Impact of Planting Date, Cultivar, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Fungicide Seed Treatments on Winter Wheat Survival and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Field experiments and greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and fungicides on winter survival, and yield of winter-wheat in North Dakota. The study was conducted as a ...
Dark, Hard and Vitreous (DHV) HRS Wheat Kernel Content Effect on Flour and Baking Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Kernel vitreousness is an important grading characteristics of Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat in the U.S., as subclasses vary in the dark, hard and vitreous kernel (DHV) content. This research investigated different subclasses ...
Identification and Genomic Analysis of Stagonospora Nodorum Blotch Susceptibility Genes in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Parastagonospora nodorum is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes the disease Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) on wheat. The fungus produces necrotrophic effectors (NEs), that when recognized by corresponding host ...
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 ...
Quinclorac and Aminocyclopyrachlor Movement in Sandy Soils of the Sheyenne National Grassland, and Control of Yellow Toadflax with Aminocyclopyrachlor
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Quinclorac and aminocyclopyrachlor leaching potential was evaluated in replicated field conditions in soil from five ecological sites of the Sheyenne National Grassland (SNG). Herbicide concentration was estimated using ...
Uncovering the Genetic Basis and Characters Association of Wheat Spike-Related, Agronomic and Quality Traits
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Modern wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars are characterized by having spikes with fusiform architecture and rachis nodes with one spikelet. However, genotypes with supernumerary spikelets (SS) in which rachis nodes ...
Usefulness of Expired Proprietary (Ex-PVP) Maize (Zea Mays L.) Germplasm for U.S. Northern Breeding Programs
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines and hybrids are protected by U.S. Patent and/or Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA). Protection lasts 20 years and it affects breeding access in a highly confidential and competitive market. ...
Droplet Size Effect on Herbicide Used in Cereals to Control Dicotyledonous Weeds
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of droplet size on the efficacy of translocated and non-translocated herbicides. Translocated and non-translocated herbicides provided similar control when comparing droplet ...
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated by Oil and Gas Drilling and Production Operations Using Grass Species
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Soil contaminated by crude oil or drill cuttings poses a threat to ecosystem. The objective of this study was to test tolerance levels of grass species to drill cuttings and crude oil in seed germination and at the 5-leaf ...
Propagation of American Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K. Koch.)
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
American Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K. Koch) is an underutilized ornamental landscape tree with limited species improvement partially as a result of a lack of a clonal propagation protocol and its slower growth ...
