Susceptibility of durum wheat to Fusarium graminearum, Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici, and Zymoseptoria tritici in Poland.

ABSTRACT: Durum wheat is highly susceptible to fungal pathogens, which poses a significant challenge in its production. The aim of this study was to evaluate the health status of European spring cultivars of durum wheat grown in southern and northern Poland, to identify T. durum genes that confer resistance to Fusarium graminearum, Blumeria graminis, and Zymoseptoria tritici, and to select cultivars that are most resistant to changing environmental conditions in the temperate climate of Central Europe. Plant health was assessed in three-year field experiments, and the tested cultivars' sensitivity to inoculation with F. graminearum and accumulation of group B trichothecenes was analyzed in a greenhouse experiment. Resistance alleles were identified, and wheat plants' susceptibility to Fusarium head
