Genetic Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci Contributing to Variation in In Vitro Deoxynivalenol Levels in Fusarium graminearum
Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum is a major disease of wheat and barley worldwide. Besides causing yield loss, F. graminearum also contaminates infected grains with trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetylated derivatives. Field isolates of F. graminearum vary in the...
