Detection of Qol Fungicide Resistance and Genomic Analysis for Identification of Polyketide Synthases and Methyltransferases in Ascochyta rabiei
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Ascochyta blight is the most important disease of chickpeas in North America since the fungal pathogen Ascochyta rabiei was introduced to this region in 1986. Ascochyta blight epidemics can cause yield and economic losses ... -
Genomics and Management of Fusarium Root Rot of Field Peas
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Dry Pea or field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important cool season legume crop grown in the United States. Field peas are vulnerable to many diseases of which, soil borne diseases including wilt and root rot are of major ... -
Movement and Accumulation of Candidatus Liberibacter Solanacearum in Potato Plants
(North Dakota State University, 2012)A new disease affecting potatoes was first detected in Mexico in 1993. Affected plants had aerial symptoms similar to those caused by potato purple top and psyllid yellows, but tubers had internal brown discoloration when ... -
Inoculation Techniques, Development of Brassica Napus Breeding Lines and Identification of Markers Associated with Resistance to Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is an economic disease affecting canola (Brassica napus L). Since expression of sclerotinia stem rot symptoms shows much variability and the trait is ... -
Biology and Development of Two Wilt Fungi of Potato: Verticilliam Dahliae and Colletotrichum Coccodes
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The demand for high quality tubers for the frozen processing industry has exerted increased pressure on producers to control diseases that can compromise tuber quality, including, C. coccodes and V. dahliae. Infection of ... -
Developing Management Tools for Sunflower Rust (Puccinia Helianthi)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Sunflower rust, caused by Puccinia helianthi (Schwein), is an economically important disease in North Dakota. Since 2008, sunflower rust incidence and severity have increased. Therefore, a four year study was initiated to ... -
Genetic Structure of Leptosphaeria Maculans Populations in North Dakota and Identification of Genes Associated with Resistance to L. Maculans in Brassica Juncea
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Blackleg, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans is one of the most devastating diseases of canola (Brassica napus) in North Dakota. A study was conducted to characterize prevalence of pathogenicity groups (PG), identify population ... -
Comparative Population Genetics of Fusarium Graminearum and Novel Sources of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Fusarium graminearum is the major causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereal crops. The fungus produces several types of trichothecenes [Deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetylated derivatives, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol ... -
Identification and Characterization of Pythium Spp. on Glycine Max (Soybean) in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The Oomycete Pythium comprises one of the most important groups of seedling pathogens affecting soybean, causing both pre- and post-emergence damping off. Numerous species of Pythium have been identified and found to be ... -
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 ... -
