Biofortification strategies to increase grain zinc and iron concentrations in wheat (2014, background): “The QTLs identified from these studies will facilitate better understanding of the genetic basis of grain Zn, Fe, and themolecular markers closely linked to the QTLs can be used in large scale marker assisted breeding (Xu et al., 2012).”
A review of zinc nutrition and plant breeding. (2013, background): “Molecular markers for micronutrient efficiency (e.g., Mn and Zn) have been identified in barley (Pallotta et al., 2000; Lonergan et al., 2001; Sadeghzadeh, 2008; Sadeghzadeh et al., 2009), bread wheat (Xu et al., 2012), durum wheat (Khabaz-Saberi et al., 2002) and maize (Qin et al., 2012).”
QTL mapping for grain zinc and iron concentrations and zinc efficiency in a tetraploid and hexaploid wheat mapping populations (2017, background): “The recovery of higher concentration of GZn and GFe within the RILs was due to transgressive segregation suggesting that both parents carried a few different genes with alleles contributing to increased Zn and Fe concentration (Ozkan et al. 2007; Xu et al. 2012).”
