Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource SCoT markers detected a greater level of polymorphism than ISSR markers among 10 Egyptian wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc application gave a 50% boost in grain production.
- Observation Grain zinc content reached 55 ppm under foliar zinc treatment.
- Observation Giza-168, Gemiza-7 and Gemiza-10 were bio-fortified with zinc.
- Recommendation Foliar ZnSO4 treatment may be a useful and cost-effective method for agricultural bio-fortification of wheat.
