MOLECULAR GENETIC APPROACHES TO DEVELOP SCAB RESISTANCE

Objective

Continue gene discovery effort for FHB resistance genes; use the latest genomics tools to study wheat-F. graminearum and barley-F. graminearum interactions and to identify the mechanisms, pathways and genes that are involved in FHB resistance. Continue to develop novel transgenic wheat and to test these and the transgenic lines currently in the lab against FHB.
