Genome Mapping and Molecular Markers for Ascochyta Blight Resistance in Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Ascochyta blight is the most common disease of economic importance in peas (Pisum sativum L.) in North Dakota. Selection based on molecular markers would greatly facilitate identification of resistant varieties. A mapping ... -
Genome Wide Association Study of Basic Fruit Chemistry in the Cold Climate Wine Grapes (Vitis spp.)
(North Dakota State University, 2022)To overcome some of these challenges posed by ND climate, the utilization of native wild Vitis-derived varieties is the best possible option available. Despite advantageous environmental tolerances of native wild Vitis ... -
Genome-Wide Association Mapping and Genomic Prediction for Resistance to Sclerotinia Stem Rot in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica napus L.) Germplasm Collections
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a devastating disease of rapeseed/canola that causes significant seed yield loss, reduced oil content, and quality. Lack of complete immune genotypes and ... -
Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Host Resistance to Stem Rust, Leaf Rust, Tan Spot, and Septoria Nodorum Blotch in Cultivated Emmer Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Cultivated emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum) is a good source of genes for resistance to several major diseases of wheat. The objectives of this study were to use genome-wide association analysis to detect ... -
Genome-wide Association Study and Genomic Prediction for Pod Shatter Resistance in Brassica napus L.
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The release of seeds from a mature dry pod is known as shattering. Pod shattering results in significant yield losses in rapeseed/canola. An experiment was conducted in five environments in 2020 and 2021 under the field ... -
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 ... -
Genome-wide Scan for Loci Affecting Iron Deficieny Chlorosis in Soybean.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Iron deficiency results in iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) in soybean grown in the north central regions of the United States. Soybean plants display a variety of symptoms, ranging from slight yellowing of the leaves to ... -
The Genomic Alteration Landscape of Pancreatic Duct Adenocarcinoma
(North Dakota State University, 2022)By 2030, PDAC is projected to be the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the US. PDAC is a multifactorial disease driven by genomic alterations. Understanding this alteration landscape will both refine the ... -
Genomic Analysis of Domestication-Related Traits and Stem Rust Resistance in Tetraploid Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Modern durum and common wheat cultivars were developed from ancient wheat ancestors by natural and artificial selection of agronomic and domestication traits, which ultimatey decreased their genetic diversity and made them ... -
Genomic Analysis of Septoria nodorum Blotch Susceptibility Genes Snn1 and Snn2 in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Septoria nodorum blotch is a disease of wheat caused by the necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum. In the wheat-P. nodorum pathosystem, recognition of pathogen-produced necrotrophic effectors (NEs) by dominant host ... -
Genomic Analysis of Tan Spot and Stagonospora Nodorum Blotch Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Host-selective toxins, or necrotrophic effectors, are important determinants of disease in both wheat-Stagonospora nodorum and wheat- Pyrenophora tritici-repentis pathosystems. This study describes the identification, ... -
Genomic and Molecular Characterization of Pyrenphora teres f. teres
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Pyrenophora teres f. teres is the causal agent of net form net blotch of barley. P. teres f. teres is prevalent globally across all barley growing regions and globally is the most devastating foliar disease of barley. ... -
Genomic Characterization of Necrotrophic Effector Sensitivity Genes in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The necrotrophic fungal pathogens Parastagonospora nodorum and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis cause the diseases septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) and tan spot, respectively, reducing yield by decreasing the photosynthetic area ... -
Genomic Mapping of Leaf Rust and Stem Rust Resistance Loci in Durum Wheat and Use of RAD-Genotype by Sequencing for the Study of Population Genetics in Puccinia Titicina
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Erikss. (Pt), and stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici Erikss. and E. Henn (Pgt), are among the most devastating diseases of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. ... -
Genomics and Management of Fusarium Root Rot of Field Peas
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Dry Pea or field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important cool season legume crop grown in the United States. Field peas are vulnerable to many diseases of which, soil borne diseases including wilt and root rot are of major ... -
Genotype and Environmental Effects on Quality Traits of Durum Wheat Grown in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Variation in grain, semolina, dough strength, and pasta quality traits were evaluated using the effect of genotype and weather factors (air temperature, rainfall, and relative humidity). In addition, size exclusion high ... -
Genotype-by-Environment Interaction in Sunflowers for the Northern Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Genotype by environment interaction (GxE) is the tendency of the phenotypic performance of two or more plant genotypes in one environment to not be predictive of their relative performance in another environment. To discover ... -
