Quantification of Disease Expression Conferred by Three Host Gene-Necrotrophic Effector Interactions in the Wheat-Parastagonospora Nodorum Pathosystem
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Septoria nodorum blotch is a wheat foliar and glume disease caused by Parastagonospora nodorum, a necrotrophic fungal pathogen. Snn1-SnTox1, Snn3-B1-SnTox3, and Tsn1-SnToxA are three important interactions between wheat ... -
Quinclorac and Aminocyclopyrachlor Movement in Sandy Soils of the Sheyenne National Grassland, and Control of Yellow Toadflax with Aminocyclopyrachlor
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Quinclorac and aminocyclopyrachlor leaching potential was evaluated in replicated field conditions in soil from five ecological sites of the Sheyenne National Grassland (SNG). Herbicide concentration was estimated using ... -
Raised Beds, Tile Drainage, and Nitrogen Fertilizer Management on Corn Yield in Eastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Surface drainage, tillage, and different nitrogen fertilizer rates and management practices can influence corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of subsurface drainage, ... -
Relative Maturity and Row Spacing Effect on Establishment of Interseeded Cover Crops into Soybean
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Low adoption to cover crops in the northern Plains is due to limited soil water for stand establishment, short growing season, and few adapted winter-hardy species. Studies were conducted to evaluate the impact of interseeded ... -
Relay-Sowing Soybean Into Established Winter Annual Cover Crops
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Cover crop acreage continues to increase as soil, grazing, and ecosystem benefits become better known. The profit aspect of sustainability could be improved by producing intersown cover crops with an added commodity value. ... -
Response of Russet Burbank Seed Tubers Containing Glyphosate and Dicamba Residues
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The introduction of dicamba-tolerant soybean will increase the risk of potato injury to dicamba. The objective was to determine the effects of ‘Russet Burbank’ potato seed tuber emergence and yield that were exposed to ... -
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 ... -
Rust Resistance in the Guatemalan Climbing Bean Germplasm Collection
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Common bean is the main source of protein, fiber, and iron for Guatemalan's poorest households; however, bean rust can cause up to 100% yield losses. There is limited information about bean rust in Guatemala, especially ... -
Salinity Tolerance of Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is one of the commonly used cool-season turfgrass species. Despite the many advantages of tall fescue, there are some properties that restrict its use as turf grass. Recent efforts ... -
Screening for Forage Sorghum Genotypes with Chilling Tolerance
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Forage sorghum (FS) [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a warm-season biomass crop with the potential to become a bioenergy feedstock. The objective of this study was to screen potential FS genotypes for increased chilling ... -
Season Extension Using Supplemental Soil Heat in a North Dakota High Tunnel for Warm Season Vegetable Production
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Vegetable production options in North Dakota are limited by environmental challenges. Combining soil heating cables and row covers within a high tunnel could protect crops from frost, extending the growing season. Three ... -
Seeding Date and Genotype Maturity Interactions on Grain Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor –(L.) Moench] Performance In North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] varieties fail to reach maturity in North Dakota’s short and cool growing season. The study objective was to evaluate seeding date and white grain sorghum genotypes. A randomized ... -
Seeding Date, Maturity Rating, and Location Influence on Soybean (Glycine max L. (Merr.)) Performance and Phenology in Eastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)In North Dakota, soybean is typically planted in mid to late May; however, a late spring frost or flooding event may cause a grower to plant late, or replant their crop. The objective of this research was to determine the ... -
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 ... -
Sensory and Quality Attributes of Deodorized Pea Flour Used in Gluten-Free Food Products
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Yellow pea (Pisum sativum L.) flour was deodorized using high-pressure solvent extraction (HPSE) with ethanol and water as solvent. These flours were evaluated in gluten-free (GF) baked goods. Sensory evaluation, volatile ... -
Serviceberry: Potential North Dakota Accessions for the Nursery Industry
