Identification and Functional Characterization of Necrotrophic Effectors in Parastagonospora Nodorum
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum (teleomorph; Phaeosphaeria nodorum), is the causal agent of Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) on common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.). ... -
Identification and Genomic Analysis of Stagonospora Nodorum Blotch Susceptibility Genes in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Parastagonospora nodorum is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes the disease Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) on wheat. The fungus produces necrotrophic effectors (NEs), that when recognized by corresponding host ... -
Identification and Genomic Mapping of Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Streak in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) of wheat, caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa, is an important disease of wheat worldwide. Use of resistant cultivars is the most preferred way of managing BLS. The objective of this ... -
Identification and Introgression of Novel Genes for Stem Rust Ug99 Resistance from Relative Species of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn. (Pgt), is a destructive disease that can cause severe yield losses in wheat. A new Pgt race Ug99 (TTKSK), which was first identified ... -
Identification and Validation of a New Source of Low Grain Cadmium Accumulation in Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Subsp. Durum (Defs.))
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with no known biological function. The maximum level of Cd concentration allowed in the international market for wheat grain is 0.2 mg kg-1. Higher Cd levels in durum wheat (Triticum ... -
Identification Inducement Strategies used by North Dakota State University to Recruit and Retain Multicultural Graduate Students
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The desire to attract an increasing number of minorities is pushing institutions of higher learning to brand themselves and communicate with students in ways that ensure their identification with the institution. Students' ... -
Identification of Active Sites in Heterogeneous Catalysis and Surface Chemistry Study of Alkanes Adsorption
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Heterogeneous catalysis is considered the basis of the chemical industry. Surface science investigations on model catalysts have made significant contributions in gaining molecular level understanding of heterogeneously ... -
Identification of Aptamer Specific for Carcinoembryonic Antigen and its Analytical Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is an approved cancer biomarker by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the early detection, diagnosis, and for the use in the regular screening of patients at high risk for the development ... -
Identification of Brassica Napus L. Sources of Resistance Against Blackleg (Leptosphaeria Maculans)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Blackleg, caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. et de Not. [anamorph = Phoma lingam (Tode: Fr.) Desm.] has become the most important disease affecting canola around the world. A study was conducted to ... -
Identification of Delamination Defects in CFRP Materials through Lamb Wave Responses
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Delamination is currently a largely undetectable form of damage in composite laminate materials. This thesis will develop a method to more easily detect delamination damage within composite materials. Using finite element ... -
Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes and Gene Sets Using a Modified Q-Value
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Gene expression technologies allow expression levels to be compared across treatments for thousands of genes simultaneously. Statistical methods exist for identifying differentially expressed (DE) genes and gene sets while ... -
Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes When the Distribution of Effect Sizes is Asymmetric in Two Class Experiments
(North Dakota State University, 2017)High-throughput RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has emerged as an innovative and powerful technology for detecting differentially expressed genes (DE) across different conditions. Unlike continuous microarray data, RNA-Seq data ... -
Identification of Disordered Eating Behaviors in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Type 1 diabetes is a life-long chronic condition that typically presents in childhood, and approximately 193,000 Americans under age 20 are estimated to have either Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes. Additionally, approximately ... -
Identification of Factors Contributing to Traffic Fatalities in the United States
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Traffic accidents not only cause injuries and deaths but also result in significant property and economic losses. With annual 40,000 lives lost in United States and $80 billion in economic losses, research in minimizing ... -
