Fungal disease meets its match Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by a fungus, reduces wheat crop yield and introduces toxins into the harvest. From the assembly of the genome ofThinopyrum elongatum , a wild relative of wheat used in breeding programs to improve cultivated wheat, Wanget al. cloned a gene that can address both problems (see the Perspective by Wulff and Jones). The encoded glutathioneS -transferase detoxifies the trichothecene toxin and, when expressed in wheat, confers resistance to FHB.Science , this issue p.eaba5435 ; see also p.822
