Leveraging Genomics and Transcriptomics for Gene Discovery in Dry Pea
(North Dakota State University, 2024)Over the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of DNA marker-based mapping studies to genetically map and further improve complex quantitative traits. A major caveat of this approach ... -
Genomic Analysis of Tan Spot and Stagonospora Nodorum Blotch Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Host-selective toxins, or necrotrophic effectors, are important determinants of disease in both wheat-Stagonospora nodorum and wheat- Pyrenophora tritici-repentis pathosystems. This study describes the identification, ... -
Genomic Characterization of Necrotrophic Effector Sensitivity Genes in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The necrotrophic fungal pathogens Parastagonospora nodorum and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis cause the diseases septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) and tan spot, respectively, reducing yield by decreasing the photosynthetic area ... -
Mapping and Characterization of Yield Component Traits and Septoria Nodorum Blotch Susceptibility in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Wheat, a major global economic crop and food source, is currently threatened by climate change and the cascading effects, including increased disease pressure. Additionally, wheat yields have not increased significantly ... -
Using Machine Learning and Text Mining Algorithms to Facilitate Research Discovery of Plant Food Metabolomics and Its Application for Human Health Benefit Targets
(North Dakota State University, 2020)With the increase in scholarly articles published every day, the need for an automated systematic exploratory literature review tool is rising. With the advance in Text Mining and Machine Learning methods, such data ... -
Genomic Analysis of Septoria nodorum Blotch Susceptibility Genes Snn1 and Snn2 in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Septoria nodorum blotch is a disease of wheat caused by the necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum. In the wheat-P. nodorum pathosystem, recognition of pathogen-produced necrotrophic effectors (NEs) by dominant host ... -
Genomic Analysis of Domestication-Related Traits and Stem Rust Resistance in Tetraploid Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Modern durum and common wheat cultivars were developed from ancient wheat ancestors by natural and artificial selection of agronomic and domestication traits, which ultimatey decreased their genetic diversity and made them ... -
Genetic Characterization of Dormancy in Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Two populations derived by crossing LDN x LDN Dic-3A (Population I) and LDN x LDN Dic-3B (Population II) were genetically characterized for the seed dormancy present on chromosome 3A and 3B of durum wheat. The genes for ... -
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 ...
