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. ... -
Dissecting the Mystery Behind the Rpg5 Mediated Puccinia graminis Resistance in Barley Using Genetics, Molecular and Bioinformatics Approaches
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Barley rpg4/Rpg5 locus harbors three tightly linked genes, two NLRs Rpg5 and HvRga1, and HvAdf3, togather providing resistance against Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, causal agent of wheat stem rust including race TTKSK, ... -
Downy Mildew of Sunflowers: Establishment of Baseline Sensitivity to Azoxystrobin and Monitoring for the Development of Fungicide Resistance and Plasmopara Halstedii Virulence Phenotype Changes
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara halstedii (Farl.) Berl. and de Toni, is an economically important disease in cultivated sunflowers, Helianthus annuus L. The objectives of this study were to determine disease pressure ... -
The Effect of Substitution of Cytoplasmic Organelles on the Responses of Wheat to Foliar Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Parastagonospora nodorum and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis are foliar pathogens of wheat, capable of causing up to 50% yield losses, and reduced grain quantity and quality, by infecting wheat leaves and kernels. The most ... -
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 ... -
Effectors and Effector Delivery in Magnaporthe Oryzae
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most destructive rice diseases. All plant parts can be affected including leaves, leaf collars, necks, panicles, pedicels, and seeds. The disease symptoms ... -
Efficacy of Seed Treatments and In-Furrow Fungicides for Management of Dry Bean Root Rot Caused by Rhizoctonia Solani and Fusarium Solani, and Field Pea Root Rot Caused by Fusarium Avenaceum and Fusarium Solani
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Dry bean and field pea root rots have resulted in substantial yield losses in North Dakota. Root rot symptoms range from small lesions to complete root destruction. Traditional management practices such as seed treatment ... -
Ellucidation of RPG4/RPG5-Mediated Resistance Against Wheat Stem Rust in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a major threat to barley and caused devastating reductions in yield and economic losses. The barley line Q21861 was identified as the best source of ... -
