New Study Elucidates Overall Infection Strategies of Phytopathogen Fusarium Graminearum inside Wheat Coleoptiles through in Planta Stage-Specific Gene Profiling
The filamentous fungus Fusarium graminearum (sexual stage Gibberella zeae) is the casual agent of several crop diseases including wheat Fusarium head blight (FHB) and maize Gibberella stalk rot. In addition, it produces mycotoxins (e.g. DON, deoxynivaleno
