ABSTRACT lished with different foci, including conventional breed- ing and FHB resistance improvement [1,3,6-8], the oc- currence scope and the significance of mycotoxins [9,10], the interaction mechanisms between host and patho- gens [11], molecular markers for FHB resistance genet- ics [12], an alien gene library for enhancing resistance [13], and the main available Quantitative traits loci (QTL) [14,15]. To date, there has been no review of the meth- ods for quickly and accurately evaluating genetic resis- tance or for effectively developing new FHB-resistant lines for wheat breeding. Therefore, this article has three objectives: 1) to summarize and update current knowl- edge on FHB, 2) to discuss methods for evaluating re- sistant cultivars and provide suggestions for establishing an evaluation system, and 3) to describe new methods of wheat resistance improvement using the alien gene li- brary. Fusarium head blight, one of the most destructive diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), results in significant economic losses from reduced grain yield and quality. In recent decades, the disease has been frequently recorded, especially under warm and wet climatic conditions. Genetic resistance has engaged plant breed
