Roles of the TSN1 and TSC2 Genes in Conferring Susceptibility of Durum Wheat to Tan Spot and Septoria Nodorum Blotch
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Tan spot is an important disease caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora triticirepentis. Two common necrotrophic effectors produced by this fungus are Ptr ToxA and Ptr ToxB, which recognize host sensitivity genes ... -
Rotating Cross-Arm and Winter Row Covers for Floricane Blackberry (Rubus Subgenus Rubus Watson) Production in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus Watson) production has potential to expand into North Dakota, but this will only occur with the evaluation of new cultivars and overwintering protection methods. Ten cultivars under four ... -
Selection of Hard Red Winter Wheat Lines with Diverse Resistance to Leaf Spot Diseases
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Tan spot and Septoria nodorum blotch cause serious yield losses in winter wheat in North Dakota as the majority of commercially grown cultivars are susceptible. This study aimed to identify lines with improved resistance ... -
Soybean Productivity as Affected by Raised Seedbeds and Subsurface Drainage
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Soils of the Red River of the North Valley (RRNV) are susceptible to waterlogging upon excessive rainfall events. Raised seedbeds and subsurface drainage are methods to reduce waterlogging in soils. The objectives of ... -
Susceptible Crop Response to Soil Residues and Foliar Exposure of Dicamba
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Dry bean, soybean, sugarbeet, and sunflower were tested for tolerance to dicamba residue in soil. Visible injury was seen on dry bean and soybean depending on location, but yield differences were not present. Increasing ... -
Symmetric Protoplast Fusion in Interserial Syringa (Oleaceae) Hybridization
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Few other woody plants embody the preeminence of temperate woody plants in garden cultivation like the lilacs. In spite of their relationship, the trees lack the diversity of cultivated floral forms observed within the ... -
Total Yellow Pigment Content and Oxidative Stress Level during Kernel Development
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The focus of this research was to determine the effects of cultivar and environment on levels of total yellow pigment content and oxidative stress during grain development and in semolina and pasta. Lipoxygenase activity ... -
Turf Quality of Creeping Bentgrass Using Foliar Fertilization Tank-Mixed with Sprayable Organic Amendments
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The use of foliar fertilizer applications on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a popular method of achieving quality turfgrass. Tank-mixing foliar products may increase turfgrass quality, reduce amount of ... -
Utilizing Pruning and Leaf Removal to Ripen Grapes and Encourage Cold Tolerance in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Experiments were conducted at North Dakota vineyards in 2011 and 2012. Pruning limited vines to a specific number of primary buds while leaf removal exposed ripening grape clusters to increased sunlight. Variables included ... -
Validation of Molecular Markers Associated with Grain Cadmium in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum Desf.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Durum wheat is capable of accumulating cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, in the grain at levels that have been deemed unsafe. Previous studies have identified genetic variation in durum wheat that can be exploited to create ... -
Variation in Core and Accessory Parts of Genome of Escherichia Coli Isolated from Soil from Riparian Areas in New York State
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Escherichia coli is commensal bacteria and is a symbiont of the digestive system of vertebrates. Due to frequent deposition of E. coli into extrahost habitats (soil, water), approximately half of its population exists as ... -
Weed Control with Cover Crops in Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Field experiments were conducted near Oakes and Fargo, North Dakota from 2009-2010, and repeated near Carrington, North Dakota from 2010-2011, to evaluate weed control in both irrigated and non-irrigated potato production ...
