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 ... -
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 ... -
Plant-Parasitic Nematodes on Corn (Zea mays L.) and Soybean (Glycine max L.) in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Four studies were conducted to investigate plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) of corn and soybean in ND. The first study investigated the incidence and abundance of vermiform PPN in ND corn fields in 2015 and 2016. Samples ... -
Fitness and Management of Site-specific Fungicide Resistant Cercospora beticola Isolates from Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by the fungal pathogen Cercospora beticola, is one of the most destructive foliar diseases on sugar beet. It severely affects productivity and profitability of the sugar beet industry. ... -
Resistance Screening and QTL Mapping in Wheat and Triticale Against Root-Lesion Nematode
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Root-lesion nematode (RLN, Pratylenchus neglectus) invades the roots of wheat and causes yield losses throughout the world. Genetic resistance is the most economical and effective means to manage RLNs. The objective of ... -
Determination of Disease Impacts on Sunflower Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Diseases that infect sunflower frequently occur in North Dakota, but the impact they have on yield is unclear. The objectives of this research are to 1) evaluate fungicide efficacy, application timing and yield impact of ... -
Developing a New Inoculation Method, and Evaluating the Potential Biological Control of Rhizoctonia solani by Penicillium pinophilum on Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Rhizoctonia solani causes damping-off, and root and crown rot of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and overwinters as sclerotia and mycelia. Research was conducted to determine how best to produce large quantities of sclerotia ... -
The Effect of Variable Seed-Borne Inoculum Load of Dickeya dianthicola on Performance and Infection of Field Grown Potatoes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Field experiments were conducted at Live Oak, Florida, and Rhodesdale, Maryland, to evaluate the effect of variable seed-borne inoculum load of Dickeya dianthicola on potato plant emergence, plant growth throughout the ... -
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 ... -
Managing Economically Important Diseases of Sunflower and Oilseed Rape in North Dakota, California, and Schleswig-Holstein
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Rust, caused by Puccinia helianthi, and blackleg, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, are economically important diseases on sunflower and oilseed rape, respectively. In order to recommend the most effective disease management ... -
Identification and Characterization of Novel Cercospora beticola Necrosis-Inducing Effectors
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Cercospora beticola is a hemibiotrophic fungus responsible for Cercospora leaf spot disease of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). Plant pathogens such as C. beticola utilize “effector” molecules to aid in disease establishment. ... -
Understanding Programmed Cell Death Pathways by Characterizing Barley Disease Lesion Mimic Mutants
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Programmed cell death (PCD) in plants refers to rapid and localized cell death that occurs as a result of regular biological processes, or in response to infection or injury. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of PCD ... -
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 ... -
Characterization and Detection of Bacterial Pathogens of Common Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Common bacterial blight (CBB) (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) and X. fuscans pv. fuscans (Xff), halo blight (Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola (Psp)), and bacterial brown spot (P. syringae pv. syringae ... -
Development of Quantification and Diagnosis Methods for Cereal Bacterial Leaf Streak Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) has been a major disease on wheat and barley in the Northern Great Plains. It is caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa (Xtu) on wheat and X. translucens pv. translucens (Xtt) on barley. ... -
