Effect of Quantitative Wheat Resistance on the Aggressiveness of Fusarium graminearum.

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about the selection pressures acting on plant pathogen populations, especially those applied by quantitative forms of resistance. Fusarium graminearum causes Fusarium head blight in wheat, producing significant yield losses and mycotoxin contamination. Quantitative host resistance is the best method to control Fusarium head blight. However, there needs to be more understanding of how disease...
