Fungicides used to control Fusarium head blight (FHB) are commonly applied at the wheat growth stage considered be most susceptible, i.e., anthesis. We compared efficacy of fungicide groups that were following two strategies: (i) pre-defined stages, from first half heading end flowering (experiment 1, in 2013 2015), or (ii) based on timing infection by F. graminearum, specifically 10, 7, 4, 1 d...

The man-made cereal triticale was fully resistant to the biotrophic diseases powdery mildew, leaf rust, yellow and stem rust from its introduction in Europe mid-1970s until about 1990. In following years, new races that were able infect at least some genotypes developed all four pathogen populations, resistance breeding came into focus. Here, we analyzed 656 winter cultivars 12 countries for th...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a serious disease of wheat and barley that is best controlled by host resistance. In KSU Extension publications, the reaction to FHB for winter wheat cultivars is reported to producers using a 1-9 scale where 1-3 = resistant, 4-6 = intermediate, and 7-9 = susceptible. This research sought to determine how many location-years are needed to accurately determine the r...

A semi-comprehensive metabolomics was used to identify the candidate metabolites and genes to decipher mechanisms of resistance in wheat near-isogenic lines (NILs) containing QTL-2DL against Fusarium graminearum (Fg). Metabolites, with high fold-change in abundance, belonging to hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs): such as coumaroylagmatine, coumaroylputrescine and Fatty acids: phosphatidic aci...

Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) ionically crosslinked with tripolyphosphate salts (TPP) were employed as nanocarriers in combined drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia (MH) therapy. To that aim, three different ferrofluid concentrations and a constant 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) concentration were efficiently encapsulated to yield magnetic CSNPs with core-shell morphology. In vitro experiments using...

Ethylene signalling affects the resistance of dicotyledonous plant species to diverse pathogens but almost nothing is known about the role of this pathway in monocotyledonous crop species. Fusarium graminearum causes Fusarium head blight (FHB) of cereals, contaminating grain with mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON). Very little is known about the mechanisms of resistance/susceptibility to t...

We compared the impregnation techniques for globules according to the Manual of Technical Norms for Homeopathic Pharmacies (MNTFH) of the Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists (ABFH), Brazilian Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia (FHB) and variations of these techniques. The variables were evaluated in this procedure, three different sizes of globules (No. 3, 5 and 7), the hydroalcoholic solution of 70%...

Fusarium head blight (FHB), primarily caused by a fungal plant pathogen graminearum, is devastating disease of wheat and other cereals. FHB reduces yield, but also the quality feeding value crop. The fungus produces mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) that poses significant threat to health domestic animals humans. In 2019 epidemic occurred not only southern eastern parts Hungary, affected area Cent...

Abstract Till now, no published study is available on the variation in pathogenicity of Fusarium head blight (FHB) pathogens relation to their isolation origin barley head. To end this, two cultivars contrasting quantitative resistance were artificially infected by four FHB species under field conditions over consecutive growing seasons. Then, tests conducted vitro single-spore cultures origina...
