head blight (FHB) is a major threat for wheat production worldwide. Most reviews focus on as a main causal agent of FHB. However, different species are involved in this disease complex.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMost studies of head blight (FHB) focused on wheat infection at anthesis. Less is known about infections at later stages. In this study, the effect of infection timing on the development of FHB and the distribution of fungal biomass and deoxynivalenol (DON) along wheat spikes was investigated.

- Head blight (FHB) in wheat is increasingly problematic, leading to a need for effective techniques to detect infections and mycotoxin contamination.
- This study explored the effectiveness of hyperspectral imaging in monitoring infected wheat kernels and flour, using two wheat varieties inoculated with specific fungi.
- Results showed that infected kernels had higher spectral reflectance than non-inoculated ones, with strong correlations between spectral data and levels of fungal DNA and the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON).
Optical sensors have shown high capabilities to improve the detection and monitoring of plant disease development. This study was designed to compare the feasibility of different sensors to characterize head blight (FHB) caused by and . Under controlled conditions, time-series measurements were performed with infrared thermography (IRT), chlorophyll fluorescence imaging (CFI), and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) starting 3 days after inoculation (dai).
