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 ... -
Prevalence of Pathogenicity Groups of the Blackleg Species Complex on Canola in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)North Dakota is the leading producer of canola (Brassica napus) in the United States. Blackleg, caused by two species of Leptosphaeria, L. maculans (Desm.) Ces & De Not and L. biglobosa, is an economically important disease ... -
Plant-Parasitic Nematodes on Sugarbeet in North Dakota and Minnesota
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Field surveys were conducted in the Red River Valley (RRV) of North Dakota and Minnesota during 2016 and 2017 to determine the incidence, abundance, and distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) on sugarbeet. ... -
Population Structure of Uromyces appendiculatus in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2019)North Dakota is the lead producing state of common bean in the USA, accounting for 43% of national production. Bean rust is caused by the autoecious, macrocyclic fungus Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.:Pers.). All pathogen ... -
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 ... -
Screening of Germplasm Accessions from the Brassica Species for Resistance against PG3 and PG4 Isolates of Blackleg
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Blackleg is a disease of canola and rapeseed cultivars that is caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. & de Not., and it is by far the most destructive pathogen of canola in North America. In recent years, ... -
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 ... -
Molecular Genetic Characterization of Ptr ToxC-Tsc1 Interaction and Comparative Genomics of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Tan spot of wheat, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is an economically important disease worldwide. The disease system is known to involve three pairs of interactions between fungal-produced necrotrophic effectors ... -
Prevalence, Diversity, and Management of Goss’s Leaf Blight (Clavibacter nebraskensis) in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Goss’s wilt and leaf blight (GWLB) (Clavibacter nebraskensis) is a yield-limiting disease of corn (Zea mays L.). Research conducted in other corn growing states have indicated yield losses as severe as 60% on susceptible ... -
Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Field Pea and Potato and their Effect on Plant Growth and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In this study, surveys were conducted in pea and potato fields in North Dakota and Central Minnesota to investigate the incidence and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes in these fields. Moreover, the effect of the pin ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Assessing Cereal Aphid Diversity and Barley Yellow Dwarf Risk In Hard Red Spring Wheat and Durum
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Barley yellow dwarf (BYD), caused by Barley yellow dwarf virus and Cereal yellow dwarf virus, and is a yield limiting disease of small grains. A research study was initiated in 2015 to identify the implications of BYD on ... -
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, ... -
