Engineering Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat by Expression of a Fusion Protein Containing a Fusarium-Specific Antibody and an Antifungal Peptide
Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab of wheat is a devastating disease in warm and humid regions at wheat-flowering periods worldwide. Natural resistance against FHB pathogens is inadequate and the development of FHB-resistant wheat cultivars has been a challenge. Expression of pathogen-specific antib...
