Impacts of Added Roughage on Feedlot Performance, Digestibility, Ruminal Fermentation, and Ruminal pH of Steers Fed Wheat-Based Feedlot Diets
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the inclusion of additional roughage in wheat-based diets containing modified distillers’ grains with solubles on feedlot performance (Study 1) and digestibility, ruminal pH, and ...
Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanotubes in Important Crop Species: Plant Growth and Element Uptake
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have been developed for various uses in the agriculture industry. The effects of ENMs in plant systems are not yet fully understood. Some studies have reported the different effects of ENMs ...
Mapping and Characterization of Yield Component Traits and Septoria Nodorum Blotch Susceptibility in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Wheat, a major global economic crop and food source, is currently threatened by climate change and the cascading effects, including increased disease pressure. Additionally, wheat yields have not increased significantly ...
Homoeologous Recombination-Based Chromosome Engineering for Physical Mapping and Introgression in Wheat and Its Relatives Aegilops speltoides and Thinopyrum elongatum
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Wheat (genome AABBDD) is one of the essential crops, offering approximate 20% of human calorie consumption worldwide. Allopolyploidization of three diploid ancestors led to hexaploid wheat with narrowed genetic variation. ...
Genetic Dissection of Tan Spot Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Tan spot, caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is a major foliar disease in wheat. QTL mapping and meta-QTL analysis are effective methods to understand genetic basis of tan spot ...
