Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Interaction Analysis: A Critical Step for Wheat Germplasm Enhancement
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Wheat (Triticum aestivum) possesses the largest set of available alloplasmic lines in either the plant or animal kingdom. These alloplasmic lines consist of novel combinations of wheat cultivar nuclei and cytoplasm, derived ... -
Oil-Based Food Extracts from Distillers Dried Grains
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The goal of this project was to examine benefits of developing a DDGS-based extract for human food consumption. The antioxidant activity of extracts derived from corn and distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was ... -
Optimal Seeding Rates for New Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultivars in Diverse Environments
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Seeding rate in hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) production impacts input cost and grain yield. Predicting the optimal seeding rate (OSR) for HRSW cultivars can aid growers and eliminate the need for ... -
Optimizing Glufosinate for Weed Control in Agricultural Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Weed management is an essential component of production agriculture. While many weed management methods exist today, chemical practices have proven to be the most efficient and are the most widely adopted methods. The ... -
Optimizing Winter Camelina Production as a Cover Crop In North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Winter camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] has gained particular interested from producers and researchers in the northern Great Plains and local production information is critical. Without a correct sowing date plant ... -
Phenolic Bioactive-Linked Antioxidant, Anti-Hyperglycemic, and Anti-Hypertensive Properties of Serviceberry and Blackberry
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Production and consumption of edible berries are increasing rapidly in the United States, mostly due to their superior flavor profile, and popular diet-related value with their human health relevant bioactives and nutritional ... -
Phenolic-Linked Antioxidant and Anti-Hyperglycemic Properties of Selected Cereal, Pseudo-Cereal, and Millet Using In Vitro Screening Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Improving diversity of food systems by targeting whole grain cereals, pseudo-cereals, and millets is essential to enhance nutritional qualities beyond macro and micronutrient balance and to address emerging global food and ... -
The Physical Properties and Cookie-Making Performance of Oleogel Made with Refined and Crude Oils
(North Dakota State University, 2019)In this study, oleogels were prepared with crude plant oils using varying oleogelators. The role of oleogel was compared with refined oil oleogels as well as commercial shortening in the cookie making process. The plant ... -
Physicochemical Properties of Commercial Gums and their Effects on Processing and Cooking Quality of Nontraditional Pasta
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Processing characteristics and quality of pasta made from durum flour and semolina and the physicochemical properties of commercial gums and their effects on processing and cooking quality of nontraditional pasta was ... -
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated by Oil and Gas Drilling and Production Operations Using Grass Species
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Soil contaminated by crude oil or drill cuttings poses a threat to ecosystem. The objective of this study was to test tolerance levels of grass species to drill cuttings and crude oil in seed germination and at the 5-leaf ... -
Postemergence Efficacy of Pyroxasulfone at Different Rates and Timings in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Pyroxasulfone is a VLCFA inhibitor labeled to control grasses and small-seeded broadleaf weeds. Little information is available regarding this herbicide being applied postemergence. Two field experiments were conducted ... -
Potassium Fertilization and Its Impact on Yield, Nutritive Value, Root Reserves, and Winter Hardiness of Alfalfa
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Potassium (K) is an important nutrient for winter hardiness in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). This study determined the effect of K rate and application timing, fall dormancy, and harvest stress on forage yield, nutritive ... -
Pre-Breeding to Combine Diverse Disease Resistance and Agrotype Genes in Hard Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The NDSU hard winter wheat (HWW) breeding program aims to develop improved varieties that are better equipped to cope with the environmental and disease challenges of the northern prairies. To achieve this, it is necessary ... -
Pre-Breeding to Improve Yield and Disease Resistance of Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Challenges to growing winter wheat in North Dakota include winter temperature and disease pressure. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease that necessitates breeding for resistance. In the NDSU breeding program ... -
Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Effects on Properties of Beta-Glucan from Oat Groats
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Pre-harvest glyphosate is applied to cereal grains to remove weeds. However, it has been claimed that oat compositions are affected by pre-harvest glyphosate. Research was conducted to evaluate differences in properties ... -
Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Timing in Oats and Final Oat Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Pre-harvest glyphosate is often applied to cereal crops, such as oats, to insure uniform grain ripeness at harvest. However, some buyers have claimed that this practice negatively affects oat end product quality. Oat samples ... -
Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Use During Wheat Cultivation: Effects on Wheat Chemistry and Human Gut Microbiota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world which is sometimes utilized as a pre-harvest desiccant during wheat cultivation. It inhibits the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme in the shikimic ... -
