Identification of Host Resistant Effective against the Barley Spot Form Net Blotch Pathogen
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Spot form net blotch (SFNB) caused by Pyrenophora teres f. maculata is a major foliar disease of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) worldwide. SFNB epidemics have recently been observed in major barley producing countries, ... -
Identification of Multiple Virulence Loci in Pyrenophora Teres F. Teres Associated with Net Form Net Blotch in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. teres causes the foliar disease net form net blotch (NFNB) on barley (Hordeum vulgare). To investigate the genetics of virulence in the barley- P. teres f. teres ... -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) Associated with Resistance to Initial Infection of Fusarium Head Blight in Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Video summarizing a Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience. -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci for Resistance to Tan Spot in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is a major foliar disease on wheat. The pathosystem involves three pairs of necrotrophic effector (NE) and host sensitivity (S) gene interactions, namely Ptr ToxA-Tsn1, ... -
The Impact of Plant Age, Fungicide Application Methodology and Timing, and Depth of Soil Inoculation on Infection by Rhizoctonia solani on Sugarbeet.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Rhizoctonia root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn), is the most important problem faced by sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) grm.vers in North Dakota and Minnesota. Research was conducted that may be used to manage the ... -
Impacts of Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera Glycines) on Sugarbeet (Beta Vulgaris) and Interactions with Rhizoctonia Solani
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines is in the same genus as the sugarbeet cyst nematode (SBCN) Heterodera schachtii, there has been concern that SCN could also penetrate sugarbeet roots. The objectives were: ... -
Improving Disease Management in Field Pea and Durum Wheat in the MonDak Region
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Results from wilt pathogenicity and race evaluations for 25 North Dakota Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pisi (Fop) isolates conducted in the greenhouse indicated all Fop races exist in North Dakota. Race 2 isolates were more ... -
Improving Management and Understanding of Major Diseases of Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Sugar beet is a sugar-yielding crop, that contributes 25% of the global sucrose production. Economic production of sugar beet is hampered by Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) (Cercospora beticola), Rhizoctonia crown and root rot ... -
Inoculation and Spread of Dickeya in Potatoes
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Field experiments were conducted in two different growing environments to evaluate the spread and movement of Dickeya dadantii. A procedure to inoculate seed potatoes with Dickeya dadantii was developed to use during this ... -
