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 ...
Unraveling the Genetics of Seed Dormancy in Barley Using Genome-Wide Association and Biparental Mapping
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Seed dormancy is the delay or inability of viable seeds to germinate under favorable conditions. The differential expression of dormancy levels in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seeds impacts malt quality. While dormant ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
