Characterization of Common Wheat Translocations Carrying Leaf Rust Resistance Genes from Alien Species
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina Erikss may inflict significant yield losses in wheat; however, can be controlled by breeding for increased host resistance. In earlier studies, effective, resistance has been transferred ...
Association Mapping and Genetic Diversity Studies of Agronomic and Quality Traits in Durum Wheat [Triticum turgidum L. var. durum (Desf.)]
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Genetic diversity studies in breeding programs are important to identify parental lines for hybridization and introgression of desirable alleles into elite germplasm. The genetic diversity analysis of 283 North Dakota ...
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 ...
Determining Optimum Seeding Rates for Diverse Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Seeding rate for maximum grain yield can differ for diverse hard red spring wheat
(HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and can be derived from a seeding rate response curve.
Six groups of HRSW cultivars with combinations ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Early-Season Weed Control in Direct-Seeded Onion (Allium Cepa L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Onion is a poor competitor with early-season broadleaf weeds. In addition, there are no current herbicide labels that allow POST application prior to the onion two-leaf stage in ND and PRE herbicide options provide ...
Agronomic Studies of Forage Brassicas as Full-Season and Cover Crops for Grazing in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Annual forages represent a good feed resource to extend the grazing season into fall and winter, providing a good quality forage for the livestock, allowing more efficient use of rangeland, and at the same time improving ...
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 ...
