Suboptimal pre-anthesis water status mitigates wheat susceptibility to fusarium head blight and triggers specific metabolic responses by Larissa Adamik, Paul Samir Dou, Géraldine Philippe, Richard Blanc, Pedro Vásquez-Ocmín, Guillaume Marti, Thierry Langin, Ludovic Bonhomme

“…In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of pre-anthesis water depletion followed by rapid rehydration at inoculation on the expression of FHB-related molecular determinants with emphasis on susceptibility factors and metabolism-related processes. Water depletion altered plant physiology and its effects remained detectable after three days after rehydration, leading to significantly reduced FHB symptoms. …”
