B-SWheat

BSWheat overview

The B-SWheat project aims at identifying genetic markers and ecophysiological traits in durum and bread wheat in order that breeders could produce cultivars that accumulate less harmful trace elements (TEs) (As, Cd, Pb, Ni), without impacting the the yield, the grain micronutrient content (Fe, Zn) and the digestive bioaccessibility of the latter.
