Cadmium (Cd) is as an extremely toxic metal that can contaminate agricultural soils. To reduce the risk of Cd intake in food cereals, the development of cultivars with low grain Cd concentration (GCC) is an effective countermeasure. We analyzed quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for GCC in a doubled haploid (DH) common wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) population derived from 'Chugoku 165' (low GCC) × 'Chukei 10-22' (high GCC). We found novel loci for low GCC on the short arm of chromosome 4B and ...[more]
