Answer:
A wheat variety Atlas 66, which has been used as a donor for improving cultivated wheat is rich in high protein content.
Explanation:
A research carried out by AID – supported Nebraska to improve the nutritional quality shows that the substantial genetic variation existed in wheat grain.
The experimental varieties show 5% extra protein content than the ordinary varieties. The genetic lysine content is ranged from 0.4% - 0.7% in the Atlas 66 variety. The lysine per unit weight is related to the increased protein content of the wheat. This experimental high protein content variety is released by the Nebraska Agricultural Experimental Station in 1975.
