Characterization of Effector Encoding Genes from the Novel Sugar Beet Pathogen Fusarium Secorum
(North Dakota State University, 2015)A new disease of sugar beet, named Fusarium yellowing decline, was recently found in in the Red River Valley of MN and ND. This disease is caused by a novel pathogen named Fusarium secorum. Pathogens such as F. secorum ... -
Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease threatening wheat production worldwide. Utilization of resistant wheat cultivars is generally considered as the most effective, economic and environmental friendly ... -
Characterization of North Dakota Hard Red Spring Wheat for Stem and Stripe Rust Resistance
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) and Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) are causal agents of devastating wheat stem and stripe rust diseases, respectively. Both diseases sporadically occur in North Dakota (ND), ... -
Characterization of Pea Seed-Borne Mosaic Virus, Efficacy of Foliar Applications for Common Bacterial Blight Management in Dry Beans and Impact of Common Bacterial Blight on Prostrate and Upright Beans
(North Dakota State University, 2018)PSbMV in field pea has resulted in substantial yield and seed quality losses world-wide and has recently been reported in North Dakota. Traditional management of this virus includes preventative measures such as removal ... -
Characterization of Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliense as a Causal Agent of Sugarbeet Soft Rot
(North Dakota State University, 2018)A soft rot decay of sugarbeet was observed in commercial fields in North Dakota and Minnesota from 2012 to 2016. Symptoms reported are similar to those for bacterial vascular necrosis and rot caused by Pectobacterium ... -
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 ... -
Characterization of Sensitivity of Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum Isolates from North Central U.S. to Thiophanate-Methyl and Metconazole
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary causes Sclerotinia stem rot on canola and many other crops of economic importance in the U.S. SSR is primarily controlled with fungicides applied at flowering time. Most fungicides ... -
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 ... -
Cloning and Characterization of rcs5, Spot Blotch Resistance Gene and Pathogen Induced Nec3 Gene Involved in Programmed Cell Death in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Upon sensing pathogens, plants initiating defense responses typically resulting in programmed cell death (PCD). PCD effectively subdues biotrophic pathogens but is hijacked by necrotrophs that colonize the resulting dead ... -
Comparative Population Genetics of Fusarium Graminearum and Novel Sources of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Fusarium graminearum is the major causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereal crops. The fungus produces several types of trichothecenes [Deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetylated derivatives, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol ... -
