Mapping of wheat genomes reveals surprising variation in genes across the globe – Shepparton News
Scientists have been left surprised after sequencing the genomes of 16 wheat varieties.One of the world’s most cultivated and oldest crops, wheat is a genetically freakish plant with 10 times the amount of fertility genes compared to other cereal crops.
