3 FHB in Norway Severe FHB epidemics in Norway High levels of mycotoxins in small grained cereals, especially in oats Increased F. graminearum prevalence; major DON producer in Norway Development of specialized cereal production regions and high precipitation Hofgaard et al., 2010 Sundheim et al., 2013 DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SCIENCES 3

4 Poor seed germination a big problem in oats Mycotoxins like DON: Seedling blight Choice of resistant cultivars Norwegian University of Life Sciences 4

5 Trials Breeding trials: Designed by Graminor primarily to identify new varieties that are resistant to FHB Genetic trials To study the resistance genetics of FHB Choice of resistant cultivars Norwegian University of Life Sciences 5
