Genetic Studies of Winter Hardiness in Pisum sativum L.
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is valued for its high protein content and symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The use of pea as a green manure and cover crop in rotations has been increasing. Pea is grown as a winter crop but current ...
Development of a Molecular Marker to Track APA G40199 Introgression in Common Bean for Bruchid Resistance
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), the main seed storage pests are the bruchid beetles. Damage done to the seed by the larvae has a large impact on seed quality and yield. Arcelin (ARC), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), and ...
Efficacy of Current Maize BT Traits Against Corn Rootworms in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Field experiments were conducted to determine the efficacy of current Bt traits in maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids and soil-applied insecticide for corn rootworm (Diabrotica spp.) management. Experiments were conducted as a ...
Characterization of Surfactant Quality and Validation of Standard Water Conditioning Testing
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Adjuvants are products added to pesticide applications to increase pest control. There are many different types of adjuvants designed to solve certain problems. Surfactants are a major class of agricultural adjuvant used ...
Characterization and Manipulation of the Wheat B Genome
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Common wheat originated from interspecific hybridization of three diploid ancestors followed by spontaneous chromosome doubling. Aegilops speltoides (genome SS) has been controversially considered a possible candidate for ...
Genetic Diversity and Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Agronomic, Disease Resistance, and Quality Traits in Barley Accessions from Ethiopia, Icarda, and the U.S.
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Plant breeding is a dynamic process that incorporates new germplasm to introduce genetic variation. Knowledge gained from genetic diversity studies and identification of potentially useful germplasm is critical for efficiently ...
Transfer of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance to Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Fusarium head blight (FHB; caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe) is a serious disease of hard red winter wheat (HRWW) in North Dakota. Current varieties are lacking in resistance. Many resistance quantitative trait loci ...
Solvent Retention Capacity and Quality Parameters of Whole Wheat Flour from Hard Red Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
A relatively new method, solvent retention capacity (SRC), is used to determine flour end-product quality. SRC was designed for soft wheat, which is used for baking cookies. The use of SRC to evaluate Hard Red Spring (HRS) ...
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated by Oil and Gas Drilling and Production Operations Using Grass Species
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Soil contaminated by crude oil or drill cuttings poses a threat to ecosystem. The objective of this study was to test tolerance levels of grass species to drill cuttings and crude oil in seed germination and at the 5-leaf ...
Integrated Pest Management of Canada Thistle (Cirsium Arvense L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Canada thistle is a clone forming perennial weed that spreads aggressively and is difficult to control. One approach to managing invasive weeds is integrating numerous tactics instead of relying on a single tactic. Therefore, ...
