Genome-wide linkage mapping of Fusarium head blight resistance in common wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum, is one of the most destructive wheat diseases worldwide. FHB infection can dramatically reduce grain yield and quality due to mycotoxins contamination. Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) represents a novel source of FHB resistance derived from Aegilops tauschii and Triticum turgidum that can be transferred into common wheat. Introducing new resistant germplasm, identifying loci for FHB resistance and developing available markers are crucial for wheat breeding.

Methods

In this study, a recombinant inbred lines (RIL) population originated from SHW line PS5/V975 and Sumai 3 cross were evaluated across four environments. Both the RILs and parents were genotyped using the wheat 50K single-n
