Abstract
The project aims to establish the genetic basis of resistance to Fusarium head blight of wheat. This involves phenotyping and molecular marker analysis of mapping populations. In addition, a candidate gene approach is being taken to further investigate the mechanisms behind resistance to the fungal pathogen and mycotoxins produced by it. The aim is to produce markers to aid the development of wheat varieties resistant to Fusarium and their toxic products to permit the reduction/elimination of risk to consumers through consumption of these agents.
