Abstract: Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major fungal disease affecting wheat production worldwide. Since the early 1990s, FHB, caused primarily by Fusarium graminearum, has become one of the most significant diseases faced by wheat producers in Canada and the United States. The increasing FHB problem is likely due to the increased adoption of conservation tillage practices, expansion of maize production, use of susceptible wheat varieties in rotation, and climate variability. Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum sp. durum) … Show more

“…The warm and moist weather conditions experienced in 2014 and 2016, which favor Fusarium infection, caused huge losses for Saskatchewan farmers, with >50% of seed samples infected with Fusarium 1 . Annual losses attributed to FHB in Canada are in the hundreds of millions of dollars (Haile et al, 2019).…”

“…Resistance to FHB is quantitative, requiring a quantitative approach for evaluation and analysis. Genetic studies conducted over the last decade have identified over 500 FHB resistance QTL on all wheat chromosomes [23][24][25]. Fhb1, on chromosome 3B is the most consistently reported QTL for FHB resistance breeding from Chinese wheat cultivar Sumai 3.…”

“…For plants, the threat of fungal disease is a longstanding economic burden on essential food crops. For instance, the fungal-like oomycete Phytophthora infestans devasted potato crops in the 1840s, igniting the Irish potato famine, and modern-day agricultural downfalls repeatedly occur from wheat- and rice-targeting fungi, including Magnaporthe oryzae , Botrytis cinerea , and Fusarium graminearum ( 1 3 ). Epidemic outbreaks of fungal and oomycete infections of food crops have accumulated a loss of global feeding capacity by 8.5% (approximately 650 million people) ( 4 ).…”
