- Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a serious wheat disease all over the world. In this study, the relationships between plant height (PH) and FHB were investigated across the whole wheat genome by QTL meta-analysis from fifty-six experiments. Coincident meta-QTL (MQTL) for PH and FHB were found on chromosomes 2D, 3A, 4B, 4D and 7A. Rht-B1, Rht-D1, Rht8, MQTLs P7 and P26 were consistent with FHB MQTLs. The meta-analysis results confirmed the negative associations of Rht-B1, Rht-D1, and Rht8 with FHB resistance. The associations of PH and FHB resistance on chromosomes 3A and 7A have not been reported and need further investigation. These regions should be given attention in breeding programs. MQTLs derived from several resistance sources were also observed. Some FHB MQTLs for different types of resistance overlapped. These findings could be useful for improving wheat varieties with resistance to FHB.
