Project Length:
3 Years
Objectives:
Screen contemporary wild populations of Fusarium graminearum from the Prairies for resistance toward fungicides belonging to the fungicide groups 3,7, and 11. Experimentally determine the likely genetic routes by which resistance toward azole fungicides may arise in Fusarium graminearum.
