Guiding Self-Assembly of Functionalized Nanoparticles by Computational Modeling of Effective Interactions
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Nanoparticles have attracted much attention because of their unusual physical properties, which allow them to be used in many practical applications. The self-assembly of nanocrystals into crystalline arrays can be facilitated ...
Computational Modeling of Polymer Crowding: Influence of Solvent Quality and Dimensionality on Conformations
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The structure and function of polymers in confined environments, e.g., biopolymers in the cytoplasm, are affected by macromolecular crowding. To explore the influence of solvent quality and dimensionality on conformations ...
Characterization of Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliense as a Causal Agent of Sugarbeet Soft Rot
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
A soft rot decay of sugarbeet was observed in commercial fields in North Dakota and Minnesota from 2012 to 2016. Symptoms reported are similar to those for bacterial vascular necrosis and rot caused by Pectobacterium ...
Characterization of Pea Seed-Borne Mosaic Virus, Efficacy of Foliar Applications for Common Bacterial Blight Management in Dry Beans and Impact of Common Bacterial Blight on Prostrate and Upright Beans
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
PSbMV in field pea has resulted in substantial yield and seed quality losses world-wide and has recently been reported in North Dakota. Traditional management of this virus includes preventative measures such as removal ...
Genetic Disruption of VIP Signaling Alters Intestinal Microbial Structure and Immunity
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) regulates clock gene expression in the brain that synchronizes diurnal feeding behaviors in mammals. In the gastrointestinal (GI) tissues, VIP influences host nutrient absorption from ...
Biofilm Formation of Escherichia coli from Surface Soils is Influenced by Variation in Cell Envelope, Iron Metabolism, and Attachment Factor Genes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Biofilm formation may increase survival and persistence of Escherichia coli in the highly variable conditions of soil environments, though it remains unknown the extent variation in biofilm formation affects survival. We ...
Revisiting Management Practices for Diseases of Spring Barley in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Common barley diseases observed in North Dakota include net blotch, spot blotch, leaf and stripe rust, bacterial leaf streak, and Fusarium head blight. The first objective of this research was to determine the effect of ...
Expression Analysis of the Expanded Cercosporin Gene Cluster in Cercospora beticola
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Cercospora leaf spot is an economically devastating disease of sugar beet caused by the fungus Cercospora beticola. It has been demonstrated recently that the C. beticola CTB cluster is larger than previously recognized ...
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci for Resistance to Tan Spot in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is a major foliar disease on wheat. The pathosystem involves three pairs of necrotrophic effector (NE) and host sensitivity (S) gene interactions, namely Ptr ToxA-Tsn1, ...
Prevalence, Diversity, and Management of Goss’s Leaf Blight (Clavibacter nebraskensis) in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Goss’s wilt and leaf blight (GWLB) (Clavibacter nebraskensis) is a yield-limiting disease of corn (Zea mays L.). Research conducted in other corn growing states have indicated yield losses as severe as 60% on susceptible ...
