What is it about?
Total FHB resistance in wheat can be divided into several different components. Type III resistance has been proposed based on the apparent insensitivity of resistant wheat cultivars to trichothecenes. To recommend appropriate wheat cultivars to plant in an effort to reduce DON contamination levels in Jiangsu province, we evaluated the capacity of various wheat cultivars to transform DON into D3G under field conditions.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that FHB-resistant cultivars, such as Sumai 188 and Ningmai 13, had lower levels of DON and D3G than the others. However, additional factors, including the growing region and environmental variables, were important for wheat management when other wheat cultivars were evaluated.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This article also lead to wheat breeding experts contacting me and ultimately to a greater involvement in FHB research.
