Someone "much too fascinated by technology" is redesigning wheat... A wheat called Norman just might feed a hungry world kansascity.com Norman looks gorgeous; long agile heads chockfull of developing wheat berries form a solid wheat canopy. We placed hats atop bobbing heads for photos. Raj says a canopy can support a hat is sign of high-yielding wheat. Norman has a 10 percent yield advantage over other cultivars. We are witnessing a rare magical moment of a big jump in yield. Dr. Rajaram believes that in part that jump is coming from genetic trait released in 1991 by the Wheat Genetic and Genomic Resources Center at Kansas State University. It includes a gene that provides resistance to leaf rust, a disease that has devastated wheat since Roman times.
