Introduction: head blight (FHB) has a large influence on both the yield and quality of wheat grain worldwide. Host resistance is the most effective method for controlling FHB, but unfortunately, very few genetic resources on FHB resistance are available; therefore, identifying novel resistance genes or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is valuable.
Methods: Here, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population containing 451 lines derived from the cross L661/PI672538 was sown in four different environments (2019CZ, 2019CZ, 2021QL and 2021WJ).
Results: Five QTLs, consisting of two previously reported QTLs ( and ) and three new QTLs (, and ), were identified. Further investigation revealed that , and could be detected in all four environments, and and FhbL693e were detected only in 2019CZb and 2021WJ, respectively. Among the QTLs, the greatest contribution (10.5%) to the phenotypic variation effect (PVE) was in 2021WJ, while the smallest (1.2%) was and in 2019CZ. The selection of for , for and for decreased the number of damaged spikelets by 2.1, and a new line resistant to FHB named H140-2 was developed by marker-assisted selection (MAS).
Discussion: These results could help to further improve FHB resistance in the future.

Ambiguity about whether the histidine-rich calcium-binding protein-coding gene (His) or the pore-forming toxin-like gene (PFT) or both are responsible for Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance conferred by the Fhb1 quantitative trait locus hinders progress toward elucidating Fhb1 resistance mechanisms. Here, with a series of developed lines with or without PFT but all possessing His and five His-carrying PFT mutant lines created via gene editing, we show that PFT does not confer FHB resistance and that the His resistance effect does not require PFT in the tested conditions. We also show that PFT mutations are not associated with morphological and phenological characteristics that often affect FHB severity.

Unlabelled: Genomic selection-based breeding programs offer significant advantages over conventional phenotypic selection, particularly in accelerating genetic gains in plant breeding, as demonstrated by simulations focused on combating Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat. FHB resistance, a crucial trait, is challenging to breed for due to its quantitative inheritance and environmental influence, leading to slow progress using conventional breeding methods. Stochastic simulations in our study compared various breeding schemes, incorporating genomic selection (GS) and combining it with speed breeding, against conventional phenotypic selection.

Fusarium head blight (FHB), mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum, is a major wheat disease. Significant efforts have been made to improve resistance to FHB in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), but more work is needed for durum wheat (Triticum turgidum spp. durum).

Chemical control of head blight (FHB) in wheat plants is often challenged by the resistance outbreak and deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation. Developing green partners for fungicides is crucial for reducing fungal growth, mycotoxin contamination, and agricultural fungicides input. Herein, we investigated the mechanism of MgO nanoparticles (NPs) in controlling FHB.

is one of the most important plant-pathogenic fungi that causes disease on wheat and maize, as it decreases yield in both crops and produces mycotoxins that pose a risk to human and animal health. Resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat is well studied and documented. However, resistance to Gibberella ear rot (GER) in maize is less understood, despite several similarities with FHB.
