Augmenting Fungicidal Activity of Tetraconazole with Chemosensitization Agents for Cercospora Leaf Spot Management
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cercospora beticola (Sacc.) is the causal agent of Cercospora leaf spot (CLS). CLS is considered to be one of the most destructive foliar diseases of sugar beet in the world. CLS is managed in part through resistant ...
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 ...
Inoculation Techniques, Development of Brassica Napus Breeding Lines and Identification of Markers Associated with Resistance to Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is an economic disease affecting canola (Brassica napus L). Since expression of sclerotinia stem rot symptoms shows much variability and the trait is ...
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 ...
Lung Mucosal Response to Repeated Inhalational Insults with Immunomodulatory Agents in a Murine Model of Fungal Asthma: Airway Epithelium Takes the Center Stage
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Asthma is a debilitating disease of the lungs affecting 235 million people worldwide. Fungus-associated asthma leads to a particularly severe type of disease, and exposure to environmental fungi and their products is ...
Genetic Disruption of VIP Signaling Alters Intestinal Microbial Structure and Immunity
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) regulates clock gene expression in the brain that synchronizes diurnal feeding behaviors in mammals. In the gastrointestinal (GI) tissues, VIP influences host nutrient absorption from ...
Comparative Population Genetics of Fusarium Graminearum and Novel Sources of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Fusarium graminearum is the major causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereal crops. The fungus produces several types of trichothecenes [Deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetylated derivatives, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol ...
Biology and Development of Two Wilt Fungi of Potato: Verticilliam Dahliae and Colletotrichum Coccodes
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The demand for high quality tubers for the frozen processing industry has exerted increased pressure on producers to control diseases that can compromise tuber quality, including, C. coccodes and V. dahliae. Infection of ...
Studies on the Management of Potato Mop-Top Virus-Induced Tuber Necrosis
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Tuber necrosis caused by the Potato Mop-top Virus (PMTV) has become one of the most important tuber necrosis diseases in the United States. PMTV is transmitted by the powdery scab pathogen (Spongospora subterranea f.sp ...
Spatial and Temporal Sensitivity of Alternaria Species Associated with Potato Foliar Diseases to Demethylation Inhibiting and Anilino-Pyrimidine Fungicides
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Early blight and brown spot, caused by Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata,
respectively, are important foliar diseases of potato, affecting both tuber yield and quality. Most
of the commercial cultivars lack ...
