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 ... -
Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Interaction Analysis: A Critical Step for Wheat Germplasm Enhancement
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Wheat (Triticum aestivum) possesses the largest set of available alloplasmic lines in either the plant or animal kingdom. These alloplasmic lines consist of novel combinations of wheat cultivar nuclei and cytoplasm, derived ... -
Optimal Seeding Rates for New Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultivars in Diverse Environments
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Seeding rate in hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) production impacts input cost and grain yield. Predicting the optimal seeding rate (OSR) for HRSW cultivars can aid growers and eliminate the need for ... -
Optimizing Glufosinate for Weed Control in Agricultural Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Weed management is an essential component of production agriculture. While many weed management methods exist today, chemical practices have proven to be the most efficient and are the most widely adopted methods. The ... -
Physicochemical Properties of Commercial Gums and their Effects on Processing and Cooking Quality of Nontraditional Pasta
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Processing characteristics and quality of pasta made from durum flour and semolina and the physicochemical properties of commercial gums and their effects on processing and cooking quality of nontraditional pasta was ... -
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated by Oil and Gas Drilling and Production Operations Using Grass Species
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Soil contaminated by crude oil or drill cuttings poses a threat to ecosystem. The objective of this study was to test tolerance levels of grass species to drill cuttings and crude oil in seed germination and at the 5-leaf ... -
Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Use During Wheat Cultivation: Effects on Wheat Chemistry and Human Gut Microbiota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world which is sometimes utilized as a pre-harvest desiccant during wheat cultivation. It inhibits the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme in the shikimic ... -
Prediction of Wort Fermentability in Two-Rowed Barley Genotypes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Fermentability is the parameter that describes the ability of yeast to turn sweet wort into alcohol. As the efficiency of this process is related with alcohol yield, it will regulate the amount of beer produced from a given ... -
Productivity and Sustainability of Intercropping Systems in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The sustainability and productivity of cropping systems in the northern Great Plains is at risk because food, feed, and energy are produced mainly in very short crop rotations or monocultures. High input agriculture and ... -
QTL Analysis for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Tunisian-Derived Durum Wheat Populations
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Durum (2n=4x=28; AABB) wheat is the grain of choice for the production of high-quality pasta products. Fusarium spp. are causal pathogens for Fusarium Head Blight (FHB). Limited host resistance to this disease exists among ... -
Quantitative Genetic Analysis of 16 Maize Populations Adapted to the Northern U.S. Corn Belt
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Genetic diversity is essential for genome sequencing and a key contributor to increase frequency of favorable alleles for maize improvement. The objectives of this study were to determine the genetic components, assess the ... -
Quantitative Genetics of Drought Resistance in Early Maturing Maize (Zea Mays L)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Drought stress is paramount in limiting worldwide maize (Zea mays L.) production and productivity. In addition, drought has limited expansion of maize production to marginal conditions in areas including western North ... -
Radiation Hybrid Fine Mapping of Two Fertility-Related Genes: Marking the Path to Wheat Hybrids
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Over one billion people, more than 1/9th of the global population, are undernourished. Feeding the ever increasing population has to be the most important goal of plant sciences. Since cultivated areas are not likely to ... -
Radiation Hybrid Mapping of Barley Chromosome 3H
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Assembly of the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genome requires high resolution maps for aligning contig-based physical maps along chromosomes. Genetic maps lack accurate information on the physical position of almost half of ... -
Screening of the USDA Core Collection of Common Bean for Reaction to Halo Blight and Identification of Genomic Regions Associated with Resistance
(North Dakota State University, 2016)With only three sources of resistance currently known to race 6 of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (Burkholder) (Psp) which causes halo blight, an important bacterial disease of common bean, there is an urgent need ... -
Selection of Dry Bean Genotypes Adapted for Drought Tolerance in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Drought stress is a production constraint that growers face in the Northern Great Plains. This research was conducted to (1) assess the differences in seed yield due to drought within each one of the three most important ... -
Sensitivity of Alternaria Species to Ten Single-Site Mode of Action Fungicides
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Early blight caused by Alternaria solani and brown spot caused by the small-spored Alternaria spp., Alternaria alternata, Alternaria arborescens, and Alternaria tenuissima are observed annually in midwestern potato production ... -
Strategies for Improving Wheat and Soybean Production Systems in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Planting date (PD), seeding rate (SR), genotype, and row spacing (RS) influence hard red spring wheat (HRSW, Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield. Evaluating HRSW economic optimum ... -
