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 ... -
Pathogenic Variation, Host Specialization and Aggressiveness in Helminthosporium Sativum
(North Dakota State University, 1984)Common root rot, caused by Cochliobolus sativus, is an important disease of spring wheat and barley in the northern Great Plains. While the disease has been widely studied, extensive systematic investigation of pathological ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Sensitivity of Rhizoctonia Solani and Aphanomyces Cochlioides to Fungicides, and Fitness of Tetraconazole-Resistant Isolates of Cercospora Beticola after Exposure to Different Temperature Regimes
(North Dakota State University, 2015)North Dakota and Minnesota produce 55% of USA sugarbeet production. Diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani, Aphanomyces cochlioides, and Cercospora beticola are the major diseases affecting sugarbeet production in North ... -
Studies on the Biology of Soybean Cyst Nematode
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is a threat to soybean production in North Dakota. Studies on the biology of SCN were conducted to improve my understanding and management of this plant parasitic nematode. ... -
Studies on the Development and Management of Powdery Scab and Root Gall Formation Caused by Spongospora Subterranea on Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The biotroph protozoan Spongospora subterranea causes root gall formation and powdery scab on potato. Symptoms on tubers affect directly the quality and marketability of the harvested product while infection in roots are ... -
Studies on the Management of Potato Mop-Top Virus-Induced Tuber Necrosis
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Tuber necrosis caused by the Potato Mop-top Virus (PMTV) has become one of the most important tuber necrosis diseases in the United States. PMTV is transmitted by the powdery scab pathogen (Spongospora subterranea f.sp ... -
Studies on the Population Biology of Colletotrichum coccodes Using AFLP and SCAR Markers
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Black dot is a blemish disease of potato caused by the fungus Colletotrichum coccodes (Wallr.) Hughes. with worldwide distribution. It occurs in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America, and Central ... -
Towards Identifying the Physical and Molecular Components Involved in Resistance to Leaf Rust Pathogen Puccinia Triticina in Wheat and Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Genetic resistance is the preferred method to reduce yield losses caused by many diseases including wheat leaf rust. However, in many cases host resistance seems to be short-lived. For decades, scientists have tried and ... -
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 ...
