Characterizing Late Blight Resistance of Parental Genotypes Used in the North Dakota State University Potato Breeding Program
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The potato is an important food crop, and late blight is a potato disease costing growers millions of dollars. Utilizing cultivars with late blight resistance is the longest-term option to manage the disease. This two-part ... -
Cloning and Characterization of Meiotic Genes Rec8 and Cdc5 and Subcellular Analysis of Kinetochore Orientation in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Meiosis is a specialized cell division that halves chromosomes and generates haploid gametes in eukaryotes. It is a dynamic cellular process governed by a complex genetic network. Two key players of this network, Rec8 and ... -
Cloning and Characterization of the Iron-Regulated Transporter (IRT) Genes and Their Transcription Factors in Populus
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Iron deficiency causes chlorosis in many plant species, resulting in yield loss and poor quality. Many tree species including poplar are susceptible to iron deficiency. Trees suffering from iron deficiency often show ... -
Cold Hardiness and Survival of Interspecific Vitis Hybrids
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Cold hardiness and survival of wine grapes in two locations in North Dakota was determined using differential thermal analysis for five cultivars in 2020 and six cultivars from 2020-2021. Phenological data was collected ... -
Combining Cover Crops, Strip Tillage, and Novel Mulches to Manage Weeds in Vegetable Cropping Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Vegetable producers may benefit from integrating living mulches into their operations to manage weeds and improve soil quality. Living mulches, however, can reduce vegetable yield through competition. Here we investigate ... -
Comparative Study on Hulled Wheats Kernel, Flour, Dough Quality and Dietary Fiber Variation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)This study was conducted to evaluate the kernel, flour and dough qualities and dietary fiber content of hulled wheats. Experimental design was separate randomized complete block designs for hulled wheat species with four ... -
Comparison and Standardization of Wheat Pre-Harvest Sprouting Screening Methods, Preliminary Screening of Genomic Panel Lines
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Preharvest sprouting (PHS) in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.) is a significant problem in the United States, with many ways to evaluate it. When unharvested wheat begins to sprout, the grain begins to germinate reducing ... -
Comparison of Two Single Curtain and Two Double Curtain Trellis Systems with Marquette and Petite Pearl Wine Grapes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)A field study was conducted to evaluate the influence of a trellis system, Genova double curtain (GDC), Scott Henry (SH), mid-wire that was vertical shoot positioned (VSP), and high wire cordon (HW), on fruit ripening and ... -
Computational Identification, Phylogenetic and Synteny Analysis of Receptor-Like Kinases “RLK” and Receptor-Like Proteins “RLP” in Legumes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Legumes are considered the second most important family of crop plants after the grass family based on economic relevance. In recent years, the field of legume genomics has expanded due to advancements in high-throughput ... -
Corn Hybrid Response to Skip-Row Planting Configurations and Plant Population in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Management practices are needed for stable com (Zea mays L.) production in drought prone regions of western North Dakota. Analysis of weather data suggests areas like those near Mandan and Hettinger suffer severe drought ... -
Corn-Alfalfa Intercropping with Different Row Spacings
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a staple crop grown mainly by dairy and beef farmers in the Midwest. To determine if seeding alfalfa with corn (Zea mays L.) could increase alfalfa forage yield and nutritive value in the ... -
Cornus Mas L. Cultivar Selection Based on Hardiness and Propagation
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Cornus mas (Cornelian cherry) is a deciduous shrub/small tree native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. It is unique among the Cornaceae (dogwood) family in that the fruit is used for human consumption and is highly ... -
Cover Crops Benefits, Nitrogen Credits, and Yield Effects in Maize and Sugarbeet in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Fall-seeded cover crops (CC) provide soil coverage that prevents soil erosion and reduces NO3-N leaching. It is believed N accumulated in CC biomass is available to the next crop. The main objective of this research is to ... -
Cover Crops Impact on Energy and Forage Crops Productivity in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Forage crops have gained interest as potential source of lignocellulosic feedstock to produce ethanol. More focus is needed on developing cropping systems to improve productivity. This study was conducted to identify the ... -
Cultivation to Supplement Residual Herbicides in Sugarbeet
(North Dakota State University, 2018)The migration of waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) into northern sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) growing regions has prompted sugarbeet producers to utilize inter-row cultivation in their weed management program as no currently ... -
Dark, Hard and Vitreous (DHV) HRS Wheat Kernel Content Effect on Flour and Baking Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Kernel vitreousness is an important grading characteristics of Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat in the U.S., as subclasses vary in the dark, hard and vitreous kernel (DHV) content. This research investigated different subclasses ... -
Debranning Affects Durum Wheat Milling Properties and Semolina Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Wheat can undergo debranning before milling. Debranning involves the removal of the outer bran layer from wheat kernels by friction and abrasion forces. This research was conducted to determine the effect of durum cultivar ... -
