Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS3B02G019900
• Gene Symbol: Fhb1 TaHRC TaPFT
• Gene Name: Fusarium head blight
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Isolated the major-effect wheat quantitative trait locus, Qfhs.njau-3B, which confers head blight resistance, and showed that it is the same as the previously designated Fhb1.
• Fhb1 could be useful not only for curbing Fusarium head blight in grain crops but also for improving other plants vulnerable to Fusarium species.
• Both wheat and Arabidopsis transformed with the Fhb1 sequence showed enhanced resistance to Fusarium graminearum spread.
• Fhb1 results from a rare deletion involving the 3 exon of the histidine-rich calcium-binding-protein gene on chromosome 3BS. Both wheat and Arabidopsis transformed with the Fhb1 sequence showed enhanced resistance to Fusarium graminearum spread.
