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 ... -
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 ... -
Molecular and Histological Study of Sphaerulina musiva-Populus spp. Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Sphaerulina musiva, the causal agent of leaf spot and stem canker, is responsible for critical yield loss of hybrid poplar in agroforestry. This research examined quantification of S. musiva in host tissue, and infection ... -
Sensitivity of Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum Isolates From North Central US to Azoxystrobin and Boscalid
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Azoxystrobin and boscalid are fungicides frequently used to manage diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary in many broadleaf crops in North Central US. . Continued use of these compounds can induce ... -
From Bioinformatics to Identifying R-genes, Enhancers, Signaling Pathways and Pathogen Elicitors in the Barley-Stem Rust Pathosystem
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a threat to wheat and barley. Rpg1 is the only deployed stem rust resistance gene in barley that provides resistance to the predominant races in North America, ... -
Spatial and Temporal Sensitivity of Alternaria Species Associated with Potato Foliar Diseases to Demethylation Inhibiting and Anilino-Pyrimidine Fungicides
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Early blight and brown spot, caused by Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata, respectively, are important foliar diseases of potato, affecting both tuber yield and quality. Most of the commercial cultivars lack ... -
Phenotypic Characterization of Leptosphaeria maculans Pathogenicity Groups Aggressiveness on Brassica napus
(North Dakota State University, 2015)One of the most destructive pathogens of canola (Brassica napus L.) is Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. & De Not., which causes blackleg disease. This fungus produces strains with different virulence profiles (pathogenicity ... -
Rhizoctonia Solani Damping-Off of Sugarbeet: Effect of Plant Growth Stage on Disease Severity and Management Using Penthiopyrad
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Rhizoctonia solani is the most damaging pathogen on sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) in North Dakota and Minnesota. Research was conducted to evaluate penthiopyrad for controlling R. solani and determine when the plants are ... -
Seed to Seedling Transmission of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum in Dry Edible Pinto Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Dry bean anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, is a damaging disease that can cause significant reductions in seed quality and yield. The purpose of this study was to determine the races of C. lindemuthianum ... -
Genetic Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Resistance to Wheat Tan Spot Using Two Bi-Parental Populations
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is an economically important disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum (T. turgidum L. ssp. durum). Genetics of resistance to tan spot is complicated ... -
Evaluation of Genetic Resistance to Common Bacterial Blight in Dry Edible Bean
