Wheat DNA opens a new door to agricultural productivity

Researchers discovered two genomic regions that increase wheat yield by up to 5%. This finding promises to transform cereal production Wheat, a food base for millions, faces the challenge of increasing its productivity in a sustainable way. In response to this demand, a team from INTA Pergamino managed to identify key regions of the crop's DNA that optimize its yield. These genomic areas, known as QTL, have an impact on the reproductive efficien…
