The long distance transport of Fe and Zn in the phloem sap of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is
the key route for seed supply, due to wheat having a xylem discontinuity. To date, our …

In wheat, nutrients are transported to seeds via the phloem yet access to this vascular tissue
for exudate collection and quantitative analysis of elemental composition is difficult. The …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a mega‐staple for millions of the world's populations and its
yield potential is impacted by soil salinization. This study investigated genotypic variation in …
