Dear readers - we noted an error in the abstract; we will submit a formal correction. But in the meantime to note the correction is that a sentence should read: Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of either TaMPT or TaSAM enhanced the susceptibility of cv. CM82036 to FHB disease, enhancing disease spread (Type II disease resistance).
