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)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The main objective of durum wheat breeding is to identify lines that are low in Cadmium accumulation by using linkage mapping. 178 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from across between Grenora × Haurani were used to ... -
Identifying Dry Bean Genotypes and Genomic Regions Associated with Root Rot Resistance with Emphasis on Fusarium Solani F. Sp Phaseoli
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most produced legume in the U.S. and worldwide. Fusarium root rot (FRR) is a widespread soil-borne diseases causing up to 86% yield reduction in beans. Large-seeded cultivars are ... -
Improved Viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG During Storage and Simulated Gastrointestinal Digestion by Encapsulation
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Probiotics are “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”. However, the current techniques are still struggling with delivering enough live probiotics into the ... -
Improvement of Organoleptic Attributes of Yellow Pea Flour Through An Emerging Green Technology: Supercritical Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol Extraction
(North Dakota State University, 2020)An increasing demand for following healthier eating pattern has created a rapidly growing food market, including more nutrient dense and healthier plant-based foods. Nutrient-dense yellow pea flour is ideal for addressing ... -
Improvement of the Physicochemical Attributes and Antioxidants Profiles from Pulse Seeds through Germination
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Edible pulse seeds are good sources of food ingredients. Germination has been regarded as an effective process to further improve nutrient digestibility and accessibility of pulse seeds. Our aim was to observe the effect ... -
Managing Soybean Cyst Nematode by Utilizing Cover Crops and Resistant Sources from Early Maturing Soybean Accessions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Greenhouse and microplot studies were conducted for understanding the effects of cover crop species/cultivars for hosts and population reduction of soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) from the fields of North ... -
Manufacturing Optimization of Non-Traditional Pasta Products
(North Dakota State University, 2015)A study was conducted to determine the effect of including non-traditional ingredients on the flow and agglomeration properties of flour formulations, the rheological behavior of pasta dough, and the physical and cooked ... -
Metabolite Profiling of Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum) Inoculated with Fusarium Graminearum Utilizing Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time of Flight / Mass Spectrometry
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of wheat is a fungal disease caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum. It has been a persistent worldwide problem for years causing substantial economic losses. Efforts to breed resistance in wheat ... -
Mitochondrial Sequence Diversity Among Alloplasmic and Euplasmic Triticum Species
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Four mitochondrial genomes of Triticum species were sequenced and annotated: 1) (lo) durum mitochondrial genome, which is an alloplasmic line with Triticum longissimum(SS) cytoplasm and T. turgidum (AABB) nucleus, 2) T. ... -
Molecular and Genetic Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of both durum and common wheat. Multiple sources of FHB resistance have been found in common wheat, but not in durum wheat. Lack of effective FHB resistance sources ... -
The Molecular Basis of Demethylation Inhibitor Fungicide Resistance in Cercospora beticola and the Role of Seed Inoculum in Cercospora Leaf Spot Disease of Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is the most destructive foliar disease of sugar beet worldwide. CLS is caused by the filamentous fungus Cercospora beticola. Disease management currently relies upon timely application of fungicides, ... -
Molecular Mapping of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Two Adapted Spring Wheat Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Releasing bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars with resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease can be endangered by narrowing the variation in genetic sources. However, resistance to FHB rely on five different ... -
