摘要

Fusarium graminearum,an important fungal pathogen,can cause head blight,seedling blight and crown rot on wheat (Triticum aestivum),stalk rot and ear rot on maize (Zea mays) [1,2].Annually,billions of dollars are lost world widely because of this pathogen with the capability,not only of reducing yields,but also of producing in grains with mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON).U.S.Food and Drug administration proposed that the advisory level for DON in finished wheat products for human consumption is no higher than 1 ppm.So far only moderate level resistance against F.graminearum is available in crop cultivars [3].In-depth understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying F.graminearum colonization of plant tissues may provide novel crop protection strategies.
