Overexpression of Nepenthesin <i>HvNEP-1</i> in Barley Endosperm Reduces Fusarium Head Blight and Mycotoxin Accumulation

Overexpression of Nepenthesin <i>HvNEP-1</i> in Barley Endosperm Reduces Fusarium Head Blight and Mycotoxin Accumulation

Fusarium head blight (FHB) causes substantial losses of yield and quality in grains, both in the field and in post-harvest storage. To date, adequate natural genetic resistance is not available for the control of FHB. This study reports the cloning and overexpression of a barley (<i>Hordeum vu...
