Measuring Infant Emotion Regulation within the Still Face Procedure: A Novel Approach to Assessing Regulation Development in the Context of Prenatal Maternal Stress
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
A growing body of literature demonstrates that prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) can influence infant and child outcomes across developmental domains. The timing of PNMS exposure may be particularly important, and late PNMS ...
Mapping and Characterization of Yield Component Traits and Septoria Nodorum Blotch Susceptibility in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Wheat, a major global economic crop and food source, is currently threatened by climate change and the cascading effects, including increased disease pressure. Additionally, wheat yields have not increased significantly ...
Managing Economically Important Diseases of Sunflower and Oilseed Rape in North Dakota, California, and Schleswig-Holstein
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Rust, caused by Puccinia helianthi, and blackleg, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, are economically important diseases on sunflower and oilseed rape, respectively. In order to recommend the most effective disease management ...
