Characterization of Fusarium head blight resistance in a CIMMYT synthetic-derived bread wheat line
2016-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Fusarium head blight (FHB), also known as head scab, is a devastating fungal disease of bread and durum wheat worldwide. It reduces yield, lowers seed germination, reduces grain quality, and renders grain unsuitable for human or animal consumption due to mycotoxin contamination.
