Black point, a severe global wheat disease, necessitates deploying resistant cultivars for effective control. However, susceptibility remains prevalent among most wheat cultivars. Identifying new sources of resistance and understanding their mechanisms are crucial for breeding resistant cultivars.

Crown rot caused by is a devastating wheat disease worldwide. In addition to yield losses, the fungi causing Fusarium crown rot (FCR) also deteriorate the quality and safety of food because of the production of mycotoxins. Planting resistant cultivars is an effective way to control FCR.

Unlabelled: Black point disease is a serious concern in wheat production worldwide. In this study, we aimed to identify the major quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to black point caused by and develop molecular markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS). A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between PZSCL6 (highly susceptible) and Yuyou1 (moderately resistant) was evaluated for black point resistance at four locations under artificial inoculation with .
