Summary: FHB is a devastating wheat disease caused by F. graminearum, which affects yield and contaminates grain with mycotoxins. This study identified key metabolic changes in wheat varieties in response to fungal infection and discovered two plant-derived metabolites, phenylalanine and malate, that inhibit F. graminearum growth.

Summary: The study found that different wheat cultivars exhibit variations in susceptibility to Fusarium head blight (FHB), but share common characteristics in the core proteome. Susceptibility changes are mainly influenced by genotype-dependent factors, while shared molecular adjustments are independent of the aggressiveness of F. graminearum strains.

Summary: This study evaluated the aggressiveness of F. cerealis to durum wheat cultivars and mycotoxin production in planta, finding that all cultivars exhibited typical FHB symptoms and NIV was the most produced mycotoxin. Molecular analysis revealed all strains possessed NIV genotype, while chemical assessment showed they could produce various secondary metabolites. The increasing incidence of F. cerealis and the potential crop contamination with mycotoxins pose great concern for food security and world cereal trade, especially given the higher toxicity of NIV compared to DON.

Summary: Bread wheat is a widely cultivated crop providing about 20% of daily calorie intake. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease reducing wheat yield and quality globally. Advances in omics technologies have allowed for the identification of candidate pathogen effectors and host resistance genes, offering new strategies for developing FHB-resistant wheat cultivars.

Summary: This study explored the potential of using hyperspectral imagery obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle to detect wheat FHB by combining different spectral features. The field-scale wheat FHB detection model based on a combination of SBs, VIs, and WFs achieved the highest accuracy among the tested models. Our results suggest that UAV-based hyperspectral imaging technology is promising for the field-scale detection of wheat FHB.

Summary: In this study, a prediction method for wheat Fusarium head blight (FHB) that combines a logistic regression mechanism-based model and k-nearest neighbors (KNN) model was proposed. By integrating factor weights into the predictive factors, the occurrence rate of wheat FHB was accurately predicted. The results showed that the proposed method achieved higher accuracy and stability compared to traditional models.

Summary: This study found that Fusarium graminearum (FHB) is a devastating disease in wheat, causing substantial yield losses and mycotoxin contamination. Two GH12 proteins, Fg05851 and Fg11037, were found to have redundant roles in F. graminearum colonization and were recognized by the receptor-like protein RXEG1. Introducing RXEG1 into different wheat cultivars enhanced resistance to F. graminearum.

Summary: This study found that microbes from aging biochars can prevent wheat crown rot and Fusarium head blight. The fungus Papiliotrema flavescens showed strong antifungal effects without producing antifungal substances. Field trials demonstrated a significant reduction in spike disease rate and an increase in crop yield with the presence of P. flavescens.

Summary: This study examined the effects of future climate conditions on the F. graminearum/F. poae-barley/wheat pathosystem. Warm nights were found to favor the development of F. graminearum, leading to decreased grain quality parameters and significantly increased mycotoxin concentration.

Summary: This paper proposes a lightweight model for wheat ear FHB detection based on UAV-enabled edge computing. The model utilizes deep learning architectures and edge devices to achieve accurate and real-time detection. By using a lighter network, optimizing the loss function, and enhancing the model's generalization ability, the proposed model performs well in terms of detection accuracy.

Summary: Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease in wheat caused by the Fusarium graminearum species complex, which also produces toxins harmful to human health. Despite the discovery of numerous genes related to FHB resistance in wheat, the disease continues to spread rapidly due to climate and cropping system changes. Therefore, further research and application of more FHB resistance genes are necessary to combat this problem.

Summary: This study compared the control efficacy of different wheat varieties, fungicides, and application times on wheat Fusarium head blight (FHB) and deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination. The results showed that the disease-resistant and low-toxic wheat variety Ningmai 26 and 30% prothioconazole oil dispersion (OD) had the highest control efficacy. Additionally, the 0-20% flowering stage was found to be crucial in controlling DON.

Summary: The rise in atmospheric CO2 levels affects the nutritional integrity and disease resistance of wheat. Wheat cultivars with medium resistance to Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) are more affected by elevated CO2 levels compared to susceptible cultivars. The nutritional content and growth of the medium resistance cultivars show significant differences at elevated CO2 levels. This study highlights the importance of identifying wheat cultivars that can maintain nutritional integrity and FHB resistance under future atmospheric CO2 conditions.

Summary: The study identifies three candidate genes for the Lr42 leaf rust resistance gene using the BSR-Seq mapping strategy and confirms the function of a nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat gene in conferring resistance. The rare Lr42 resistance allele likely originated from ectopic recombination in Aegilops tauschii. Cloning of Lr42 provides diagnostic markers and its widespread use in crop improvement is well-documented.
