WAVELENGTH AND VISUAL FEATURE SELECTION FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF FUSARIUM HEAD BLIGHT IN WHEAT USING HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease affecting the heads of cereal crops and has caused significant economic losses in the Canadian prairie wheat industry. Although wheat breeding efforts to enhance resistance genes are ongoing, efficient and accurate detection of FHB remains critical for …

Identification and characterization of Fusarium graminearum pathogenesis genes and determination of aggressiveness
Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight of wheat, is a devastating pathogen that causes yield and quality losses to its host. F. graminearum produces mycotoxins in the grain that cause reduced milling and baking qualities, granary rejection, and livestock feed refusal. …

Quantitative Trait Loci for Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in the Hulless Winter Barley Cultivar Eve
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe, is a devastating fungal disease that affects barley production worldwide through damaged kernels, low yields, and production of mycotoxins. The most effective means of control is through the use of FHB resistant cultivars that are …

The application of Near Infrared Transmittance (NIT) individual kernel sorting technology to improve grain quality from spring and durum wheat infected with Fusarium and the effects on broiler chicken performance and immune response.
… for individual kernel sorting to reduce Fusarium damaged kernels (FDK) and mycotoxins in grain. There were two objectives: 1) determine the efficiency of sorting; and 2) assess how highly contaminated sorted grain fractions can be used in dietary challenges for broilers as a screen for …

Development of new tools and germplasms for improvement of wheat resistance to Fusarium head blight
Wheat Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease of wheat worldwide, which can significantly reduce grain yield and quality. Although the application of fungicides can reduce FHB damage, growing FHB resistant wheat is the most effective and eco-friendly approach to reduce the losses. To …

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 …

Identification of Native FHB Resistance QTL in the SRW Wheat Cultivar Jamestown
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and results in significant economic losses due to reductions in grain yield and the accumulation of mycotoxins, such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (NIV). As a result, breeding programs have been …

Effects of chitosan oligosaccharide-amended fungicide treatments on the control of fusarium head blight in wheat
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a destructive fungal disease of wheat caused primarily by Fusarium gramineraum, which reduces grain yield and quality through the accumulation of mycotoxins, especially deoxynivalenol (DON). Current management strategies rely heavily on fungicide applications; however, …

Assessment and Reaction of Triticum aestivum Genotypes to Fusarium graminearum and effects on Traits Related to Grain Yield and Seed Quality
Fusarium graminearum (Schwabe), causal organism of fusarium head blight (FHB), has become a major pathogen of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) throughout North America. Since its discovery in the United States, the disease has spread south and east until at present it is an annual threat for growers of …

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 …
