Mean FHB-damaged kernels rates (FDK) (left) and total kernels per spike (right) after inoculation of wheat NIL-S with F. graminearum isolates Fg-4-1 and Fg-4-2, and sterile water. Virus-free strain Fg-4-1 shows greater numbers of damaged kernels as well as decreased kernel production when inoculated to wheat heads at 7–28 dpi when compared to FgV1-SD4-infected strain Fg-4-2 inoculation and mock water control.
