Parasitic Fitness of SDHI-Sensitive and -Resistant Isolates of Alternaria Solani
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Early blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is caused by Alternaria solani Sorauer. The single-site mode of action chemistries of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) and quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs) have ... -
Genetic Mapping of Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Streak in Triticale
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa (Xtu), is an important disease of wheat worldwide. The best way to control this disease in the field is the use of resistant cultivars. Although ... -
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. -
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 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 ... -
Revisiting Management Practices for Diseases of Spring Barley in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Common barley diseases observed in North Dakota include net blotch, spot blotch, leaf and stripe rust, bacterial leaf streak, and Fusarium head blight. The first objective of this research was to determine the effect of ... -
Expression Analysis of the Expanded Cercosporin Gene Cluster in Cercospora beticola
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Cercospora leaf spot is an economically devastating disease of sugar beet caused by the fungus Cercospora beticola. It has been demonstrated recently that the C. beticola CTB cluster is larger than previously recognized ... -
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, ... -
