Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum occurs in wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) and threatens food production worldwide. Wheat lacks broad, durable FHB resistance. However, Zhang et al. developed a mycovirus-based virus-induced gene-silencing system in F. graminearum, providing efficient biocontrol of this devastating fungal disease.
