Evaluation of Pea Protein and Modified Pea Protein as Egg Replacers
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Native yellow pea (Pisum sativum) protein isolates (PPIs) showed good foaming and emulsifying properties but a poor gelling characteristic. However, this can be corrected by Transglutaminase (TGase) treatment. PPIs were ... -
Early-Season Weed Control in Direct-Seeded Onion (Allium Cepa L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Onion is a poor competitor with early-season broadleaf weeds. In addition, there are no current herbicide labels that allow POST application prior to the onion two-leaf stage in ND and PRE herbicide options provide ... -
Weed Control with Cover Crops in Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Field experiments were conducted near Oakes and Fargo, North Dakota from 2009-2010, and repeated near Carrington, North Dakota from 2010-2011, to evaluate weed control in both irrigated and non-irrigated potato production ... -
Genome Mapping and Molecular Markers for Ascochyta Blight Resistance in Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Ascochyta blight is the most common disease of economic importance in peas (Pisum sativum L.) in North Dakota. Selection based on molecular markers would greatly facilitate identification of resistant varieties. A mapping ... -
Whole-Wheat Flour Milling and the Effect of Durum Genotypes and Traits on Whole-Wheat Pasta Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2017)An ultra-centrifugal mill was evaluated by determining the effect of mill configuration and seed conditioning on particle size distribution and quality of whole-wheat (WW) flour. Ultra-centrifugal mill configured with rotor ... -
Physicochemical Properties of Commercial Gums and their Effects on Processing and Cooking Quality of Nontraditional Pasta
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Processing characteristics and quality of pasta made from durum flour and semolina and the physicochemical properties of commercial gums and their effects on processing and cooking quality of nontraditional pasta was ... -
H13 Efficacy as a Spring Cereal Crop Herbicide
(North Dakota State University, 2012)H13 is an experimental herbicide that has activity on both broadleaf and grass weeds. This project evaluated H13 efficacy as a spring cereal herbicide by determining H13 site of entry into plants, tolerance of hard red ... -
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 ... -
Genetics of End-Use Quality Characteristics in Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops consumed by humans around the world. Improving the end-use quality traits is one of the major objectives in wheat breeding programs. However, little is known ... -
Management Practices for Improved Winter Survival of Winter Wheat in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Hard red winter wheat (winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L.) production has been historically low in ND due to cold winter temperatures resulting in winter injury and stand loss. The objective of this research was to determine ... -
Productivity and Sustainability of Intercropping Systems in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The sustainability and productivity of cropping systems in the northern Great Plains is at risk because food, feed, and energy are produced mainly in very short crop rotations or monocultures. High input agriculture and ... -
Aminocyclopyrachlor: Weed Control, Soil Dissipation, and Efficacy to Seedling Grasses
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Aminocyclopyrachlor was developed for invasive weed control in non-cropland. Weed control, soil dissipation, and seedling grass tolerance with aminocyclopyrachlor were evaluated in field and greenhouse trials. Weed control ... -
Evaluation of a Systematic, Multichemical Program Approach for Wheat Pest Management and Evaluation of a New Fungicde for Tan Spot in Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum. L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Experiments were conducted to evaluate Proceed Plus (prothioconazole & tebuconazole & metalaxyl & clothianidin), bixafen, Prosaro (prothioconazole & tebuconazole), Baythroid XL (beta-cyfluthrin), with ‘Glenn’ and ‘Oklee’ ... -
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 ... -
Integrated Pest Management of Canada Thistle (Cirsium Arvense L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Canada thistle is a clone forming perennial weed that spreads aggressively and is difficult to control. One approach to managing invasive weeds is integrating numerous tactics instead of relying on a single tactic. Therefore, ... -
Radiation Hybrid Fine Mapping of Two Fertility-Related Genes: Marking the Path to Wheat Hybrids
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Over one billion people, more than 1/9th of the global population, are undernourished. Feeding the ever increasing population has to be the most important goal of plant sciences. Since cultivated areas are not likely to ... -
Juneberry (Amelanchier Alnifolia) Micropropagation and Cultivar Evaluation in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)A growth chamber experiment was carried out for ten weeks to reduce post-rooting dormancy in juneberry micropropagation. An RCBD with a split plot arrangement and three replicates were used. Plantlets subjected to 750 mg/L ... -
Nitrogen Uptake and Biomass and Ethanol Yield of Biomass Crops as Feedstock for Biofuel
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Nitrogen fertilizers are extensively used to enhance the growth of biomass crops. This study was conducted to determine the effect of N rates on the biomass yield and quality, and N uptake of several crops. The experiment ... -
Evaluation of Hard Red and White Spring Wheat Genotypes for Tolerance to Pre-Harvest Sprouting
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Each genotype was exposed to controlled PHS conditions for evaluation of susceptibility or tolerance to sprouting, falling number, kernel color, test weight, and yield. The 24 genotypes were grown in replicated trials at ... -
