Comparative transcriptomes reveal insights into different host responses associated with Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium head blight (FHB) has become a major challenge in global wheat production, causing severe yield losses and exacerbating food safety concerns. In recent years, FHB-related research has focused on understanding resistance mechanisms, identifying genetic markers, and breeding resistant varieties to mitigate the disease's impact on yield and quality. This study comparatively analyzed transcriptome data from six wheat materials with differing levels of resistance following infection by Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum). The results displayed that a total of 26,767 protein-coding genes and 2,463 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) showed differential expression levels between normal and FHB treatment in at least one material. Among them, 14,130 FHB-responsive protein-coding genes and 913
