Identification of New Sources of Resistance to Anthracnose in Climbing Bean Germplasm from Guatemala
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. and Magnus) Briosi and Cavara is a fungal disease that affects common bean worldwide. Seed yield loses sometimes reach 100% when the seed is infected and environmental ...
Malting Conditions for Evaluation of Rye Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Malting of rye and use of rye malts presents several challenges to maltsters and brewers, like the lack of a hull and dense packing in steep. While, empirical evidence shows that rye genotypes differ in malting and brewing ...
Genetics of End-Use Quality Characteristics in Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops consumed by humans around the world. Improving the end-use quality traits is one of the major objectives in wheat breeding programs. However, little is known ...
Delayed Harvest Affects Quality of Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Harvest can be delayed for many reasons. This research was conducted to determine the effect of delayed harvest on grain and semolina quality of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum [Desf.] Husn.). Twelve durum ...
Kentucky Bluegrass Growth and Performance As Affected by Salinity and Salt Composition
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Turfgrass growth, development, and functionality are adversely affected by high soil salinity. Most of the previous salinity tolerance research involved NaCl-induced saline conditions. However, there are regions such as ...
Biotic and Abiotic Factors Affecting the Survival of Listeria Monocytogenes in Prairie Pothole Soils and Sediments
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The diversity-invasion relationship states that more diverse communities are more resistant to invasion. Listeria monocytogenes – a gram-positive facultative anaerobe, soil saprotroph, and opportunistic human pathogen – ...
Serviceberry: Potential North Dakota Accessions for the Nursery Industry
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Saskatoon serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.) is an ornamental Rosaceous shrub producing delicate white flowers that yield fruit similar in appearance and nutrition to blueberry (Vaccinium spp.). Most serviceberry ...
Genetic Analysis of Frost Tolerance in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica Napus L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Frost can be detrimental to canola (Brassica napus L.) production. Depending on the severity, the entire field can be killed. Having frost tolerance in canola would benefit growers by allowing them to plant early, utilize ...
Productivity and Sustainability of Intercropping Systems in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The sustainability and productivity of cropping systems in the northern Great Plains is at risk because food, feed, and energy are produced mainly in very short crop rotations or monocultures. High input agriculture and ...
Genetic Diversity of the Guatemalan Climbing Bean Collections
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Since common bean is the most important legume crop for human consumption around the world, bean breeders are challenged to increase production of beans while facing new problems like climate change. Guatemalan climbing ...
