Different letters indicate significant differences at p< 0.05 level (Duncan test) (Adopted from Kong et al., 2024) In the future, research should focus more on how to further improve the nutritional density and absorption effect of wheat through breeding, agronomic management and biotechnology. For example, combining microbial and non-microbial stimulants, exploring new fermentation methods, and using new technologies such as synthetic biology and gene editing are all very promising directions. To truly apply these results to life, plant breeders, food scientists and the business community need to work together. Only in this way can more nutritious and healthier wheat foods be promoted. Expanding the use of fortified wheat in various food systems will also play an important role in solving malnutrition and ensuring global food security. Acknowledgments We are grateful to Dr. J.
