In Australia, Fusarium pseudograminearum and F. culmorum are the two main fungi causing crown rot, while Bipolaris sorokiniana is causal agent of common root rot. graminearum typically linked with head blight; however, it has been associated rot in Australia other parts world. This study investigated reactions single cultivars barley, bread wheat, durum oat, triticale to inoculation strains pse...

FgABC1 (FGSG_04580) is predicted to encode a pleiotropic drug resistance class ABC transporter in Fusarium graminearum, a globally important pathogen of wheat. Deletion mutants of FgABC1 showed reduced virulence towards wheat in crown and root infection assays but were unaltered in infectivity on barley. Expression of FgABC1 during head blight and crown rot disease increases during the necrotro...
