Genomic and Molecular Characterization of Pyrenphora teres f. teres
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Pyrenophora teres f. teres is the causal agent of net form net blotch of barley. P. teres f. teres is prevalent globally across all barley growing regions and globally is the most devastating foliar disease of barley. ... -
Using Organic Amendments to Stabilize Sand-based Athletic Fields During Turfgrass Establishment Period
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Athletic field rootzones are often sand-based for improved drainage. Sand-based rootzones may have stability issues if turfgrass is not fully established. Our objective was to use organic amendments to improve the stability ... -
Optimal Seeding Rates for New Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultivars in Diverse Environments
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Seeding rate in hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) production impacts input cost and grain yield. Predicting the optimal seeding rate (OSR) for HRSW cultivars can aid growers and eliminate the need for ... -
Wheat Traits Variations, Associations, and Potential Improvement from Crosses of Elite X Non-Adapted Germplasm
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Wheat improvement most often has been accompanied by a narrowing germplasm base, as newer cultivars have been derived from intercrosses between elite germplasm. However, there is a concern that narrow germplasm may restrict ... -
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 ... -
Ascochyta Rabiei in North Dakota: Characterization of the Secreted Proteome and Population Genetics
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Chickpea is one of the most important leguminous crops grown in regions of southern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States. Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei, is the most important foliar disease ... -
Phenolic Bioactive-Linked Antioxidant, Anti-Hyperglycemic, and Anti-Hypertensive Properties of Serviceberry and Blackberry
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Production and consumption of edible berries are increasing rapidly in the United States, mostly due to their superior flavor profile, and popular diet-related value with their human health relevant bioactives and nutritional ... -
Simulated Hail Damage on Spring Canola (Brassica napus L.): Non-Uniform Stand Reduction and Stem Cut-Off
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Hail damage in canola has been characterized with symptoms such as randomly broken stems and loss of plants. The effect on stand reduction and stem cut-off in canola has yet to be addressed. Two separate experiments, stand ... -
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 ... -
Genetics of Wheat Domestication and Septoria Nodorum Blotch Susceptibility in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)T. aestivum ssp. spelta Iranian type has long been thought to potentially be the direct non-free threshing hexaploid progenitor. I evaluated a RIL population derived from a cross between CS and Iranian spelta accession ... -
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 ... -
Increasing the Genetic Diversity of U.S. Northern Corn Belt Hybrids with Tropical and Temperate Exotic Germplasm
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The NDSU EarlyGEM or the Early Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (Zea maize L.) is a long term incorporation program designed to increase the genetic diversity of short season hybrids. Starting in 1999, exotic GEM breeding ... -
Delineating Root System Architecture in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica napus L.) through Molecular and Transcriptomic Approaches
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Root system architecture of plant plays a key role in water and nutrient uptake from the soil, provides anchorage and acts as a storage organ. In this current research, we have focused on the molecular and physiological ... -
Development of a Molecular Marker to Track APA G40199 Introgression in Common Bean for Bruchid Resistance
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), the main seed storage pests are the bruchid beetles. Damage done to the seed by the larvae has a large impact on seed quality and yield. Arcelin (ARC), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), and ... -
Hammer and Roller Milling of Yellow Split Pea
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Blending nutrient-rich pulses into cereal-based convenience foods could benefit consumers and the cereal and pulse industries but first requires appropriate milling of raw pulses, for which there is no standardized method. ... -
Phenolic-Linked Antioxidant and Anti-Hyperglycemic Properties of Selected Cereal, Pseudo-Cereal, and Millet Using In Vitro Screening Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Improving diversity of food systems by targeting whole grain cereals, pseudo-cereals, and millets is essential to enhance nutritional qualities beyond macro and micronutrient balance and to address emerging global food and ... -
Soybean Seeding Rate and Row Spacing Effects on Plant Establishment and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2018)North Dakota soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] management varies across the state, resulting in yield differences. Eight soybean seeding rates (starting at 197600 and increasing by 49400 live seed ha-1 increments) and row ... -
