TL;DR: The frequency distribution of scab severity indicated that resistance to spread of scabs within a spike was controlled by a few major genes, which may help in marker-assisted breeding to improve resistance to scab in wheat.

TL;DR: The percentage of scabbed spikelets and kernels can be generally used to predict DON levels in harvested wheat grain, and 16 wheat lines from various origins that accumulated less than 2 mg/kg DON may be useful as sources for breeding wheat cultivars with lower DON levels.

TL;DR: Three chromosomal regions associated with scab resistance were detected in a common cultivar, Ning7840, by microsatellite and AFLP analysis and it was shown that the major QTL was located in a chromosome region about 8 cM in length around Xgwm533 and Xbarc147.

TL;DR: These markers will provide a solid basis for future efforts in genomic discovery, comparative mapping, and the generation of an oat consensus map, and provide new opportunities for directed breeding of superior oat varieties, and guidance in the maintenance of oat genetic diversity.

TL;DR: This review seeks to summarize information on molecular markers associated with quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to FHB in wheat and barley and the use of those markers for marker assisted selection.
