Abstract excerpt
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease posing a major threat to wheat production. Plant breeding that leverages genotyping is an effective method to improve the genetic resistance of cultivars. Started in 1995, the uniform regional scab nursery (URSN) consists of germplasm from several public breeding programs in the Northern US region. Its main objective is to showcase new sources of resistance and...
