Abstract
Fhb1 is the most effective and most widely deployed source of durable resistance against Fusarium graminearum, a devastating toxin-producing fungal pathogen affecting wheat. Two new studies identify Fhb1
as an atypical disease resistance gene; this discovery is expected to
fuel discussion on the molecular nature of this important
disease-resistance locus.
