Genetically Dissecting the Recessive Rpg4-Mediated Wheat Stem Rust Resistance Locus in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The rpg4-mediated resistance locus (RMRL) in barley provides recessive resistance against wheat stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) races including the virulent race TTKSK (a.k.a Ug99). Three genes (HvAdfF3, Rpg5, ... -
Evaluation of Winter Wheat Germplasm for Resistance to Stripe Rust and Leaf Rust
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt), and wheat stripe rust caused by P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) are important foliar diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Breeding for disease resistance ... -
Evaluating Chemical Seed Treatments for Fusarium Root Rot Control in Dry Beans and Field Peas
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This study evaluated commercially available seed treatment products for their ability to control Fusarium solani and F. avenaceum, causal agents of root rot in dry edible bean and field peas, respectively, through in-vitro, ... -
Molecular Characterization and Pathogenicity of Sunflower Stem Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production can be limited by several stem diseases. Among these, Phomopsis stem canker causes frequent yield reductions in Australia, Europe and North America. In the U.S., while Diaporthe ... -
Resistance to Septoria Musiva in Hybrid Poplar
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Septoria leaf spot and stem canker, caused by the fungal pathogen Mycosphaerella populorum Thompson (Anamomorph = Septoria musiva Peck). An efficient greenhouse disease resistance screening is essential for the development ... -
Genetic and Molecular Characterization of Genes Involved in Barley-Cochliobolus Sativus Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Spot blotch caused by ascomycete fungus Cochliobolus sativus (Ito & Kurib.) Drechs. ex Dastur. [anamorph: Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoem.] is one of the most common and economically important diseases on barley. To ... -
Sensitivity of Rhizoctonia Solani and Aphanomyces Cochlioides to Fungicides, and Fitness of Tetraconazole-Resistant Isolates of Cercospora Beticola after Exposure to Different Temperature Regimes
(North Dakota State University, 2015)North Dakota and Minnesota produce 55% of USA sugarbeet production. Diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani, Aphanomyces cochlioides, and Cercospora beticola are the major diseases affecting sugarbeet production in North ... -
Characterization of Programmed Cell Death Responses Involved in Disease Resistance/Susceptibility Responses in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The plant innate immune system relies on regulated programmed cell death (PCD) responses which provide resistance against biotrophic fungal pathogens and are utilized by necrotrophic pathogens. The gene-for-gene interactions ... -
Characterizing Pyrenophora Teres F. Maculata in the Northern United States and Impact of Spot Form Net Blotch on Yield of Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Pyrenophora teres f. maculata causes spot form net blotch (SFNB) on barley and was recently documented in North Dakota. The impact of SFNB on barley, the genetic diversity of the pathogen, and virulence structure are unknown ... -
