Genetic Diversity and Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Agronomic, Disease Resistance, and Quality Traits in Barley Accessions from Ethiopia, Icarda, and the U.S.
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Plant breeding is a dynamic process that incorporates new germplasm to introduce genetic variation. Knowledge gained from genetic diversity studies and identification of potentially useful germplasm is critical for efficiently ...
Molecular and Genetic Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of both durum and common wheat. Multiple sources of FHB resistance have been found in common wheat, but not in durum wheat. Lack of effective FHB resistance sources ...
Nitrogen Effects on Low-Protein and Semidwarf Genotypes for Malting Barley Production in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Producing barley that meets the quality specifications set by the malting and brewing industry can be difficult in western North Dakota growing conditions. Semidwarf and low protein genotypes may help producers of malting ...
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 ...
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 ...
Advanced Cropping Systems for Oil and Biomass Feedstock Production in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Video summarizing a Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
Molecular Mapping of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Two Adapted Spring Wheat Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Releasing bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars with resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease can be endangered by narrowing the variation in genetic sources. However, resistance to FHB rely on five different ...
The Acquisition of Useful Disease Resistance Genes for Hard Red Winter Wheat Improvement
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This study was part of a larger pre-breeding effort to develop new parental materials carrying useful genes for disease resistance and adaptation. Firstly, marker-assisted backcrosses were employed to transfer and pyramid ...
Development and Evaluation of a Greenhouse Testing Procedure for Cold-Hardiness in Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Experiments were conducted to develop a greenhouse test for comparing the cold tolerance of winter wheat genotypes. Winter-survival is a complex trait and in field trials it has low heritability, consequently, selection ...
