Plant and Soil, Vol. 208, No. 2 (1999), pp. 243-250 (8 pages) Cd accumulation in durum wheat presents a potential health risk to consumers. In an effort to understand the physiological mechanisms ...

Scientists identify genes affecting root length that could make it easier to breed drought-resistant wheat. Wheat is a key crop for ensuring global food security, but drought associated with climate ...

Plant and Soil, Vol. 201, No. 2 (April (II) 1998), pp. 265-273 (9 pages) Root growth and soil water content were measured in a field experiment with wheat subjected to two periods of water deficit.

Growing wheat in drought conditions may be easier in the future. Researchers found the right number of copies of a specific group of genes can stimulate longer root growth, enabling wheat plants to ...
