Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a leading cereal crop worldwide. Understanding the mechanism of calcium (Ca) accumulation in wheat is important to reduce the risk of human micronutrient deficiencies. However, the mechanisms of Ca accumulation in wheat grain are only partly understood. RESULTS: Here, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to dissect the genetic basis of Ca...
