Fusarium head blight （FHB） caused by Fusarium species complex is an important disease of wheat， and its resistance mechanism is complicated. Accurate and reliable phenotyping methods are the premise of genetic improvement of disease resistance. In this paper， we reviewed the resistance types of Fusarium head blight and the advantages and disadvantages of different phenotyping methods， and we also addressed the congruity between resistance types and phenotyping methods. We hope the opinions would be helpful in phenotypic evaluation of different FHB resistance types and genetic improvement of FHB resistance levels in wheat.
