Agronomic Practices that Impact Grain Quality Factors of Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Var. Durum Desf.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Durum wheat is a type of wheat primarily used for pasta production. North Dakota is the leading producer of durum wheat in the US with average yields of 2700 kg ha-1. Durum wheat price discounts are common and occur due ...
Molecular and Histological Study of Sphaerulina musiva-Populus spp. Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Sphaerulina musiva, the causal agent of leaf spot and stem canker, is responsible for critical yield loss of hybrid poplar in agroforestry. This research examined quantification of S. musiva in host tissue, and infection ...
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 ...
Glycoalkaloid Profiling of Potato Genotypes from the North Dakota State University Potato Breeding Program
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Gylcoalkaloids (GA) are plant secondary metabolites that offer pests and disease resistance. Studies show correlation between GA content and CPB resistance. In this study, CPB resistance was assessed in a field trial at ...
Validation of Molecular Markers Associated with Grain Cadmium in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum Desf.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Durum wheat is capable of accumulating cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, in the grain at levels that have been deemed unsafe. Previous studies have identified genetic variation in durum wheat that can be exploited to create ...
Parasitic Fitness of SDHI-Sensitive and -Resistant Isolates of Alternaria Solani
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Early blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is caused by Alternaria solani Sorauer. The single-site mode of action chemistries of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) and quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs) have ...
Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Field Pea and Potato and their Effect on Plant Growth and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
In this study, surveys were conducted in pea and potato fields in North Dakota and Central Minnesota to investigate the incidence and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes in these fields. Moreover, the effect of the pin ...
Development of Management Tools for Sunflower Downy Mildew (Plasmopara Halstedii) and Rust (Puccinia Helianthi)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Downy mildew (Plasmopara halstedii) and rust (Puccinia helianthi) are two economically important diseases of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) in North Dakota. Both diseases are capable of causing significant reductions in ...
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 ...
Game Theory Approach to the Vertical Relationships for U.S. Containerized Imports
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Multi-player interactions and vertical relationships in the U.S. containerized-import shipment market are investigated using game theory approaches. Bi-level programming problems (BLPP) are built to capture the hierarchy ...
