Abstract
The genetics of resistance of wheat to fusarium is very poorly understood. Likewise, the extent of variability and pathogenicity within the Fusarium species that cause scab are also not known. The project aims to determine the genetic basis of resistance in a number of unrelated wheat lines in order to improve the understanding of resistance to scab and the development of wheat cultivars with enhanced levels of resistance. Understanding variability and pathogenicity within the pathogen will reveal the relative risk of resistance being overcome by the generation of novel highly pathogenic isolates.
