Fusarium head blight (FHB), which is mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum , is a destructive wheat disease that threatens global wheat production. Fhb1 , a quantitative trait locus discovered in Chinese germplasm, provides the most stable and the largest effect on FHB resistance in wheat. Here we s...
