Abstract
This research was conducted to evaluate multiple methods and parameters for assessment of varietal resistance of durum wheat against FCR and FHB. Fusarium culmorum was used in three susceptibility tests. Several phenotypic parameters (%GI, AUDPC1, DS, AUDPC2, %TKWloss, %FDK) were measured. Results revealed no significant correlation between the different parameters, except %GI and AUDPC1. This result indicates that in vitro Petri dish test can be used to predict the varietal resistance against the initial seed infection by F. culmorum. This study highlighted the complexity of resistance testing for FCR and FHB, and demonstrated the need to use as many resistance testing protocols as possible.
