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 ... -
Structurally Diverse Arabinoxylan Hydrolyzates: Their Activity as Immunomodulators and their Effect on Growth of Bacteroidetes
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Arabinoxylan (AX) is a plant polysaccharide which consists of a xylan backbone on which arabinose is substituted. Thirty structurally different wheat arabinoxylan hydrolyzates (AXH) were prepared by means of different ... -
Structure Modification to Enhance Pulse Protein Functions and Flavor Profile Opportunities in Saccharide Mediated Glycation via Maillard-Driven Chemistry
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Owing to the combined characteristics of low allergens and lipids, as well as high versatility and abundance, eco-friendly pulse-based protein has served as a critical contender to supplement animal protein. The inferior ... -
Towards the Development of a Gene-Based Eco-Physiology Model for Common Bean: Genotype by Environment Interactions
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Genotype by environment interactions (GxE) complicate selection in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Crop models can play a valuable role by helping plant breeding programs to better understand GxE. The objectives of ... -
Transfer of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance to Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Fusarium head blight (FHB; caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe) is a serious disease of hard red winter wheat (HRWW) in North Dakota. Current varieties are lacking in resistance. Many resistance quantitative trait loci ... -
Uncovering the Genetic Basis and Characters Association of Wheat Spike-Related, Agronomic and Quality Traits
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Modern wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars are characterized by having spikes with fusiform architecture and rachis nodes with one spikelet. However, genotypes with supernumerary spikelets (SS) in which rachis nodes ... -
Understanding Host Resistance and Pathogen Biology in the Wheat-Fusarium graminearum Pathosystem
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major challenge in global wheat production. In the United States, the disease is predominantly caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum. Utilization of FHB-resistant wheat cultivars integrated ... -
Understanding the Mode of Action of Essential Oil Nanoemulsions to Inhibit Fusarium Growth and Mycotoxin Production in Cereal
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a commonly occurred mycotoxin in cereal-based food, which is mainly produced by Fusarium spp. in the field. It is unfeasible to entirely avoid DON contamination in cereal grains with good agricultural ... -
Unraveling the Genetic Architecture of Agronomic Traits and Developing a Genome Wide InDel Panel in Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is an economically important legume. The agronomic characteristics of this crop such as days to flower, growth habit and seed yield affect breeding strategies. However, little is known about ... -
Unraveling the Genetics of Seed Dormancy in Barley Using Genome-Wide Association and Biparental Mapping
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Seed dormancy is the delay or inability of viable seeds to germinate under favorable conditions. The differential expression of dormancy levels in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seeds impacts malt quality. While dormant ... -
Usefulness of Expired Proprietary (Ex-PVP) Maize (Zea Mays L.) Germplasm for U.S. Northern Breeding Programs
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines and hybrids are protected by U.S. Patent and/or Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA). Protection lasts 20 years and it affects breeding access in a highly confidential and competitive market. ... -
Whole Wheat Milling and Baking Studies of Hard Red Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2016)End product quality of whole wheat bread is affected by many complex parameters. The milling method and chemical composition of bran both affect whole wheat bread quality. When using a centrifugal mill, the combination of ... -
