DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Dhananjay Dhokane\, Plant Science Departmen
 t\n\nFusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive diseases of
  wheat worldwide. FHB not only cause serious losses in yield but also sign
 ificantly detoriates the quality of grains by contaminating them with heal
 th hazardous mycotoxins. Plant resistance is considered as the most sustai
 nable and effective strategy to manage FHB and to reduce the accumulation 
 of mycotoxins. However\, lack of effective and precise phenotyping methods
  and limited understanding of the genetics of FHB resistance has hindered 
 the development of resistant cultivars. Resistance to FHB in wheat is quan
 titative\, therefore more than 100 QTL have been identified and mapped on 
 all chromosomes in wheat. QTL-Fhb2 is the second major QTL that confers hi
 gh levels of resistance to the spread of Fusarium graminearum (Fg) within 
 a spike through the rachis. However\, the genes underlying the QTL and the
  mechanisms of resistance are still unelucidated.\n\nEveryone in the McGil
 l community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in cel
 ebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n\n \n\n \n
