Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Fusarium pseudograminearum was more aggressive on roots.
- Observation Fusarium graminearum affected spikes more severely.
- Observation No clear varietal resistance pattern emerged among the tested hosts.
- Observation A resistance pattern emerged for wheat genotypes carrying a known resistance/susceptibility QTL.
- Recommendation Using multiple experiments is important for accurate phenotype characterisation, since a single technique is insufficient.
- Method / resource The study confirmed the use of Brachypodium as a model plant for Fusarium-plant interaction studies, compared with barley and wheat.
