Abstract excerpt
As an essential microelement, copper plays a crucial role in the human body. However, the grains of bread wheat, a major crop food, contain a low copper content. Here, a diversity panel of 443 wheat accessions cultivated in four environments was used to analyse grain copper content by ICAP-7000, and the genetic variation in grain copper content was examined using a 660 K single nucleotide polymorphism chip....
