Alien Chromosome Engineering and the Deployment of a Novel Source of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat

Objective

Develop wheat-Leymus compensating recombinant lines with small alien segments that still retain the FHB resistance gene for deployment and gene pyramiding for FHB disease control.

More information

Approach: Develop wheat-Leymus chromosome recombinant lines with FHB resistance. Determine the effect of T7AL.7Lr#1S FHB resistance on DON accumulation. Pre-breed novel T7AL.7Lr#1S FHB resistance into U.S. adapted wheat to verify resistance.
