Cloning and Characterization of Meiotic Genes Rec8 and Cdc5 and Subcellular Analysis of Kinetochore Orientation in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Meiosis is a specialized cell division that halves chromosomes and generates haploid gametes in eukaryotes. It is a dynamic cellular process governed by a complex genetic network. Two key players of this network, Rec8 and ...
Genetic Investigation of Wild Oat with Acetyl-Coa Carboxylase Gene Sequence Variation
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Wild oat (Avena fatua) is a grass weed species that infests cropland. Common post-emergent herbicides for controlling wild oat are those that inhibit acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) and acetolactate synthase (ALS). Variation ...
Development and Characterization of Wheat Germplasm for Resistance to Stem Rust UG99 in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
World wheat production is currently threated by stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) Ug99 race (TTKSK). The ongoing global effort to combat Ug99 is focusing on the identification and deployment of ...
Quantitative Genetic Analysis of 16 Maize Populations Adapted to the Northern U.S. Corn Belt
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Genetic diversity is essential for genome sequencing and a key contributor to increase frequency of favorable alleles for maize improvement. The objectives of this study were to determine the genetic components, assess the ...
Total Yellow Pigment Content and Oxidative Stress Level during Kernel Development
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The focus of this research was to determine the effects of cultivar and environment on levels of total yellow pigment content and oxidative stress during grain development and in semolina and pasta. Lipoxygenase activity ...
Enhancing Protein Concentration in Hard Red Spring Wheat with Nitrogen Management Based on Plant Predictors
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
In recent years (2009-2011) many producers have had issues meeting the market requirements of 140 g kg-1 of protein concentration in hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell) especially with newer ...
Utilizing Pruning and Leaf Removal to Ripen Grapes and Encourage Cold Tolerance in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Experiments were conducted at North Dakota vineyards in 2011 and 2012. Pruning limited vines to a specific number of primary buds while leaf removal exposed ripening grape clusters to increased sunlight. Variables included ...
Mitochondrial Sequence Diversity Among Alloplasmic and Euplasmic Triticum Species
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Four mitochondrial genomes of Triticum species were sequenced and annotated: 1) (lo) durum mitochondrial genome, which is an alloplasmic line with Triticum longissimum(SS) cytoplasm and T. turgidum (AABB) nucleus, 2) T. ...
Differential Response to Foliar Pathogens in Wheat as a Consequence of Cytoplasmic Substitution
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Wheat alloplasmic lines are plants where the cytoplasmic genome of one wheat species was substituted by those of a wild relative, while maintaining the original nucleus. Our project studied differential responses of various ...
Effects of Competitive and Allelopathic Interactions on Field Pea and Soybean under Organic Management
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Experiments were conducted during 2011 and 2012 at Dickinson Research Extension Center (DREC), ND and at Carrington Research Extension Center (CREC) to understand the effects of competitive and allelopathic interactions ...
