Response of uzu derivatives of barley cultivars Akashinriki and Bowman (Aka-uzu and Bow-uzu) to Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease caused by Fusarium culmorum . (A) Visualisation of the FHB disease symptoms at growth stage 80. (B) Disease symptoms at growth stage 80 were quantified as the percentage of infected spikelets per head. At harvest, the (C) number of grain per head and the (D) weight of the grain in each head were determined. Bars indicate standard error of mean (SEM) (LSD _0.05 B = 1.3, C = 5, D = 0.11).
