Comparative Population Genetics of Fusarium Graminearum and Novel Sources of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Fusarium graminearum is the major causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereal crops. The fungus produces several types of trichothecenes [Deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetylated derivatives, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol ...
Characterization of Sensitivity of Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum Isolates from North Central U.S. to Thiophanate-Methyl and Metconazole
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary causes Sclerotinia stem rot on canola and many other crops of economic importance in the U.S. SSR is primarily controlled with fungicides applied at flowering time. Most fungicides ...
Genetic and Physiological Relationships between Oat Grain Quality Components
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The use of oats for human consumption is increasing every day due to the health benefits of oat products. With the objective to study relationships among factors affecting oat grain quality, two Recombinant Inbred Lines ...
Bracketing NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
This paper presents a new bracketing method for all 63 games in the NCAA Division 1 basketball tournament. This method, based on the logistic conditional probability models, is self-consistent in terms of constructing ...
Robust D-Optimal Design for Response Functions with a Downturn
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Researchers studying dose-response relationships must allocate limited resources to design points in order to maximize the information gained from the study. D-optimal design is a well-described design that works efficiently ...
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with a Low Cadmium Uptake Gene in Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Var. Durum)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The main objective of durum wheat breeding is to identify lines that are low in Cadmium accumulation by using linkage mapping. 178 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from across between Grenora × Haurani were used to ...
Weed Control with Cover Crops in Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Field experiments were conducted near Oakes and Fargo, North Dakota from 2009-2010, and repeated near Carrington, North Dakota from 2010-2011, to evaluate weed control in both irrigated and non-irrigated potato production ...
Cover Crops Impact on Energy and Forage Crops Productivity in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Forage crops have gained interest as potential source of lignocellulosic feedstock to produce ethanol. More focus is needed on developing cropping systems to improve productivity. This study was conducted to identify the ...
Evaluation of a Systematic, Multichemical Program Approach for Wheat Pest Management and Evaluation of a New Fungicde for Tan Spot in Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum. L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Experiments were conducted to evaluate Proceed Plus (prothioconazole & tebuconazole & metalaxyl & clothianidin), bixafen, Prosaro (prothioconazole & tebuconazole), Baythroid XL (beta-cyfluthrin), with ‘Glenn’ and ‘Oklee’ ...
Development of a Prediction Model for the NCAA Division-I Football Championship Subdivision
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
This thesis investigates which in-game team statistics are most significant in determining the outcome in a NCAA Division-I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) game. The data was analyzed using logistic and ordinary ...
