Research Project:
ENHANCEMENT OF FUSARIUM HEAD BLIGHT RESISTANCE IN THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. GERMPLASM POOL
Project Number: 0500-00053-002-28
Project Type:
Grant
Start Date: Jun 16, 2004
End Date: Jun 15, 2009
Objective:
Develop control measures that minimize the threat of Fusarium head blight. Develop varieties of soft red winter wheat with enhanced FHB resistance for the southeastern U.S.
Approach:
Find potentially novel sources of FHB resistance in selected A and D genome diploid wheat relatives and in winter type accessions of the Sando intergeneric hybrid germplasm collection. Coordinate the 2004-2005 Uniform Southern Soft Red Winter Wheat Fusarium Head Blight Nursery.
FY06 Titles:
1. Introgression of FHB Resistance from Hexaploid, Diploid and Intergeneric Hybrids into Soft Red Winter Wheat
2. Development of Fusarium Head Blight Resistant Wheat for the Southeastern United States
