Background-dependent genetic architecture of Fusarium head blight resistance in U.S. hard winter wheat
… 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 an effective strategy for improving resistance; however, the …

Nitrogen and sulfur effects on hard winter wheat quality and asparagine concentration and survey of Kansas soil sulfur conditions
… is a S deficiency has shown to be detrimental to wheat quality. Sulfur deficiency is detrimental to baking quality due to its effects on formation of disulfide bonds. These bonds are formed from the sulfhydryl groups of cysteine, which influence viscoelasticity of dough. Soil S deficiency can also …

Molecular mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance and agronomic traits in US hard winter wheat
… 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 the relationship …

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 …

Broadening the wheat gene pool for stem rust resistance through genomic-assisted introgressions from Aegilops tauschii
… to diseases and insect pests that attack bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. (2n=6x=42, AABBDD). Wheat production is currently threatened by broadly virulent races of the ‘Ug99’ lineage of wheat stem rust caused by the fungus, Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici Pers. & Eriks. Screening of a large set …

A comprehensive microbiome analysis of wheat and its wild relatives
… of the A, B, and D genomes in modern hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) manage environmental stress in their native environment by establishing symbioses with a consortium of beneficial microbes (Iannucci et al., 2017). However, these microbial communities are not well understood. The goal of …
