TL;DR: It is clear that improvement of fibre quality can be achieved by adding traits via transformation; such methods have the potential to significantly improve the agricultural and textile industries of Pakistan.
Biochemical and morphological risk assessment of transgenic wheat with enhanced iron and zinc bioaccessibility
TL;DR: Phytase transgenic wheat is as native as local wheat varieties and can potentially increase iron and zinc bioaccessibility, which correlated with a significant decrease in phytic acid.
