Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Effects on Properties of Beta-Glucan from Oat Groats
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Pre-harvest glyphosate is applied to cereal grains to remove weeds. However, it has been claimed that oat compositions are affected by pre-harvest glyphosate. Research was conducted to evaluate differences in properties ...
Influence of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Seedling Grafting on Plant Growth, Fruit Yield and Quality, and Disease Tolerance
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Influence of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedling grafting on the plant growth, fruit yield and quality, and disease tolerance were investigated using 3 cultivars (Big Beef, Celebrity, Cannonball) as scions and two ...
Association Mapping to Identify Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Genomic Regions Affecting Aggressiveness of Lesion Formation on Sunflower Stems
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most destructive pathogens of sunflower in the United States and worldwide. Distinctive symptoms include mid-stalk rot, basal stalk rot and head rot from subsequent infection of the ...
Evaluation of Management Tools for Stripe Rust in Hard Red Spring Wheat and Assessment of Virulence Phenotypes and Aggressiveness in Puccinia striiformis Isolates
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is an economically important foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum). In the last decade, losses from stripe rust in North Dakota (ND) have increased, ...
The Physical Properties and Cookie-Making Performance of Oleogel Made with Refined and Crude Oils
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
In this study, oleogels were prepared with crude plant oils using varying oleogelators. The role of oleogel was compared with refined oil oleogels as well as commercial shortening in the cookie making process. The plant ...
Causes of Dull Brown Color in Durum and Traditional Semolina Pasta
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Bleaching of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum [Desf.] Husn.) was evaluated by determining the effect of grain moisture content, temperature, and wet/dry cycles with bulk water and with high relative humidity ...
Optimal Seeding Rates for New Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultivars in Diverse Environments
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Seeding rate in hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) production impacts input cost and grain yield. Predicting the optimal seeding rate (OSR) for HRSW cultivars can aid growers and eliminate the need for ...
Transfer of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance to Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Fusarium head blight (FHB; caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe) is a serious disease of hard red winter wheat (HRWW) in North Dakota. Current varieties are lacking in resistance. Many resistance quantitative trait loci ...
Molecular Characterization of Root-Lesion Nematode Species from Corn Fields in North Dakota and Evaluation of Resistance in Corn Hybrids
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The molecular characterization of Pratylenchus species determined from D2-D3 of 28S rDNA, ITS of rDNA, and COI of mtDNA regions revealed four Pratylenchus species from North Dakota, P. scribneri, P. neglectus, Pratylenchus ...
Cornus Mas L. Cultivar Selection Based on Hardiness and Propagation
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Cornus mas (Cornelian cherry) is a deciduous shrub/small tree native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. It is unique among the Cornaceae (dogwood) family in that the fruit is used for human consumption and is highly ...
