Heritability Estimates and Response to Selection for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Soft Red Winter Wheat
2006-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum (Schwabe), is an economically important disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). After epidemics in the USA during the 1990s, a resistance-breeding effort was undertaken focusing initially on the transfer of Type II resistance from unadapted Chinese cultivars. The objective of this study was to determine the magnitude and heritability of resistance in popu...
