Verbatim
e0“Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is primarily caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum”
e4“However, the widespread adoption of these techniques will depend on standardized imaging protocols, robust generalization across diverse genotypes, and effective integration into breeding pipelines”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Hyperspectral imaging can accurately estimate Fusarium infection in wheat spikes and kernels and DON content in grain, according to the review.
- Observation Waveband-specific spectral approaches do not generalize well to new data in wheat FHB phenotyping.
- Association Hyperspectral imaging is significantly more resource-intensive than RGB or multispectral cameras, limiting its practicality for most breeding programs.
- Recommendation Spectral-index and deep-learning digital image phenotyping shows the most potential for use in wheat breeding.
