Quantitative trait loci for Fusarium head blight resistance in Huangcandou x ‘Jagger’ wheat population

Mapping and Expression Analysis of a Fusarium Head Blight Resistance Gene Candidate Pleiotropic Drug Resistance 5 (PDR5) in Wheat

Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum is a serious disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), through which grain quality losses are induced by fungal trichotecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON). A class of plasma membrane localized ABC transporter proteins related to the yeast PDR5 (pleiotropic drug resistance5) efflux pump seems to be responsible for partial resista...

Evaluation of Resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici Blotch andFusarium Head Blight in Some Genotypes of Bread Wheat

Using resistant cultivars is an effective method in management Zymoseptoria tritici Blotch and Fusarium Head Blight of wheat. This study was conducted to identify new sources of resistance to these diseases among a large number of Iranian cultivars and new wheat genotypes. The genotypes were cultivated in an augment design in the research farm of Aliabad Katoul Agricultural School. Artificial c...

Network: Wheat Disease Resistance Identification of Molecular Markers Linked to Fusarium Head Blight (Scab) Resistance Genes in Wheat

At least seventeen different Fusarium spp. associated with head blight have been found worldwide. In India, Fusarium head blight occurs all along the wheat growing Himalayan belt up to a height of 1500 meters. Farmers in these areas depend on rainfed wheat for their household consumption and use it as a seed stock for the next season. Since the disease has appeared only occasionally so far, it ...
