Bill Fulkerson on 27 Nov 20Wheat is a staple food across all parts of the world and is one of the most widely grown and consumed crops7. As the human population continues to grow, Wheat production must increase by more than 50% over current levels by 2050 to meet demand7. Efforts to increase Wheat production may be aided by comprehensive genomic resources from global breeding programs to identify within-species allelic diversity and determine the best allele combinations to produce superior cultivars2,8.
