Coming soon, the wheat revolution: DNA scientists pave the way for cheaper bread
British scientists have cracked the genetic code for wheat – paving the way for a new breed of crops resistant to disease. The experts will today share the map of the wheat genome online for free, allowing growers around the world to develop super strains of the crop. The development could also lead to massively increased production – and in turn lower bread prices.
