• Wheat Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) evolution with climate change: an ecological modelling approach of competing fungal species

  • Wheat Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) evolution with climate change: an ecological modelling approach of competing fungal species. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the major diseases affecting wheat production with a safety issue. Several fungal species are associated with FHB, belonging mostly to the Fusarium genus. The ANR project EvolTox aims to explore the ecophysiology of the main fungal species involved in FHB disease, their competitive ability, and genetic adaptations to abiotic constraints. Through an in vitro experimental design to examine the differential responses of fungal species and isolates to temperature and water activity conditions, we aim to select appropriate existing models from the literature, adapt and calibrate them. This will allow us to predict fungal growth and toxin production when isolates are grown alone or together under various temperature and water activity conditions. Ultimately, the goal of the EvolTox project is to predict and anticipate the evolution of mycotoxin-associated risks in wheat grown in France in response to climate changes.
