Mapping the
wheat genome
T

he Wheat Quality Council’s annual meeting in midFebruary in Kansas City, Missouri, U.S., used the 2012
mapping of the wheat genome as a jumping off place
to consider a wide range of topics relating to the future of
agricultural crops, such as what would be the characteristics
of an ideal kernel of wheat and what are the patent protections
for agricultural plants that may be bioengineered to meet the
world’s growing food demands.
Under discussion were a look at the hypothetical nutritional
characteristics of an ideal kernel of wheat and what the patent
protections are for edible plants that may be frequently bioengineered to meet the world’s growing food demands.
Judi Adams, president of the Wheat Foods Council, based
in Ridgeway, Colorado, U.S., talked about what additions to
the genetic code of wheat she would like to see. Her wish list
of hypothetical improvements included the reduction in the
amounts of glutenin and gliadin in wheat so that sufferers of
celiac disease might be able to consume wheat. She said the
likelihood of this ever occurring was slim, although she held
out hope that modiﬁcations in the wheat kernel may make
those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity able to consume bread
products such as sourdough.
She added that the perfect wheat would have all the amino
acids necessary to form a complete protein, which she said
would help out export markets because much of the world
needed more complete protein in their diets.

Wheat Quality Council speakers
tackle plant gene innovations
Higher ﬁber, increased folate, more vitamin A, more iron of
the type found in animal sources and higher vitamin D would
round out her recipe for bioengineered wheat that would beneﬁt consumers all over the world.
The meeting’s keynote speaker, Heidi S. Nebel, an intellectual
property attorney at McKee, Voorhees & Sease, PLC, Des Moines,
Iowa, U.S., took on the hot topic of patent rights for plants that are
modiﬁed by scientists to contain one or more new traits.
That issue was brought up at the United States Supreme
Court on Feb. 19 in the case of Vernon Hugh Bowman vs.
Monsanto Company, Et Al., which was being tried in order to
better delineate the patent protections of bioengineered seeds
that could replicate themselves.
Nebel noted that patent protection was secured in the U.S.
Constitution, but that the evolution of patent rights for plants
has been ongoing, beginning in 1930, when the United States
passed the Plant Patent Act. But that law was created decades
before people developed ways to inject plants with genes that
