Identification and Validation of a New Source of Low Grain Cadmium Accumulation in Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Subsp. Durum (Defs.))
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with no known biological function. The maximum level of Cd concentration allowed in the international market for wheat grain is 0.2 mg kg-1. Higher Cd levels in durum wheat (Triticum ... -
Identification of Genomic Regions Associated With Color-Related Traits in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum Desf.) is one of the main crops for human consumption, and it is an essential ingredient for pasta production. The color of pasta can range from bright yellow to dim brown. Pasta ... -
Identification of Molecular Markers for Marker-Assisted Selection of Malting Quality and Associated Traits in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in North Dakota, which ranks second amongst all states for barley production in the United States. Barley is used for the production of malt, which is ... -
Identification of Molecular Markers Linked to X-Disease Resistance in Chokecherry
(North Dakota State University, 2012)X-disease, caused by phytoplasmas, is one of the destructive diseases in stone fruit trees, causing yield loss and poor fruit quality. So far no effective methods are available to control X-disease. X-disease resistance ... -
Identification of New Sources of Resistance to Anthracnose in Climbing Bean Germplasm from Guatemala
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. and Magnus) Briosi and Cavara is a fungal disease that affects common bean worldwide. Seed yield loses sometimes reach 100% when the seed is infected and environmental ... -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with a Low Cadmium Uptake Gene in Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Var. Durum)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The main objective of durum wheat breeding is to identify lines that are low in Cadmium accumulation by using linkage mapping. 178 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from across between Grenora × Haurani were used to ... -
Identification of Specific Starch Profiles in North Dakota State University Potato Germplasm for Nutritional and Industrial Utilization
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Amylose and amylopectin, the mostly resistant and soluble forms of starch, respectively, are two forms of starch present in the granule. In this study, we examined the effect of a new cooking method, microwave steaming, ... -
Identifying Dry Bean Genotypes and Genomic Regions Associated with Root Rot Resistance with Emphasis on Fusarium Solani F. Sp Phaseoli
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most produced legume in the U.S. and worldwide. Fusarium root rot (FRR) is a widespread soil-borne diseases causing up to 86% yield reduction in beans. Large-seeded cultivars are ... -
Identifying Six-Row Barley Genotypes for Specific Brewer Needs Using a DNA Fingerprint
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Six-rowed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) malt is an important raw material of beer. Each barley cultivar has its own unique malt profile for specific traits. The two biggest brewers in the United States, Anheuser-Busch InBev ... -
Impact of Planting Date, Cultivar, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Fungicide Seed Treatments on Winter Wheat Survival and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Field experiments and greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and fungicides on winter survival, and yield of winter-wheat in North Dakota. The study was conducted as a ... -
Improved Viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG During Storage and Simulated Gastrointestinal Digestion by Encapsulation
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Probiotics are “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”. However, the current techniques are still struggling with delivering enough live probiotics into the ... -
Improvement of Organoleptic Attributes of Yellow Pea Flour Through An Emerging Green Technology: Supercritical Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol Extraction
(North Dakota State University, 2020)An increasing demand for following healthier eating pattern has created a rapidly growing food market, including more nutrient dense and healthier plant-based foods. Nutrient-dense yellow pea flour is ideal for addressing ... -
