Aminocyclopyrachlor: Weed Control, Soil Dissipation, and Efficacy to Seedling Grasses
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Aminocyclopyrachlor was developed for invasive weed control in non-cropland. Weed control, soil dissipation, and seedling grass tolerance with aminocyclopyrachlor were evaluated in field and greenhouse trials. Weed control ...
Quantitative Genetic Analysis of 16 Maize Populations Adapted to the Northern U.S. Corn Belt
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Genetic diversity is essential for genome sequencing and a key contributor to increase frequency of favorable alleles for maize improvement. The objectives of this study were to determine the genetic components, assess the ...
Molecular and Genetic Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of both durum and common wheat. Multiple sources of FHB resistance have been found in common wheat, but not in durum wheat. Lack of effective FHB resistance sources ...
Management Practices for Improved Winter Survival of Winter Wheat in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Hard red winter wheat (winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L.) production has been
historically low in ND due to cold winter temperatures resulting in winter injury and stand
loss. The objective of this research was to determine ...
Identification of Molecular Markers Linked to X-Disease Resistance in Chokecherry
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
X-disease, caused by phytoplasmas, is one of the destructive diseases in stone fruit trees, causing yield loss and poor fruit quality. So far no effective methods are available to control X-disease. X-disease resistance ...
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 ...
Total Yellow Pigment Content and Oxidative Stress Level during Kernel Development
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The focus of this research was to determine the effects of cultivar and environment on levels of total yellow pigment content and oxidative stress during grain development and in semolina and pasta. Lipoxygenase activity ...
Enhancing Protein Concentration in Hard Red Spring Wheat with Nitrogen Management Based on Plant Predictors
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
In recent years (2009-2011) many producers have had issues meeting the market requirements of 140 g kg-1 of protein concentration in hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell) especially with newer ...
Propagation of American Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K. Koch.)
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
American Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K. Koch) is an underutilized ornamental landscape tree with limited species improvement partially as a result of a lack of a clonal propagation protocol and its slower growth ...
Utilizing Pruning and Leaf Removal to Ripen Grapes and Encourage Cold Tolerance in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Experiments were conducted at North Dakota vineyards in 2011 and 2012. Pruning limited vines to a specific number of primary buds while leaf removal exposed ripening grape clusters to increased sunlight. Variables included ...
