Abstract

Fusarium head blight resistance has previously been detected in two accessions of Ae. cylindrica (2n=4x=28, CCDD genome). The resistance was introgressed initially into a semi-dwarf winter wheat, then subsequently into a number of Canadian hard red spring wheat cultivars plus one cultivar from USA. DON contents, determined on field plot-harvested samples are reported for selected lines from three populations.  Of the total of 83 lines tested from the three populations, 18 lines showed DON contents of less than 1ppm. Another 48 lines had 1-5ppm DON in their seed, compared to check cultivars Sumai3 at 1.2ppm and Roblin at 11.0 ppm. It is anticipated that unique FHB resistance QTL will be identified in these populations
