Start Date: May 21, 2004
End Date: May 20, 2005

Objective:
Clone the gene (or genes) responsible for the major Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL) found on barley chromosome 2(2H).

Approach:
Saturate the target region with molecular markers. Develop isolines with minimal chromosome 2(2H) FHB QTL regions. Develop a physical map of the chromosome 2(2H) FHB QTL region.
