Restore precious genes from wild wheat
US and Israeli scientists have cloned a wild wheat gene called GPC-B1, which is thought to work to increase protein, iron and zinc in grains.
US and Israeli scientists have cloned a wild wheat gene called GPC-B1, which is thought to work to increase protein, iron and zinc in grains.
Researchers have determined that the GPC - B1 gene, which promotes wheat growth and increases 10-15% of protein and micronutrients in many wheat types. Of all wheat analyzed so far, no gene has the same function as GPC-B1. This gene is thought to have been lost during human domestication of wheat.
