DESCRIPTION: \n\nPhD Oral Defense of Shivappa Hukkeri\, Department of Plant
  Science\n\nFusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a devastating and dreadful disea
 se of wheat (Triticum aestivum L)\, which not only reduces the yield but a
 lso\, affects the grain quality by contaminating with health hazardous myc
 otoxins. Resistance to FHB in wheat is quantitative in nature\, and have l
 ed to the identification of several quantitative trait loci (QTL)\, indica
 ting the additive effects of several genes in governing the resistance. Th
 ough\, more than hundred QTL are identified in wheat conferring FHB resist
 ance\, genetic controls underlying them are still unknown.  The QTL-Fhb5 i
 s one of the major FHB resistant QTL conferring high spikelet resistance a
 nd has been consistently mapped using different mapping populations in var
 ious environments. However\, the gene(s) underlying QTL-Fhb5 conferring re
 sistance and the resistance mechanisms are not elucidated. In our study\, 
 we made an attempt to dissect QTL-Fhb5 and functionally characterize using
  integrated metabolo-genomics approach to identify the putative candidate 
 gene(s) and the plausible mechanisms of resistance.\n\nEveryone in the McG
 ill community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in c
 elebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n
