 Did you know that...

The primitive Japanese dwarf wheat variety, Norin 10, introduced intro America in 1946, had a key role in the genetic improvement of wheat during the so-called 'Green Revolution'. It was used as a donor of the genes that are responsible for dwarfism, which allow increased nitrogen uptake and therefore increased production in intensive farming systems.
