Summary: Modern spelt varieties with reduced plant height showed higher susceptibility to Fusarium head blight and higher contamination of grains with deoxynivalenol (DON), while old landraces and varieties had higher resistance and lower mycotoxin levels. These findings can aid in selecting suitable parental material for breeding spelt with improved FHB resistance.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of wheat cultivars and environmental factors on Fusarium graminearum infection and mycotoxin production. The results showed significant differences in mycotoxin levels due to wheat cultivars and environmental conditions. Transcriptome analysis revealed molecular differences between wheat cultivars in response to F. graminearum infection. This research provides important insights into the risk of FHB contamination and the regulatory mechanisms of wheat in response to F. graminearum.

Summary: This study reveals that the main pathway for inhibition of DON and ZEN biosynthesis is the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in the G-protein-cAMP-PKA signaling pathway. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying mycotoxin production and its regulation.

Summary: The study investigated Fusarium crown rot tolerance in 34 durum wheat genotypes and found that some conventional durum wheat genotypes as well as those derived from crosses exhibited comparable tolerance to Suntop. Suntop was identified as the most tolerant genotype, while EGA Bellaroi was identified as very intolerant based on FCR tolerance index.

Summary: This study isolated 111 Trichoderma strains from the rhizospheric soil of an ancient wheat variety cultivated in an organic farming system in Tunisia. Analysis identified six new strains that exhibited promising abilities as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents against Fusarium seedling blight disease in wheat.

Summary: The distribution of mycotoxins in wheat wholemeal fractions depends on the contamination level of wheat kernel, with flour fractions containing the highest levels of deoxynivalenol (DON) and enniatin B (ENNB). Prolonged sourdough fermentation can significantly reduce DON levels and remove some other toxins, which is crucial for the risk assessment of wheat-based products.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of fungicides on head blight disease, spike harvest index, and DON accumulation in wheat kernels. The application of fungicides containing tebuconazole, thiophanate methyl plus tetraconazole, and prothioconazole plus trifloxystrobin reduced the disease severity and increased kernel weight. The efficacy of tebuconazole and prothioconazole plus trifloxystrobin was higher than that of thiophanate methyl plus tetraconazole.

Summary: Exploiting wheat cultivars with stable resistance to Fusarium Head blight and toxin accumulation is an effective strategy to reduce yield losses and mycotoxin contamination. Investigation in China's major wheat growing regions revealed that growing region and cultivar significantly affect the occurrence of FHB and mycotoxin accumulation.
