Assessment of Bacterial Blight Pathogens Prevalent on Dry Bean and Identification of Sources of Resistance to Rhizoctonia Root Rot in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Bacterial blights and root rots are two major diseases affecting dry edible bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in North Dakota and Minnesota (Venette and Lamey 1998). Bacterial blights of dry bean are commonly caused ... -
Association Mapping and Genetic Diversity Studies of Agronomic and Quality Traits in Durum Wheat [Triticum turgidum L. var. durum (Desf.)]
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Genetic diversity studies in breeding programs are important to identify parental lines for hybridization and introgression of desirable alleles into elite germplasm. The genetic diversity analysis of 283 North Dakota ... -
Association Mapping of Agronomic Traits of Dry Beans Using Breeding Populations
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Genome wide association mapping (GWAS) is an effective method to fine-map QTL because of its higher mapping resolution. In order to evaluate the possibility of using breeding populations for GWAS, analysis were conducted ... -
Association Mapping to Identify Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Genomic Regions Affecting Aggressiveness of Lesion Formation on Sunflower Stems
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most destructive pathogens of sunflower in the United States and worldwide. Distinctive symptoms include mid-stalk rot, basal stalk rot and head rot from subsequent infection of the ... -
Association Studies on Pre-Germination Flooding Tolerance and Cell Wall Components Related to Plant Architecture in Dry Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Dry bean breeding programs have made significant advances in combating both abiotic and biotic stresses as well as improving plant architectural traits via selective breeding. Flooding can cause complete crop loss in dry ... -
Biomass Yield and Nutritive Value of Annual Forage Mixes Compared With Monocrops
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Forage mixes could serve as a cover crop mix to protect the soil during the winter, for prevented planting areas or as a high nutritious feed for grazing livestock. The objective of this study was to determine the nutritive ... -
Biotic and Abiotic Factors Affecting the Survival of Listeria Monocytogenes in Prairie Pothole Soils and Sediments
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The diversity-invasion relationship states that more diverse communities are more resistant to invasion. Listeria monocytogenes – a gram-positive facultative anaerobe, soil saprotroph, and opportunistic human pathogen – ... -
Black Bean Milling and Flour Functionality
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Dry bean utilization by the food industry can be increased by developing value-added processing applications. The goals of this research were to evaluate (1) the effect of milling method on the physical, chemical and ... -
Carbohydrate-Based Micro and Nano Scale Materials from Soybean Meal, Distillers Dried Grains, and Sugar Beet Pulp for Food and other Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Study 1 was carried out to isolate and produce enzyme resistant micro and nano scale carbohydrates from soybean meal (SBM), distillers dried grains (DDG), and sugar beet pulp (SBP). All materials produced were in micro and ... -
Causes of Dull Brown Color in Durum and Traditional Semolina Pasta
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Bleaching of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum [Desf.] Husn.) was evaluated by determining the effect of grain moisture content, temperature, and wet/dry cycles with bulk water and with high relative humidity ... -
Characteristics of Yam Composite Flour: Properties and Function of Bread and Tortilla Making
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Consumer interest in dietary fiber is on the rise as more information about its potential impact on health has become available. Flour from yam (Dioscorea rotundata) could have useful applications in the baking industry, ... -
Characterization and Manipulation of the Wheat B Genome
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Common wheat originated from interspecific hybridization of three diploid ancestors followed by spontaneous chromosome doubling. Aegilops speltoides (genome SS) has been controversially considered a possible candidate for ... -
Characterization of Common Wheat Translocations Carrying Leaf Rust Resistance Genes from Alien Species
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina Erikss may inflict significant yield losses in wheat; however, can be controlled by breeding for increased host resistance. In earlier studies, effective, resistance has been transferred ... -
Characterization of Edible Bean Flours: Properties and Functionality
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Consumption of pulses is considered part of a healthy diet. Therefore, the opportunity exists for development of new pulse-based ingredients. However, a better understanding of their properties is necessary. The compositional ... -
