AFLP markers linked to Fusarium head blight resistance in Triticum aestivum.
… used to find markers linked to genes controlling Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in Triticum aestivum L. FHB is a disease of cereal crops that results in reduced wheat yields, discoloured, shrivelled kernels, mycotoxin accumulation, and reduced seed and grain quality. Since resistance …

Avoiding trade-off when enhancing Fusarium head blight resistance of barley
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is an economically important disease of barley caused by mycotoxin-producing Fusarium species. Resistance to FHB is associated with several agronomic traits, particularly height. Taller cultivars are generally more resistant; however increased height is less favourable …

Background-dependent genetic architecture of Fusarium head blight resistance in U.S. hard winter wheat
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused primarily by Fusarium graminearum, is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat worldwide, causing substantial yield losses and mycotoxin contamination of grain. Deployment of major resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL) through marker-assisted breeding is …

Simultaneous Mapping and Pyramiding of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance Loci in Wheat Breeding Populations
… to enable markerassisted pyramiding for FHB resistance QTL. In the first study, we apply multipoint linkage analysis of general pedigrees to early generation wheat breeding populations for development of dense framework linkage maps. Using this approach, a linkage map consisting of 3,807 loci …

Utilization of tall wheatgrass translocation lines to improve fusarium head blight resistance in wheat
<p>Fusarium head blight (FHB) and leaf rust (LR) are two major fungal pathogens threatening the wheat crop, consequently identifying resistance genes from various sources is always of importance to wheat breeders. Type II FHB resistance in wheat has been improved by introgressing QTL from landraces …

A Genome Wide Association Study for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Southern Soft Red Winter Wheat
<p>Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a disease of small grains caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum. FHB poses potential economic losses and health risks due to the accumulation of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) on infected seed heads. The objectives of this study are: 1) evaluate …

Evaluation of an inoculation method and quantitative trait loci for fusarium head blight resistance in wheat
Fusarium head blight (FHB), which is principally caused in the U.S. by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe [telemorph: Gibberella zeae Schw. (Petch)], is a devastating disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Horderum vulgare L.). Losses inflicted by this disease are the result of reductions in …

Genomic selection and quantitative trait loci mapping for Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) occurring in most growing areas. The disease is primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe [telemorph: Gibberella zeae Schw. (Petch)], in North America, and the majority of current wheat cultivars are …

Validation and Marker-Assisted Selection of Two Major Quantitative Trait Loci Conditioning Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive diseases of common wheat (Triticum eastivum L.) worldwide. Resistance to FHB is an ideal trait for which molecular marker assisted selection (MAS) would facilitate breeding and cultivar development efforts. Validation of quantitative trait …

Molecular mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance and agronomic traits in US hard winter wheat
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the devastating fungal diseases in wheat and results in dramatic losses in grain yield and quality. Use of genetic resistance is an effective approach to FHB control, but highly FHB resistant germplasms usually have many undesirable agronomic traits. To dissect …

Control of fusarium head blight in wheat: I. Evaluation of host plant resistance and fungicides II. Molecular markers associated with QTL for resistance
Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat has become an increasingly important disease over the past 25 years. Significant grain and quality reductions due to FHB can be observed when there is a favorable environment for disease development. Fusarium graminearum, the primary fungal pathogen that causes …
