Genetic and Molecular Characterization of Host Resistance and Susceptibility to Pyrenophora Teres F. Teres in Hordeum vulgare
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Pyrenophora teres f. teres, a necrotrophic fungal pathogen and causal agent of net form net blotch (NFNB), is an economically important pathogen of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and has potential to cause significant yield ...
The Effect of Substitution of Cytoplasmic Organelles on the Responses of Wheat to Foliar Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Parastagonospora nodorum and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis are foliar pathogens of wheat, capable of causing up to 50% yield losses, and reduced grain quantity and quality, by infecting wheat leaves and kernels. The most ...
Towards Identifying the Physical and Molecular Components Involved in Resistance to Leaf Rust Pathogen Puccinia Triticina in Wheat and Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Genetic resistance is the preferred method to reduce yield losses caused by many diseases including wheat leaf rust. However, in many cases host resistance seems to be short-lived. For decades, scientists have tried and ...
Effectors and Effector Delivery in Magnaporthe Oryzae
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most destructive rice diseases. All plant parts can be affected including leaves, leaf collars, necks, panicles, pedicels, and seeds. The disease symptoms ...
The Effects of Acetoacetic Acis on Bacterial Growth and Biofilm Formation of Cronobacter Sakazakii, Serratia Marcescens, and Yersinia Enterocolitica
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Prevention of bacterial biofilms is an area of research currently being investigated by many research teams. The ability of a chemical to be incorporated into a material that could be used in a medical or food production ...
Prevalence of Listeria Monocytogenes in the Pre-Harvest Environment: A Landscape Epidemiology Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of the foodborne disease listeriosis. Although the incidence of listeriosis is lower than that of other foodborne diseases, it’s much higher mortality rate makes it a cause for ...
Assessment of Vacuum Steam Pasteurization to Improve Safety and Quality of Low Moisture Foods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Low moisture foods such as grains, seeds, spices and flour are part of our daily diet. While they are rich in bioactive compounds, they can be minimally processed or often consumed raw. Several outbreaks due to Salmonella ...
A Porcine Circovirus Vaccine with Enhanced Capabilities
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a pathogen of swine. Vaccines against PCV2 are available, although none are capable of differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA). Positive and negative DIVA markers were ...
Emerging Infectious Diseases with Vaccination as a Major Control Approach: The Case of the African 2 (Af2) Clonal Complex of Mycobacterium Bovis in Uganda and Pneumococcal Vaccine for Streptococcus Pneumoniae in the United States
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Respiratory infectious diseases are among the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. This paper presents two respiratory diseases, Mycobacterium bovis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which cause significant ...
Genomic Mapping of Leaf Rust and Stem Rust Resistance Loci in Durum Wheat and Use of RAD-Genotype by Sequencing for the Study of Population Genetics in Puccinia Titicina
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Erikss. (Pt), and stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici Erikss. and E. Henn (Pgt), are among the most devastating diseases of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. ...
