Scanning Electron Microscope Examination of Sugarbeet Flowers and Fruits Infected with Phoma Betae
(North Dakota State University, 1980)There are three natural openings in a mature sugarbeet fruit which serve as avenues of entry for microorganisms: 1) the basal pore which contains dried parenchyma and vascular tissue and is the point where the flower was ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of Winter Wheat Germplasm for Resistance to Stripe Rust and Leaf Rust
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt), and wheat stripe rust caused by P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) are important foliar diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Breeding for disease resistance ... -
Resistance to Septoria Musiva in Hybrid Poplar
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Septoria leaf spot and stem canker, caused by the fungal pathogen Mycosphaerella populorum Thompson (Anamomorph = Septoria musiva Peck). An efficient greenhouse disease resistance screening is essential for the development ... -
Evaluating Chemical Seed Treatments for Fusarium Root Rot Control in Dry Beans and Field Peas
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This study evaluated commercially available seed treatment products for their ability to control Fusarium solani and F. avenaceum, causal agents of root rot in dry edible bean and field peas, respectively, through in-vitro, ... -
Molecular Characterization and Pathogenicity of Sunflower Stem Pathogens
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production can be limited by several stem diseases. Among these, Phomopsis stem canker causes frequent yield reductions in Australia, Europe and North America. In the U.S., while Diaporthe ... -
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, ... -
Identification of Brassica Napus L. Sources of Resistance Against Blackleg (Leptosphaeria Maculans)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Blackleg, caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. et de Not. [anamorph = Phoma lingam (Tode: Fr.) Desm.] has become the most important disease affecting canola around the world. A study was conducted to ... -
Genetic Mapping and Characterization of Net Blotch Dominant Resistance and Dominant Susceptibility Loci in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Net blotch is an economically important foliar disease of barley that occurs in two distinct forms: Spot Form Net blotch (SFNB) and Net Form Net Blotch (NFNB) caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogens Pyrenophora teres ... -
Identification of Host Resistant Effective against the Barley Spot Form Net Blotch Pathogen
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Spot form net blotch (SFNB) caused by Pyrenophora teres f. maculata is a major foliar disease of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) worldwide. SFNB epidemics have recently been observed in major barley producing countries, ... -
Genetically Dissecting the Recessive Rpg4-Mediated Wheat Stem Rust Resistance Locus in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The rpg4-mediated resistance locus (RMRL) in barley provides recessive resistance against wheat stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) races including the virulent race TTKSK (a.k.a Ug99). Three genes (HvAdfF3, Rpg5, ... -
Sensitivity of Rhizoctonia Solani and Aphanomyces Cochlioides to Fungicides, and Fitness of Tetraconazole-Resistant Isolates of Cercospora Beticola after Exposure to Different Temperature Regimes
