Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Host Resistance to Stem Rust, Leaf Rust, Tan Spot, and Septoria Nodorum Blotch in Cultivated Emmer Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Cultivated emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum) is a good source of genes for resistance to several major diseases of wheat. The objectives of this study were to use genome-wide association analysis to detect ...
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 ...
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 ...
Identification of Molecular Markers for Marker-Assisted Selection of Malting Quality and Associated Traits in Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in North Dakota, which ranks second amongst all states for barley production in the United States. Barley is used for the production of malt, which is ...
Adaptation of Quality Protein Maize (Zea Mays L.) to Northern U.S. Corn Belt
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
There is a need to increase the value of crops and develop the next generation of healthier
products. Quality protein maize (Zea mays L.) is an option but has never been adapted to short –
season environments. Quality ...
Cloning and Characterization of the Iron-Regulated Transporter (IRT) Genes and Their Transcription Factors in Populus
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Iron deficiency causes chlorosis in many plant species, resulting in yield loss and poor quality. Many tree species including poplar are susceptible to iron deficiency. Trees suffering from iron deficiency often show ...
Genetic Diversity and Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Agronomic, Disease Resistance, and Quality Traits in Barley Accessions from Ethiopia, Icarda, and the U.S.
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Plant breeding is a dynamic process that incorporates new germplasm to introduce genetic variation. Knowledge gained from genetic diversity studies and identification of potentially useful germplasm is critical for efficiently ...
Molecular and Genetic Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of both durum and common wheat. Multiple sources of FHB resistance have been found in common wheat, but not in durum wheat. Lack of effective FHB resistance sources ...
Advanced Cropping Systems for Oil and Biomass Feedstock Production in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Video summarizing a Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
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 ...
