摘要: Fusarium head blight (FHB) is an important cereal ear disease, with potential for provoking high economic losses. In addition to causing reductions in grain yield and quality, FHB fungi accumulate a variety of mycotoxins the grain. Depending on particular produced, consequences health humans farm animals may include irritations such as nausea, emesis, diarrhoea, anorexia, affect reproductive organs. Even worse are their hepatotoxic, haematotoxic, immunotoxic, genotoxic and, presumably, cancerogenic attributes. Therefore, management essential needs be directed towards reducing mycotoxin contamination lowest levels possible. caused by complex about 17 species that differ, among other factors, profiles geographic prevalence. This review presents achievements accomplished taxonomy population biology instrumental surveying counteracting these pathogens. Furthermore, we focus current agronomic practices progress made breeding FHB-resistant wheat varieties control this sometimes devastating disease.
