Exploring Cover Crops for Managing Plant-Parasitic Nematodes Heterodera Glycines and Pratylenchus Penetrans
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Three studies were conducted to assess the effects of cover crops on plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) of potato and soybean. The first study investigated the hosting and population reduction abilities of 25 cover crops to ... -
Factors Affecting Establishment and Growth of Cover Crops in a Corn-Soybean Rotation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In the Midwest, it can be beneficial to interseed cover crops into corn (Zea mays L.) since there is a limited time for them to establish and grow after corn harvest. Research conducted in four environments in North Dakota ... -
Factors Affecting Grapevine Establishment in Northern Production Regions
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Two experiments were conducted to detect differences in growth and cold hardiness during establishment of northern grown wine grapevines. One experiment tested the use of four grow tube treatments and two pruning levels ... -
Factors Impacting Corn Establishment and the Role of Uniform Stand Establishment on Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Information from actual farm fields can help corn producers understand the value and importance of establishing uniform plant emergence and within row plant spacing. Thirty-eight fields planted with corn (Zea mays L.) by ... -
Fate of Deoxynivalenol during Wet Milling
(North Dakota State University, 2018)The fungal disease Fusarium head blight affects cereal grains and can produce mycotoxins, like the water-soluble deoxynivalenol (DON). Wheat wet milling process begins with ground endosperm obtained by dry milling and ends ... -
Flavor Modification of Pea Flour Using Ethanol-Based Deodorization
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Peas are rich in protein and dietary fiber and can be used to create specialty products; however, flavor issues are one of the primary concerns regarding utilization. Sensory evaluations indicated the optimal treatment ... -
Frontenac' Response to Leaf Removal and Training Systems and a Microvinification and Deacidification Bioassay of Interspecific Hybrids (Vitis SPP.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Vineyard production and acid reduction microvinification experiments were conducted on interspecific hybrid grape cultivars in North Dakota. Training system and leaf removal effects on yield and quality for ‘Frontenac’ ... -
Functional Bioactive Compounds from Sweet Potatoes for Human Health Benefits
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Global food and nutritional insecurities, public health challenges of diet-linked non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs), and rapid climate change-linked agricultural production challenges are interconnected and require ... -
Further Characterization of Pathogen Virulence and Genetic Mapping of New Virulence Genes in Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, the Causal Agent of Tan Spot of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes tan spot of wheat, a devastating foliar disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, AABBDD) and durum (T. turgidum ssp. durum L., 2n=4x=28, AABB). ... -
Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in F1 Hybrid Hard Red Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Due to scientific advancement, hybrid wheat may be the future of wheat breeding, but many questions about the hybrid system remain. How hybrids will perform in terms of Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance is one of the ... -
Gene Expression Associated with Wound and Native Periderm Maturation in Potato Tubers
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's fourth largest food crop and large financial losses are incurred each year from wound and bruise related injuries. However, little is known about the coordinate induction of ... -
Genetic Analysis of Frost Tolerance in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica Napus L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Frost can be detrimental to canola (Brassica napus L.) production. Depending on the severity, the entire field can be killed. Having frost tolerance in canola would benefit growers by allowing them to plant early, utilize ... -
Genetic and Environmental Variation on Mineral Nutrient Concentration in Pea and Lentil Seed
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Current food supply is expected to be insufficient to support the growing population both in quantity and nutritional quality; therefore, the need to breed for higher yield and greater nutritional quality is urgent. ... -
Genetic and Phenotypic Assessment of Iron and Folate Concentration in Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medik.)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Micronutrients and vitamins are chemical elements required in trace quantities for normal human growth and development. Micronutrients and vitamin deficiency is prevalent throughout the world. The first objective of this ... -
Genetic and Physiological Relationships between Oat Grain Quality Components
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The use of oats for human consumption is increasing every day due to the health benefits of oat products. With the objective to study relationships among factors affecting oat grain quality, two Recombinant Inbred Lines ... -
Genetic Characterization of Dormancy in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Two populations derived by crossing LDN x LDN Dic-3A (Population I) and LDN x LDN Dic-3B (Population II) were genetically characterized for the seed dormancy present on chromosome 3A and 3B of durum wheat. The genes for ... -
Genetic Dissection and Improvement of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a destructive and complex fungal disease in wheat. Durum wheat, an economically important crop for pasta production, is under the severe impact of FHB. While numerous favorable QTL/genes have ... -
Genetic Dissection and Molecular Approaches of Root Morphology of Canola
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The inheritance of root vigor and days to flowering were studied in the F2 populations derived from winter- and spring-type crosses and their reciprocal crosses. Root vigor was found to be controlled by three genes whereas, ... -
