Impact of foliar application of iron and zinc fertilizers on grain iron, zinc, and protein contents in bread wheat ( L.).

Introduction: Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), are prevalent in a large part of the human population across the world, especially in children below 5 years of age and pregnant women in developing countries. Since wheat constitutes a significant proportion of the human diet, improving grain Fe and Zn content in wheat has become important in improving human health.

Objective: This study aimed to quantify the effect of foliar application of iron sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO.

Comparative physiological, biochemical and transcriptomic analysis of hexaploid wheat (T. aestivum L.) roots and shoots identifies potential pathways and their molecular regulatory network during Fe and Zn starvation.

The combined effect of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) starvation on their uptake and transportation and the molecular regulatory networks is poorly understood in wheat. To fill this gap, we performed a comprehensive physiological, biochemical and transcriptome analysis in two bread wheat genotypes, i.e.

Transcriptomic dataset reveals the molecular basis of genotypic variation in hexaploid wheat ( L.) in response to Fe/Zn deficiency.

The datasets depicted in the paper are related to the original article entitled "Identifying transcripts associated with efficient transport and accumulation of Fe and Zn in hexaploid wheat ( L.)" [1]. Four wheat genotypes Sonora 64, CRP 1660, Vinata, and DBW 17 were selected for RNA sequencing using Illumina HiSeq4000 platform.

Wheat (T. aestivum L.) is the second most important staple food crop consumed in the form of various end-use products across the world.
