An international group of scientists, led by Rothamsted Research and the John Innes Centre, has opened its door to healthier wheat varieties, after pinpointing genes responsible for the dietary fibre content of flour.

Independent trials have shown more than £70/hectare can be saved on fertiliser costs for virtually the same wheat yield by using solid ammonium nitrate rather than nitrogen in a liquid format.
