| Abstract | ||
| In the lab study, seeds of 18 wheat genotypes were tested for their concentrations and contents of Fe and Zn to determine the seed quality . The iron concentrations in the seed of the 18 wheat genotypes ranged between 20.5 to 65.4 mg kg-1 dry weight basis. Only the seed of Saef and Bohuth/6 genotypes had Fe concentration more than 57 mg Kg-1 and fulfill quality standard set by WHO, 2006, were as six of seed genotypes had more than 41mg Zn Kg-1 namely Saef, Karoniah, Zebba/5, Abo-Ghraib, Sham/3 and Pash/29. The results also showed that for the two genotypes with the highest Fe concentration, only Saef was the genotype that had higher Zn concentration more than 41 mg Zn Kg-1 the quality standard. In contrast to Zn , the variation for seed Fe content was not greater than variation found for the concentration. | ||
