Abstract excerpt
Fusarium head blight of wheat is an extremely damaging disease, causing severe losses in seed yield and quality. The objective of the current study was to examine and characterize alternate sources of resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB). Ninety-one F1-derived doubled haploid lines from the cross Triticum aestivum 'Wuhan-1' x Triticum aestivum 'Maringa' were examined for disease reaction to Fusarium...
