Characterization of Edible Bean Flours: Properties and Functionality
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Consumption of pulses is considered part of a healthy diet. Therefore, the opportunity exists for development of new pulse-based ingredients. However, a better understanding of their properties is necessary. The compositional ...
Genetic and Physiological Relationships between Oat Grain Quality Components
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The use of oats for human consumption is increasing every day due to the health benefits of oat products. With the objective to study relationships among factors affecting oat grain quality, two Recombinant Inbred Lines ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cloning and Characterization of Meiotic Genes Rec8 and Cdc5 and Subcellular Analysis of Kinetochore Orientation in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Meiosis is a specialized cell division that halves chromosomes and generates haploid gametes in eukaryotes. It is a dynamic cellular process governed by a complex genetic network. Two key players of this network, Rec8 and ...
Development and Characterization of Wheat Germplasm for Resistance to Stem Rust UG99 in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
World wheat production is currently threated by stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) Ug99 race (TTKSK). The ongoing global effort to combat Ug99 is focusing on the identification and deployment of ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
