“…The new in-depth knowledge for Fhb7, along with the genes reported earlier, provides breeders with the opportunity for gene pyramiding, which might confer optimal control for FHB in wheat. Also, the engineering of Fhb7 in order to increase resistance to FHB in other cereals (such as barley and rye) or crown rot in wheat and ear rot in maize can now be considered (Wulff and Jones 2020).…”

“…Further, the occurrence of the Fhb7 gene in the wild wheat relative Th. elongatum genome might be through a “natural” fungus-to-plant horizontal gene transfer event ( Wang et al, 2020 ; Wulff and Jones, 2020 ). Wheat breeding programs will benefit from successful introgression of Fhb7 in diverse wheat backgrounds through distance hybridization conferring broad resistance to both FHB and crown rot.…”

“…It is speculated that Epichloë may have evolved Fhb7 to compete with Fusarium spp. for grass colonization [111]. Furthermore, transcriptomic studies have identified an abundantly expressed fungal gene coding for a small, secreted protein, similar to antifungal proteins found within species of Penicillium and Aspergillus, in Epichloë festucae-infected red fescue plants [112].…”
