A Novel Macroscopic Technique to Measure the Nanomechanics of Durable Multifunctional Nanosheets
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
In the recent advancement of nanotechnology, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown promise and potential for a wide variety of applications due to their excellent mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. A network of ...
Biology and Management of Fusarium Species on Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Minnesota and North Dakota together produce about 51% of the beet sugar in the United States of America. Fusarium diseases caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. betae and F. secorum on sugar beet cause significant reduction ...
Augmenting Fungicidal Activity of Tetraconazole with Chemosensitization Agents for Cercospora Leaf Spot Management
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cercospora beticola (Sacc.) is the causal agent of Cercospora leaf spot (CLS). CLS is considered to be one of the most destructive foliar diseases of sugar beet in the world. CLS is managed in part through resistant ...
Histology of Spot Blotch Infection in Barley, QTL Mapping of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight, and Characterization of Root Rot Diseases in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Three independent studies were conducted for spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana), Fusarium head blight (FHB) (Fusarium graminearum), and root rot diseases (Fusarium species and B. sorokiniana). Histopathology of compatible ...
Evaluation of Field Pea Varieties for Resistance to Fusarium Root Rot Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Fusarium root rot is one of the most important diseases of pulse crops, with numerous Fusarium spp. comprising the disease complex. Fusarium solani and F. avenaceum have been reported to be major pathogens in the pea root ...
16S Ribosomal RNA and Phylograms: Characterizing Student Reasoning to Learning Outcomes from the American Society for Microbiology Curriculum
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) has established a suggested curriculum for introductory microbiology courses that includes a focus on evolution. However, no data is published to describe how proficiently students ...
Attachment and Biofilm Formation of Foodborne Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Outbreaks of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli are increasingly attributed to fresh produce. Current control measures have been assessed for decades, with no alternatives adopted. Sources were ...
Glycan Triggers of Life Cycle Development in the Apicomplexan Parasite Cryptosporidium
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cryptosporidium is an apicomplexan parasite that causes the diarrheal disease cryptosporidiosis, an infection that can become chronic and life threating in immunocompromised and malnourished individuals. Development of ...
Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease threatening wheat production worldwide. Utilization of resistant wheat cultivars is generally considered as the most effective, economic and environmental friendly ...
Genetics of the Host-Pathogen Interaction in the Barley-Net Form Net Blotch System
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Pyrenophora teres f. teres is a fungal pathogen that causes barley net form net blotch. To evaluate the genetics of resistance in barley, a RIL population was developed using resistant barley lines CI5791 and Tifang and ...
