(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
