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 ...
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated by Oil and Gas Drilling and Production Operations Using Grass Species
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Soil contaminated by crude oil or drill cuttings poses a threat to ecosystem. The objective of this study was to test tolerance levels of grass species to drill cuttings and crude oil in seed germination and at the 5-leaf ...
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 ...
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 ...
Identification of Molecular Markers Linked to X-Disease Resistance in Chokecherry
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
X-disease, caused by phytoplasmas, is one of the destructive diseases in stone fruit trees, causing yield loss and poor fruit quality. So far no effective methods are available to control X-disease. X-disease resistance ...
Genetics of End-Use Quality Characteristics in Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops consumed by humans around the world. Improving the end-use quality traits is one of the major objectives in wheat breeding programs. However, little is known ...
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. ...
Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Interaction Analysis: A Critical Step for Wheat Germplasm Enhancement
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) possesses the largest set of available alloplasmic lines in either the plant or animal kingdom. These alloplasmic lines consist of novel combinations of wheat cultivar nuclei and cytoplasm, derived ...
Productivity and Sustainability of Intercropping Systems in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The sustainability and productivity of cropping systems in the northern Great Plains is at risk because food, feed, and energy are produced mainly in very short crop rotations or monocultures. High input agriculture and ...
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 ...
