Determine whether chromosome segments from the wild wheat relative Triticum timopheevii can confer resistance to Fusarium head blight and reduce mycotoxin accumulation in hexaploid wheat.
Generated and evaluated hexaploid wheat–Triticum timopheevii introgression lines harboring a segment of the short arm of chromosome 3G (Chr3G) or chromosome 7At.
Assessed plant responses to Fusarium head blight following spray inoculation, measuring type II disease resistance, grain weight retention, and deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation.
Introgressed Chr3G segments conferred potent type II resistance against Fusarium head blight spread within the wheat spike.
Chr3G-carrying lines demonstrated improved grain weight retention and reduced DON mycotoxin accumulation compared to susceptible lines.
Introgression of a Chr7At segment into the short arm of chromosome 7A also enhanced type II resistance.
