Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease occurring in small grain cereals
worldwide. The disease results in the reduction of grain yield, and mycotoxins accumulated
in grain are also harmful to both humans and animals. It has been reported that response to
pathogen infection may be associated with the morphological and developmental traits of
the host plant, eg earliness and plant height. Despite many studies, effective markers for
selection of barley genotypes with increased resistance to FHB have not been developed. In …
