Evaluation of <i>Brachypodium</i> spp. System Model Against <i>Fusarium poae</i>

Cereal crops are affected by one of the most devastating diseases worldwide, known as Fusarium head blight (FHB), with <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> being the most isolated causal pathogen. Another species associated with this disease is <i>Fusarium poae</i>. This species has b...

description Cereal crops are affected by one of the most devastating diseases worldwide, known as Fusarium head blight (FHB), with <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> being the most isolated causal pathogen. Another species associated with this disease is <i>Fusarium poae</i>. This species has been considered a relatively weak pathogen compared to <i>F. graminearum</i>, but its importance has increased due to its occurrence in cereal grains worldwide. Considering the advantages of using <i>B. distachyon</i> as a plant model and the importance of <i>F. poae</i> in crops, our study aimed to evaluate the potential use of <i>Brachypodium</i> as a plant model to evaluate the compatible interaction with <i>F. poae</i>. Twelve <i>Brachypodium</i> spp. accessions from different countries were inoculated with a selected <i>F. poae</i> set of isolates. Disease severity, conidial quantification, fungal DNA biomass, and nivalenol quantification were assessed. The results showed a compatible interaction between <i>Brachypodium</i> accessions and <i>Fusarium poae</i>, which allowed the use of the model plant for future plant–pathogen interaction studies.
