Oil-Based Food Extracts from Distillers Dried Grains
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The goal of this project was to examine benefits of developing a DDGS-based extract for human food consumption. The antioxidant activity of extracts derived from corn and distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was ...
Soybean Seeding Rate and Row Spacing Effects on Plant Establishment and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
North Dakota soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] management varies across the state, resulting in yield differences. Eight soybean seeding rates (starting at 197600 and increasing by 49400 live seed ha-1 increments) and row ...
Factors Impacting Corn Establishment and the Role of Uniform Stand Establishment on Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Information from actual farm fields can help corn producers understand the value and
importance of establishing uniform plant emergence and within row plant spacing. Thirty-eight
fields planted with corn (Zea mays L.) by ...
Quinclorac and Aminocyclopyrachlor Movement in Sandy Soils of the Sheyenne National Grassland, and Control of Yellow Toadflax with Aminocyclopyrachlor
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Quinclorac and aminocyclopyrachlor leaching potential was evaluated in replicated field conditions in soil from five ecological sites of the Sheyenne National Grassland (SNG). Herbicide concentration was estimated using ...
Cloning and Characterization of Meiotic Genes Rec8 and Cdc5 and Subcellular Analysis of Kinetochore Orientation in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Meiosis is a specialized cell division that halves chromosomes and generates haploid gametes in eukaryotes. It is a dynamic cellular process governed by a complex genetic network. Two key players of this network, Rec8 and ...
Cloning and Characterization of the Iron-Regulated Transporter (IRT) Genes and Their Transcription Factors in Populus
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Iron deficiency causes chlorosis in many plant species, resulting in yield loss and poor quality. Many tree species including poplar are susceptible to iron deficiency. Trees suffering from iron deficiency often show ...
Marker Assisted Backcross Selection for Virus Resistance in Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Viruses are destructive plant pathogens, which cause significant yield loss and reduced grain quality. Pea Seed-borne Mosaic Virus (PSbMV) is an economically important viral disease in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and recently ...
Nitrogen Uptake and Biomass and Ethanol Yield of Biomass Crops as Feedstock for Biofuel
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Nitrogen fertilizers are extensively used to enhance the growth of biomass crops. This study was conducted to determine the effect of N rates on the biomass yield and quality, and N uptake of several crops. The experiment ...
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, ...
