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 ...
Identification and Genomic Mapping of Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Streak in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) of wheat, caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa, is an important disease of wheat worldwide. Use of resistant cultivars is the most preferred way of managing BLS. The objective of this ...
Genetic Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Resistance to Wheat Tan Spot Using Two Bi-Parental Populations
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is an economically important disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum (T. turgidum L. ssp. durum). Genetics of resistance to tan spot is complicated ...
Rhizoctonia Solani Damping-Off of Sugarbeet: Effect of Plant Growth Stage on Disease Severity and Management Using Penthiopyrad
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Rhizoctonia solani is the most damaging pathogen on sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) in North Dakota and Minnesota. Research was conducted to evaluate penthiopyrad for controlling R. solani and determine when the plants are ...
False Memories in Depression: Vulnerability Factor or Symptom?
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
False memories are sometimes generated when recalling words from lists in which the words are conceptually related. People think of concepts that are associated with the lists but which were never presented. Previous ...
