Protein-ligand Docking Application and Comparison using Discovery Studio and AutoDock
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Protein-ligand docking is a structure-based computational method, which is used to predict the small molecule binding modes and binding affinities with protein receptors. The goals of this study are to compare the docking ...
Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in F1 Hybrid Hard Red Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Due to scientific advancement, hybrid wheat may be the future of wheat breeding, but many questions about the hybrid system remain. How hybrids will perform in terms of Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance is one of the ...
Characterization of Common Wheat Translocations Carrying Leaf Rust Resistance Genes from Alien Species
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina Erikss may inflict significant yield losses in wheat; however, can be controlled by breeding for increased host resistance. In earlier studies, effective, resistance has been transferred ...
Genome-Wide Association Study of Heat Tolerance in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica Napus L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Genome-wide association study of heat stress tolerance in rapeseed/canola was conducted in greenhouse, growth chamber, and in the field. A total of 37,539 SNP markers were used in this study. In the greenhouse and growth ...
Association Mapping and Genetic Diversity Studies of Agronomic and Quality Traits in Durum Wheat [Triticum turgidum L. var. durum (Desf.)]
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Genetic diversity studies in breeding programs are important to identify parental lines for hybridization and introgression of desirable alleles into elite germplasm. The genetic diversity analysis of 283 North Dakota ...
Glandular Trichome Evaluation through Scanning Electron Microscopy and the Modified Enzymic Browning Assay
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) ranks fifth in the USA in comparison with other countries regarding potato production. Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say) is a devastating insect pest affecting potato in ...
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 ...
Genetic Dissection of Tan Spot Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Tan spot, caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is a major foliar disease in wheat. QTL mapping and meta-QTL analysis are effective methods to understand genetic basis of tan spot ...
Association Mapping of Agronomic Traits of Dry Beans Using Breeding Populations
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Genome wide association mapping (GWAS) is an effective method to fine-map QTL because of its higher mapping resolution. In order to evaluate the possibility of using breeding populations for GWAS, analysis were conducted ...
Determining Optimum Seeding Rates for Diverse Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Seeding rate for maximum grain yield can differ for diverse hard red spring wheat
(HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and can be derived from a seeding rate response curve.
Six groups of HRSW cultivars with combinations ...
