Facing the increasing problem of Fusarium head blight with durum wheat caused by different species of Fusarium, a study was undertaken with the help of the Ministry in charge for agriculture. This study made it possible to assess the resistance of different sub-species of Triticum turgidum. The populations with the most resistant accessions belong to the sub-species T. turgidum dicoccum. Going deeper into this study showed that this resistance was a type 2 one: slow progression of necrosis after contamination of one spikelet per spike. One accession, TRI2215, exhibited very high level of resistance, but it is very high and very late accession, this will make this accession difficult to be used in breeding. This justifies a QTL search for Fusarium resistance. The analysis of the determinant for Fusarium aggressiveness confirmed that a great part was linked with the production of mycotoxins. Several phenol compounds seemed to play a part in the resistance of the plant. A qualitative analysis of the Fusarium flora on the spikes allowed identifying six major Fusarium species and to associate them with the different mycotoxins. A close genus, Microdochium, did not produce mycotoxins. We also showed that the amount of mycotoxins in an organ was related to the fungus DNA in the organ.
