Adaptation of Quality Protein Maize (Zea Mays L.) to Northern U.S. Corn Belt
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
There is a need to increase the value of crops and develop the next generation of healthier
products. Quality protein maize (Zea mays L.) is an option but has never been adapted to short –
season environments. Quality ...
Influence of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Seedling Grafting on Plant Growth, Fruit Yield and Quality, and Disease Tolerance
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Influence of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedling grafting on the plant growth, fruit yield and quality, and disease tolerance were investigated using 3 cultivars (Big Beef, Celebrity, Cannonball) as scions and two ...
H13 Efficacy as a Spring Cereal Crop Herbicide
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
H13 is an experimental herbicide that has activity on both broadleaf and grass weeds. This project evaluated H13 efficacy as a spring cereal herbicide by determining H13 site of entry into plants, tolerance of hard red ...
Turf Quality of Creeping Bentgrass Using Foliar Fertilization Tank-Mixed with Sprayable Organic Amendments
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The use of foliar fertilizer applications on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a popular method of achieving quality turfgrass. Tank-mixing foliar products may increase turfgrass quality, reduce amount of ...
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 ...
QTL Analysis for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Tunisian-Derived Durum Wheat Populations
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Durum (2n=4x=28; AABB) wheat is the grain of choice for the production of high-quality pasta products. Fusarium spp. are causal pathogens for Fusarium Head Blight (FHB). Limited host resistance to this disease exists among ...
Genetics and Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping of Septoria Tritici Blotch Resistance, Agronomic, and Quality Traits in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Most breeding programs aim at developing superior germplasm and better cultivars that combine high yield, disease and pest resistance, and end-use quality to satisfy the requirements of the growers as well as industry. A ...
Increasing the Genetic Diversity of U.S. Northern Corn Belt Hybrids with Tropical and Temperate Exotic Germplasm
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The NDSU EarlyGEM or the Early Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (Zea maize L.) is a
long term incorporation program designed to increase the genetic diversity of short season
hybrids. Starting in 1999, exotic GEM breeding ...
Hardwood Floricane Blackberry Cuttings & Production of Primocane Blackberry in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Blackberry (Rubus L. subgenus Rubus, Watson) is not a commercially produced crop in North Dakota since the available floricane cultivars are not winter hardy. Two experiments were performed to evaluate alternative methods ...
Identifying Dry Bean Genotypes and Genomic Regions Associated with Root Rot Resistance with Emphasis on Fusarium Solani F. Sp Phaseoli
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most produced legume in the U.S. and worldwide. Fusarium root rot (FRR) is a widespread soil-borne diseases causing up to 86% yield reduction in beans. Large-seeded cultivars are ...
