Studies on the Development and Management of Powdery Scab and Root Gall Formation Caused by Spongospora Subterranea on Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The biotroph protozoan Spongospora subterranea causes root gall formation and powdery scab on potato. Symptoms on tubers affect directly the quality and marketability of the harvested product while infection in roots are ...
Characterization and Identification of Genetic Resistance to Puccinia Graminis F. Sp. Tritici in Triticum Aestivum and Hordeum Vulgare
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a major threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) production. The emergence of the highly virulent Ug99-lineage stem rust races ...
Quantitative Genetics of Drought Resistance in Early Maturing Maize (Zea Mays L)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Drought stress is paramount in limiting worldwide maize (Zea mays L.) production and productivity. In addition, drought has limited expansion of maize production to marginal conditions in areas including western North ...
Identification of Molecular Markers for Marker-Assisted Selection of Malting Quality and Associated Traits in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in North Dakota, which ranks second amongst all states for barley production in the United States. Barley is used for the production of malt, which is ...
Genetic Diversity and Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Agronomic, Disease Resistance, and Quality Traits in Barley Accessions from Ethiopia, Icarda, and the U.S.
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Plant breeding is a dynamic process that incorporates new germplasm to introduce genetic variation. Knowledge gained from genetic diversity studies and identification of potentially useful germplasm is critical for efficiently ...
Molecular Mapping of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Two Adapted Spring Wheat Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Releasing bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars with resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease can be endangered by narrowing the variation in genetic sources. However, resistance to FHB rely on five different ...
Rhizoctonia Solani Damping-Off of Sugarbeet: Effect of Plant Growth Stage on Disease Severity and Management Using Penthiopyrad
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Rhizoctonia solani is the most damaging pathogen on sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) in North Dakota and Minnesota. Research was conducted to evaluate penthiopyrad for controlling R. solani and determine when the plants are ...
