Genetics of End-Use Quality Characteristics in Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops consumed by humans around the world. Improving the end-use quality traits is one of the major objectives in wheat breeding programs. However, little is known ... -
Genome-Wide Association Mapping and Genomic Prediction for Resistance to Sclerotinia Stem Rot in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica napus L.) Germplasm Collections
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a devastating disease of rapeseed/canola that causes significant seed yield loss, reduced oil content, and quality. Lack of complete immune genotypes and ... -
Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Host Resistance to Stem Rust, Leaf Rust, Tan Spot, and Septoria Nodorum Blotch in Cultivated Emmer Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Cultivated emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum) is a good source of genes for resistance to several major diseases of wheat. The objectives of this study were to use genome-wide association analysis to detect ... -
Genomic Analysis of Domestication-Related Traits and Stem Rust Resistance in Tetraploid Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Modern durum and common wheat cultivars were developed from ancient wheat ancestors by natural and artificial selection of agronomic and domestication traits, which ultimatey decreased their genetic diversity and made them ... -
Genomic and Molecular Characterization of Pyrenphora teres f. teres
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Pyrenophora teres f. teres is the causal agent of net form net blotch of barley. P. teres f. teres is prevalent globally across all barley growing regions and globally is the most devastating foliar disease of barley. ... -
Genotype and Environmental Effects on Quality Traits of Durum Wheat Grown in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Variation in grain, semolina, dough strength, and pasta quality traits were evaluated using the effect of genotype and weather factors (air temperature, rainfall, and relative humidity). In addition, size exclusion high ... -
Hammer and Roller Milling of Yellow Split Pea
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Blending nutrient-rich pulses into cereal-based convenience foods could benefit consumers and the cereal and pulse industries but first requires appropriate milling of raw pulses, for which there is no standardized method. ... -
Hard Red Spring Wheat Quality Evaluation with Various Roller Mill Types and Breadmaking Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Roller mill type and breadmaking methods might be a source of variation in the evaluation of the end-use quality of Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat. In this study, various roller mill types and baking methods have been used ... -
Homoeologous Recombination-Based Chromosome Engineering for Physical Mapping and Introgression in Wheat and Its Relatives Aegilops speltoides and Thinopyrum elongatum
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Wheat (genome AABBDD) is one of the essential crops, offering approximate 20% of human calorie consumption worldwide. Allopolyploidization of three diploid ancestors led to hexaploid wheat with narrowed genetic variation. ... -
Identification and Genomic Analysis of Stagonospora Nodorum Blotch Susceptibility Genes in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Parastagonospora nodorum is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes the disease Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) on wheat. The fungus produces necrotrophic effectors (NEs), that when recognized by corresponding host ... -
Identification and Introgression of Novel Genes for Stem Rust Ug99 Resistance from Relative Species of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn. (Pgt), is a destructive disease that can cause severe yield losses in wheat. A new Pgt race Ug99 (TTKSK), which was first identified ... -
Identification and Validation of a New Source of Low Grain Cadmium Accumulation in Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Subsp. Durum (Defs.))
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with no known biological function. The maximum level of Cd concentration allowed in the international market for wheat grain is 0.2 mg kg-1. Higher Cd levels in durum wheat (Triticum ... -
Identification of Genomic Regions Associated With Color-Related Traits in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum Desf.) is one of the main crops for human consumption, and it is an essential ingredient for pasta production. The color of pasta can range from bright yellow to dim brown. Pasta ... -
Identification of Molecular Markers for Marker-Assisted Selection of Malting Quality and Associated Traits in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in North Dakota, which ranks second amongst all states for barley production in the United States. Barley is used for the production of malt, which is ... -
Identification of Molecular Markers Linked to X-Disease Resistance in Chokecherry
(North Dakota State University, 2012)X-disease, caused by phytoplasmas, is one of the destructive diseases in stone fruit trees, causing yield loss and poor fruit quality. So far no effective methods are available to control X-disease. X-disease resistance ... -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with a Low Cadmium Uptake Gene in Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Var. Durum)
