Genetic Diversity of the Guatemalan Climbing Bean Collections
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Since common bean is the most important legume crop for human consumption around the world, bean breeders are challenged to increase production of beans while facing new problems like climate change. Guatemalan climbing ...
Simulated Hail Damage on Spring Canola (Brassica napus L.): Non-Uniform Stand Reduction and Stem Cut-Off
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Hail damage in canola has been characterized with symptoms such as randomly broken stems and loss of plants. The effect on stand reduction and stem cut-off in canola has yet to be addressed. Two separate experiments, stand ...
Relay-Sowing Soybean Into Established Winter Annual Cover Crops
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Cover crop acreage continues to increase as soil, grazing, and ecosystem benefits become better known. The profit aspect of sustainability could be improved by producing intersown cover crops with an added commodity value. ...
Nitrogen Management in Dry Bean and Soybean
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Legume crops, dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), can form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Nitrogen (N) fertilizer may be necessary for optimal yields. Three ...
Tile Drainage, Beds, and Fe-EDDHA Application Effect on Soybean Production
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Eastern North Dakota has received excessive rainfall events since 1995, and soils are prone to waterlogging. This research evaluated the effects of subsurface tile drainage, raised beds, and iron-chelate (Fe-EDDHA) ...
Marker Assisted Selection Increases the Efficiency of Breeding for Potato Virus Y Resistance in Potato
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Potato Virus Y (PVY) is an important virus of potato due to the non-persistent mode of transmission by aphids causing yield losses. Genetic resistance is the recommended control since insecticides cannot adequately control ...
Delineating Root System Architecture in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica napus L.) through Molecular and Transcriptomic Approaches
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Root system architecture of plant plays a key role in water and nutrient uptake from the soil, provides anchorage and acts as a storage organ. In this current research, we have focused on the molecular and physiological ...
Radiation Hybrid Fine Mapping of Two Fertility-Related Genes: Marking the Path to Wheat Hybrids
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Over one billion people, more than 1/9th of the global population, are undernourished. Feeding the ever increasing population has to be the most important goal of plant sciences. Since cultivated areas are not likely to ...
Agronomic Practices that Impact Grain Quality Factors of Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Var. Durum Desf.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Durum wheat is a type of wheat primarily used for pasta production. North Dakota is the leading producer of durum wheat in the US with average yields of 2700 kg ha-1. Durum wheat price discounts are common and occur due ...
Roles of the TSN1 and TSC2 Genes in Conferring Susceptibility of Durum Wheat to Tan Spot and Septoria Nodorum Blotch
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Tan spot is an important disease caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora triticirepentis.
Two common necrotrophic effectors produced by this fungus are Ptr ToxA and Ptr
ToxB, which recognize host sensitivity genes ...
