Marker Assisted Selection Increases the Efficiency of Breeding for Potato Virus Y Resistance in Potato
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Potato Virus Y (PVY) is an important virus of potato due to the non-persistent mode of transmission by aphids causing yield losses. Genetic resistance is the recommended control since insecticides cannot adequately control ... -
Mechanical and Physical Properties of Biodegradable Wheat Bran, Maize Bran, and Dried Distillers Grain Arabinoxylan Films
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Arabinoxylans are non-starch polysaccharides in the cell walls of cereal crops including maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Arabinoxylans are produced when maize bran, dried distillers grain, and wheat ... -
Metabolite Profiling of Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum) Inoculated with Fusarium Graminearum Utilizing Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time of Flight / Mass Spectrometry
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of wheat is a fungal disease caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum. It has been a persistent worldwide problem for years causing substantial economic losses. Efforts to breed resistance in wheat ... -
Metribuzin Tolerance of Early-Maturing Soybean Genotypes
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Metribuzin is an alternative herbicide to control glyphosate-resistant common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr). Metribuzin has potential to injure soybean. A screening technique to grow ... -
Micropropagation of the Relict Genus Cercidiphyllum (Cercidiphyllaceae)
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Focusing on various aspects of micropropagation with respect to well represented genotypes within Cercidiphyllum, this study is an attempt to broaden the experimental knowledge of the genus. The Tertiary relict Cercidiphyllum ... -
Mitochondrial Sequence Diversity Among Alloplasmic and Euplasmic Triticum Species
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Four mitochondrial genomes of Triticum species were sequenced and annotated: 1) (lo) durum mitochondrial genome, which is an alloplasmic line with Triticum longissimum(SS) cytoplasm and T. turgidum (AABB) nucleus, 2) T. ... -
Molecular and Genetic Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of both durum and common wheat. Multiple sources of FHB resistance have been found in common wheat, but not in durum wheat. Lack of effective FHB resistance sources ... -
The Molecular Basis of Demethylation Inhibitor Fungicide Resistance in Cercospora beticola and the Role of Seed Inoculum in Cercospora Leaf Spot Disease of Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is the most destructive foliar disease of sugar beet worldwide. CLS is caused by the filamentous fungus Cercospora beticola. Disease management currently relies upon timely application of fungicides, ... -
Molecular Characterization of Root-Lesion Nematode Species from Corn Fields in North Dakota and Evaluation of Resistance in Corn Hybrids
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The molecular characterization of Pratylenchus species determined from D2-D3 of 28S rDNA, ITS of rDNA, and COI of mtDNA regions revealed four Pratylenchus species from North Dakota, P. scribneri, P. neglectus, Pratylenchus ... -
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 ... -
