Adapting wheat cultivars to resource conserving farming practices and human nutritional needs (2005, background): “Synthetic wheat has been identified with signifi cantly higher levels of grain Fe and Zn (Calderini & Ortiz-Monasterio, 2003a) and improved Zn effi ciency (Cakmak et al., 1999).”
Mechanism of Zinc absorption in plants: uptake, transport, translocation and accumulation (2016, background): “Synthetic wheats derived from Aegilops tauschii exhibits genetic potential to increase grain Zn concentration of cultivated wheat (Calderini and Ortiz-Monasterio 2003).”
