Summary: The study showed that foliar application of EDTA, Se, and other elements can significantly reduce Cd concentration in wheat grains. Specifically, 2 mM EDTA and Se were found to be effective in controlling Cd accumulation in wheat grains, providing technical guidance for safe wheat production in low-Cd-contaminated soils.

Summary: This study found that wheat is more efficient in uptake and translocation of foliar-applied zinc compared to maize, regardless of the zinc supply level. Therefore, wheat has better agronomic biofortification potential than maize.

Summary: The application of foliar nitrogen in later stages of wheat growth has been found to be effective in reducing drought stress and improving grain filling. Different forms of nitrogen have varying effects on grain filling, with NH4+-N prolonging the filling period and CO(NH2)(2) and NO3--N accelerating the filling rate. Additionally, the application of nitrogen influences hormone levels and gene expression in wheat grains.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of different nitrogen fertilization and Zn-Se foliar application on grain yield, Fe, Zn, Se, Cd, and P concentrations in two winter wheat genotypes. It was found that foliar Zn-Se application had the strongest impact on total grain Fe, Zn, and Se concentrations, while genotype had the most substantial effect on Fe and Zn bioaccessibility. Further research on the genotype specificity of wheat regarding micronutrient bioaccessibility is recommended to improve human nutrition.

Summary: This study examined the response of wheat species with different ploidy levels to foliar application of zinc and iron under different water regimes. The research found that the combined application of zinc and iron significantly increased yield and alleviated yield reduction caused by water stress. Applying zinc and iron also increased micronutrient content in grains. Tetra and hexaploid species had higher yields and were less affected by water stress. All ploidy levels responded similarly to zinc and iron treatments.

Summary: The study found that foliar fertilization with zinc and manganese can reduce the uptake of Cs-137 by spring wheat and potato, but the effect was not significant in 2016. The increase in plant biomass may have led to the dilution effect of radionuclides.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of soil and foliar zinc application on wheat growth, nutrition, zinc use efficiency, and yield. The results showed that the combined application of soil and foliar zinc increased zinc concentration and accumulation in wheat, as well as dry matter and grain yield. Zinc use efficiency was highest with a moderate foliar nano zinc application.

Summary: The study investigated the behavior of different forms of zinc applied to wheat leaves and found that the form and amount of absorbed zinc affected its translocation within the plant. Foliar-applied zinc fertilizers can impact the absorption and translocation of zinc in wheat plants.

Summary: Foliar nitrogen application is an effective strategy for improving protein content and quality in wheat kernels. The specific effects of different forms of nitrogen are still unclear, but NO3 and urea have shown better results. Manipulating the source-sink relationship can optimize wheat protein accumulation and quality formation.
