Early and late responses to Fusarium Head blight in durum wheat: Focus on phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway

Highlights

• Phenylpropanoids pathway is early triggered in resistant genotypes.
• In Purple durum the early infection increase quercetin.
• Chalcone synthase gene was late boosted in stressed pigmented genotype.
• Transcription factor Ppm1is late promoted by infection.
• Purple durum accumulate anthocyanins due to infection.
