HB4 wheat is a type of wheat that has been genetically modified by introducing sunflower genes,[1] with the objective of improving crop productivity. Wheat, along with corn, rice and soybeans, constitute the basis of world food,[2] and different scientific research was focused on improving its productivity. The improvements in food production achieved in the 90's agricultural production could equal the food demand of the world population, thanks to different technological improvements.[3]
