Efficacy of Seed Treatments and In-Furrow Fungicides for Management of Dry Bean Root Rot Caused by Rhizoctonia Solani and Fusarium Solani, and Field Pea Root Rot Caused by Fusarium Avenaceum and Fusarium Solani
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Dry bean and field pea root rots have resulted in substantial yield losses in North Dakota. Root rot symptoms range from small lesions to complete root destruction. Traditional management practices such as seed treatment ...
Dissecting the Mystery Behind the Rpg5 Mediated Puccinia graminis Resistance in Barley Using Genetics, Molecular and Bioinformatics Approaches
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Barley rpg4/Rpg5 locus harbors three tightly linked genes, two NLRs Rpg5 and HvRga1, and HvAdf3, togather providing resistance against Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, causal agent of wheat stem rust including race TTKSK, ...
Genetic Mapping and Characterization of Net Blotch Dominant Resistance and Dominant Susceptibility Loci in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Net blotch is an economically important foliar disease of barley that occurs in two distinct forms: Spot Form Net blotch (SFNB) and Net Form Net Blotch (NFNB) caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogens Pyrenophora teres ...
Downy Mildew of Sunflowers: Establishment of Baseline Sensitivity to Azoxystrobin and Monitoring for the Development of Fungicide Resistance and Plasmopara Halstedii Virulence Phenotype Changes
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara halstedii (Farl.) Berl. and de Toni, is an economically important disease in cultivated sunflowers, Helianthus annuus L. The objectives of this study were to determine disease pressure ...
Rust Resistance in the Guatemalan Climbing Bean Germplasm Collection
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Common bean is the main source of protein, fiber, and iron for Guatemalan's poorest households; however, bean rust can cause up to 100% yield losses. There is limited information about bean rust in Guatemala, especially ...
Metribuzin Tolerance of Early-Maturing Soybean Genotypes
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Metribuzin is an alternative herbicide to control glyphosate-resistant common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr). Metribuzin has potential to injure soybean. A screening technique to grow ...
Protein-ligand Docking Application and Comparison using Discovery Studio and AutoDock
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Protein-ligand docking is a structure-based computational method, which is used to predict the small molecule binding modes and binding affinities with protein receptors. The goals of this study are to compare the docking ...
Association Mapping and Genetic Diversity Studies of Agronomic and Quality Traits in Durum Wheat [Triticum turgidum L. var. durum (Desf.)]
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Genetic diversity studies in breeding programs are important to identify parental lines for hybridization and introgression of desirable alleles into elite germplasm. The genetic diversity analysis of 283 North Dakota ...
Identification and Validation of a New Source of Low Grain Cadmium Accumulation in Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Subsp. Durum (Defs.))
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with no known biological function. The maximum level of Cd concentration allowed in the international market for wheat grain is 0.2 mg kg-1. Higher Cd levels in durum wheat (Triticum ...
Stochastic Budgeting and Input Breakeven Analysis in North Dakota Potato Production
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Enterprise budgets were developed for non-irrigated red and irrigated russet potato production, based on North Dakota model farms. Costs and revenues vary among producers, thus budgets are intended to serve as a template ...
