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 ... -
Genetic Mapping of Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Streak in Triticale
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa (Xtu), is an important disease of wheat worldwide. The best way to control this disease in the field is the use of resistant cultivars. Although ... -
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, ... -
Genetics of the Host-Pathogen Interaction in the Barley-Net Form Net Blotch System
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Pyrenophora teres f. teres is a fungal pathogen that causes barley net form net blotch. To evaluate the genetics of resistance in barley, a RIL population was developed using resistant barley lines CI5791 and Tifang and ... -
Identification and Characterization of Novel Cercospora beticola Necrosis-Inducing Effectors
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Cercospora beticola is a hemibiotrophic fungus responsible for Cercospora leaf spot disease of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). Plant pathogens such as C. beticola utilize “effector” molecules to aid in disease establishment. ... -
Identification and Genomic Mapping of Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Streak in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) of wheat, caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa, is an important disease of wheat worldwide. Use of resistant cultivars is the most preferred way of managing BLS. The objective of this ... -
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, ... -
Identification of Multiple Virulence Loci in Pyrenophora Teres F. Teres Associated with Net Form Net Blotch in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. teres causes the foliar disease net form net blotch (NFNB) on barley (Hordeum vulgare). To investigate the genetics of virulence in the barley- P. teres f. teres ... -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci for Resistance to Tan Spot in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is a major foliar disease on wheat. The pathosystem involves three pairs of necrotrophic effector (NE) and host sensitivity (S) gene interactions, namely Ptr ToxA-Tsn1, ... -
The Impact of Plant Age, Fungicide Application Methodology and Timing, and Depth of Soil Inoculation on Infection by Rhizoctonia solani on Sugarbeet.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Rhizoctonia root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn), is the most important problem faced by sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) grm.vers in North Dakota and Minnesota. Research was conducted that may be used to manage the ... -
Impacts of Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera Glycines) on Sugarbeet (Beta Vulgaris) and Interactions with Rhizoctonia Solani
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines is in the same genus as the sugarbeet cyst nematode (SBCN) Heterodera schachtii, there has been concern that SCN could also penetrate sugarbeet roots. The objectives were: ... -
Improving Disease Management in Field Pea and Durum Wheat in the MonDak Region
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Results from wilt pathogenicity and race evaluations for 25 North Dakota Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pisi (Fop) isolates conducted in the greenhouse indicated all Fop races exist in North Dakota. Race 2 isolates were more ... -
Inoculation and Spread of Dickeya in Potatoes
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Field experiments were conducted in two different growing environments to evaluate the spread and movement of Dickeya dadantii. A procedure to inoculate seed potatoes with Dickeya dadantii was developed to use during this ... -
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 ... -
Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Field Pea and Potato and their Effect on Plant Growth and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In this study, surveys were conducted in pea and potato fields in North Dakota and Central Minnesota to investigate the incidence and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes in these fields. Moreover, the effect of the pin ... -
