Gene expression in near isogenic spring wheat lines carrying different combinaison of the FHB resistance QTLs 2DL, 3BS and 5A during early infection with Fusarium graminearum, the major causal agent of fusarium head blight in wheat

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease of cereal crops caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum (Fg). FHB affects the flowering heads (or spikes). This study compare the gene expression profile in wheat spikelets from near isogenic spring wheat lines carrying different combinaison of the FHB resistance QTLs 2DL, 3BS and 5A, after inoculation with water (H2O) or Fg; the point inoculation method was used.
