Genotype and Environmental Effects on Quality Traits of Durum Wheat Grown in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Variation in grain, semolina, dough strength, and pasta quality traits were evaluated using the effect of genotype and weather factors (air temperature, rainfall, and relative humidity). In addition, size exclusion high ...
Characterization of Genetic Resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Epidemiology of the Disease in Brassica napus L.
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This dissertation contains three research chapters conducted on Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) of canola (Brassica napus L.). This disease is caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and is considered endemic in ...
Altering Grapevine Crop-load and Canopy Architecture Through Cultural and Genetic Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
North Dakota's extremely short growing season leads to premature harvest of unripe, high acid grapes with atypical fruit chemistry. To combat the short growing season, grape growers utilize labor intensive grapevine canopy ...
Homoeologous Recombination-Based Chromosome Engineering for Physical Mapping and Introgression in Wheat and Its Relatives Aegilops speltoides and Thinopyrum elongatum
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Wheat (genome AABBDD) is one of the essential crops, offering approximate 20% of human calorie consumption worldwide. Allopolyploidization of three diploid ancestors led to hexaploid wheat with narrowed genetic variation. ...
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 ...
Developing a New SNP Chip for Genomic Selection in the North Dakota State University Barley-Breeding Program
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The use of Genomic Selection has become popular due to its wide success in private and public breeding programs. The current dissertation aims to derive information that will be used to produce a single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Further Characterization of Pathogen Virulence and Genetic Mapping of New Virulence Genes in Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, the Causal Agent of Tan Spot of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes tan spot of wheat, a devastating foliar disease on both common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, AABBDD) and durum (T. turgidum ssp. durum L., 2n=4x=28, AABB). ...
Black Bean Milling and Flour Functionality
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Dry bean utilization by the food industry can be increased by developing value-added processing applications. The goals of this research were to evaluate (1) the effect of milling method on the physical, chemical and ...
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 ...
Dual Role of Phenolic Bioactives in Improving Functional Health Benefits and Abiotic Stress Resilience in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Food insecurity, climate change, and public health challenges are interconnected and pressing issues facing humanity in the 21st century. Therefore, it is imperative to address key obstacles underlying food and nutritional ...
