Susceptible Crop Response to Soil Residues and Foliar Exposure of Dicamba
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Dry bean, soybean, sugarbeet, and sunflower were tested for tolerance to dicamba residue in soil. Visible injury was seen on dry bean and soybean depending on location, but yield differences were not present. Increasing ... -
Symmetric Protoplast Fusion in Interserial Syringa (Oleaceae) Hybridization
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Few other woody plants embody the preeminence of temperate woody plants in garden cultivation like the lilacs. In spite of their relationship, the trees lack the diversity of cultivated floral forms observed within the ... -
Tile Drainage, Beds, and Fe-EDDHA Application Effect on Soybean Production
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Eastern North Dakota has received excessive rainfall events since 1995, and soils are prone to waterlogging. This research evaluated the effects of subsurface tile drainage, raised beds, and iron-chelate (Fe-EDDHA) ... -
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 ... -
Towards the Development of a Gene-Based Eco-Physiology Model for Common Bean: Genotype by Environment Interactions
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Genotype by environment interactions (GxE) complicate selection in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Crop models can play a valuable role by helping plant breeding programs to better understand GxE. The objectives of ... -
Transfer of FHB Resistance Genes into Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a serious foliar disease of hard red winter wheat (HRWW) in North Dakota. Disease resistance was identified as major component in disease management. First objective of this study is to transfer ... -
Transfer of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance to Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Fusarium head blight (FHB; caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe) is a serious disease of hard red winter wheat (HRWW) in North Dakota. Current varieties are lacking in resistance. Many resistance quantitative trait loci ... -
Triallate Efficacy to Suspected Herbicide Resistant Wild Oat (Avena fatua L.) in Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Herbicide-resistant weed populations have increased because of continuous use of the same grass herbicides. Several collections of wild oat with resistance to ACCase and ALS herbicides have been documented in North Dakota, ... -
Turf Quality of Creeping Bentgrass Using Foliar Fertilization Tank-Mixed with Sprayable Organic Amendments
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The use of foliar fertilizer applications on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a popular method of achieving quality turfgrass. Tank-mixing foliar products may increase turfgrass quality, reduce amount of ... -
Turfgrass Responses and Rootzone Media Characteristics as Affected by Salinity
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Utilization of salt-tolerant species or cultivars is one the most effective methods to address salinity problems in turfgrass management. The relative salt tolerance in 26 commercial creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) ... -
Uncovering the Genetic Basis and Characters Association of Wheat Spike-Related, Agronomic and Quality Traits
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Modern wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars are characterized by having spikes with fusiform architecture and rachis nodes with one spikelet. However, genotypes with supernumerary spikelets (SS) in which rachis nodes ... -
Understanding Host Resistance and Pathogen Biology in the Wheat-Fusarium graminearum Pathosystem
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major challenge in global wheat production. In the United States, the disease is predominantly caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum. Utilization of FHB-resistant wheat cultivars integrated ... -
Understanding the Mode of Action of Essential Oil Nanoemulsions to Inhibit Fusarium Growth and Mycotoxin Production in Cereal
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a commonly occurred mycotoxin in cereal-based food, which is mainly produced by Fusarium spp. in the field. It is unfeasible to entirely avoid DON contamination in cereal grains with good agricultural ... -
Unraveling the Genetic Architecture of Agronomic Traits and Developing a Genome Wide InDel Panel in Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is an economically important legume. The agronomic characteristics of this crop such as days to flower, growth habit and seed yield affect breeding strategies. However, little is known about ... -
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 ... -
Usefulness of Expired Proprietary (Ex-PVP) Maize (Zea Mays L.) Germplasm for U.S. Northern Breeding Programs
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines and hybrids are protected by U.S. Patent and/or Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA). Protection lasts 20 years and it affects breeding access in a highly confidential and competitive market. ... -
Using Mid-Season NDVI Data from Drones to Produce Variable Rate Fertilizer Maps in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Variable rate prescription maps can improve nitrogen use efficiency within a field by directing N applications where it is needed. If NDVI collected with a drone could be used to predict yield, it also could be used to ... -
