in others, for example, phytic acid((428,429)), and non-convent”
Genetic variation and environmental stability of grain mineral nutrient concentrations in Triticum dicoccoides under five environments (2009, unknown): “…primitive wheat, such as Triticum monococum (einkorn wheat), Triticum dicoccon (emmer wheat) and Triticum dicoccoides (wild emmer wheat) are promising genetic resources for improving gain Zn and Fe concentrations (Cakmak et al. 1999, 2000, 2004; Ortiz-Monasterio and Graham 2000; Peleg et al. 2008).”
Does increased zinc uptake enhance grain zinc mass concentration in rice (2008, unknown): “Considerable efforts are undertaken to reach this goal through breeding (Graham et al., 1999; Cakmak et al., 2000; Toenniessen 2002; Vasconcelos et al., 2003), but understanding of the underlying processes is still partly lacking and would facilitate such breeding programmes (Clemens et al.”
Wild emmer: genetic resources, gene mapping and potential for wheat improvement (2008, background): “…1986b; Nevo and Payne 1987; Pagnotta et al. 1995; Xu et al. 2004; Uauy et al. 2006b; Qi et al. 2006; Li et al. 2007); (4) micronutrient contents (Cakmak et al. 2000, 2004); (5) abiotic stress tolerances including salt, drought, and heat (Nevo et al. 1992, 1993; Khanna-Chopra and Viswanathan…”
Triticum dicoccoides: An important genetic resource for increasing zinc and iron concentration in modern cultivated wheat (2004, background): “Among wild wheat germplasm, the emmer wheat, Triticum dicoccoides, showed the largest variation and the highest concentration of micronutrients, especially for Zn, and is considered to be one of the most promising donors to improve Zn and Fe concentrations of wheat seeds (Cakmak et al. 2000).”
Breeding crops for reduced-tillage management in the intensive, rice–wheat systems of South Asia (2006, background): “…traits, were investigated in soybean (Weiss 1943; Fehr 1982; Saxena and Chandel 1992), tomato (Epstein 1972), celery (Epstein 1972), rye (Graham 1984), wheat (Majumdar et al. 1990; Rengel 1992; Graham et al. 1992; Khabaz-Saberi et al. 1998; Cakmak et al. 2000), and barley (Graham 1988b; Genc 2003).”
Are synthetic hexaploids a means of increasing grain element concentrations in wheat? (2003, background): “This study confirms previous works (Villareal et al., 1994) where it was shown that synthetic hexaploids could reach similar grain yields than wheat cultivars (see S1, Table 1), and higher element concentration in grains (Cakmak et al., 2000; OrtizMonasterio & Graham, 2000).”
HarvestPlus: Breeding Crops for Better Nutrition (2007, background): “Because micronutrient concentration is generally determined on whole grain, concentration levels in shriveled seed can be overestimated (Cakmak et al., 2000; Imtiaz et al., 2003).”
Iron transport, deposition and bioavailability in the wheat and barley grain (2009, background): “Thus, the concentration of iron in the seeds of twenty Triticum durum and forty T. aestivum species grown in Turkey and Israel ranged from 10–50 mg/kg and from 24–51 mg/kg respectively (Cakmak et al. 2000; Peleg et al. 2008).”
