Characterization of multiple resistance components against fusarium head blight in wheat

Crop Types
  • Wheat
Collaborating Locations

Background

The knowledge, germplasm and markers generated from this project will accelerate breeding cycles and benefit the wheat industry.

Objectives

  1. Characterization of Type II FHB resistance components under greenhouse conditions
  2. Characterization of resistance components related to disease parameters, DON and the masked mycotoxin D3G
  3. Characterization of phenylpropanoid related secondary metabolites contributing to FHB resistance
  4. Genome wide association analysis of FHB resistance components on the bread and tetraploid wheat AM panels
