Published purpose
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) disease in wheat causes losses in yield and quality due to production of fungal mycotoxins. Mealworms can feed on mycotoxin-contaminated wheat and grow normally to be used as protein-rich poultry feed. This project will identify the novel detoxification pathway in mealworms and find useful applications.
