Article Synopsis
- * Research indicates that the ongoing wheat blast outbreak can be managed using the Rmg8 disease resistance gene and certain fungicides, but the fungus may develop resistance over time.
- * There is an urgent need for genomic tracking of the wheat blast fungus and proactive breeding strategies to develop resistant wheat varieties and prevent further spread.
Wheat blast disease caused by the () pathotype exerts a significant impact on grain development, yield, and quality of the wheat. The aim of this study was to investigate morphological, physiological, biochemical, and nutritional properties of wheat cv. BARI Gom 24 under varying levels of blast disease severity in wheat spikes.

Reliable diagnostic tools are essential given that the pathogen has a propensity to jump to new hosts and spread to new geographic regions. Of particular concern is wheat blast, which has suddenly appeared in Bangladesh in 2016 before spreading to neighboring India.
