A mapping review to identify breeder‐friendly quantitative trait loci/gene clusters for wheat biofortification
Genetic biofortification of wheat grain to increase iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) content is a cost‐effective method to reduce mineral deficiency in human diets. Breeding for increased Fe and Zn can benefit from marker‐assisted selection for high‐confidence quantitative trait loci (QTLs) or genes affecting the traits. We c...
