Abstract:Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of wheat. Since early 1990s, frequent FHB epidemics in major wheat growing regions have caused massive economic losses. Developing FHB resistant varieties is key to minimize the loss caused by the disease. In durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum), however, it is challenged by lack of resistant sources. Introgression of resistance genes from wild relatives and bread wheat has resulted in some durum wheat lines with moderate resistance. Due to it… Show more
