Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive fungal disease of wheat that causes significant economic loss due to lower yields and the contamination of grain with fungal toxins (mycotoxins), particularly deoxynivalenol (DON). FHB disease spread and mycotoxin contamination has been shown to worsen at elevated CO<sub>2</sub>, therefore, it is important to identify climate-resilient FHB resistance. This work evaluates whether wheat with the <i>Fhb1</i> quantitative trait locus (QTL), the most widely ...[more]
