1) Continue operations involved with increasing acreage planted with varieties with improved FHB resistance to reduce DON in the US grain supply, 2) Increase efficiency of coordinated project breeding programs to develop and release FHB resistant varieties, and 3) Develop new breeding technologies and germplasm to further enhance short term and long term improvement of FHB resistance and to efficiently introgress effective resistance genes into breeding germplasm.
