Using Gluten Index To Improve Spring Wheat Loaf Volume Prediction, Yaming Lu
Using Gluten Index To Improve Spring Wheat Loaf Volume Prediction, Yaming Lu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop in the world and contributes about 20% of the total dietary calories and proteins globally. Unique properties of doughs formed from wheat flour make it feasible to produce a range of food, including bread. Loaf volume is the most perceptible indicator for breadmaking quality. Selection in the early generations for loaf volume is difficult due to the requirement of the large volume of grains and due to the costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive evaluation process. Identification of simple and reliable predictive tests for loaf volume is highly desirable. This study …
Phytophthora Sojae Infecting Soybean: Pathotype Diversity, New Sources Of Resistance And Interaction With The Soybean Cyst Nematode, Rawnaq Nazneen Chowdhury
Phytophthora Sojae Infecting Soybean: Pathotype Diversity, New Sources Of Resistance And Interaction With The Soybean Cyst Nematode, Rawnaq Nazneen Chowdhury
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Phytophthora root and stem rot, caused by Phytophthora sojae Kaufmann and Gerdemann, is an important disease of soybean (Glycine max L.) in South Dakota. To gain a better understanding of the importance of P. sojae in South Dakota, specifically pathotype diversity, identification of new resistance sources and the interaction with the soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, SCN), this research was undertaken with the following objectives - 1) to characterize the pathotype diversity of P. sojae causing Phytophthora root and stem rot on soybean in commercial fields in South Dakota; 2) to compare inoculation methods to evaluate for …
Development Of Best Management Practices For Production Of Ethiopian Mustard (Brassica Carinata) In South Dakota, Phillip Kenneth Alberti
Development Of Best Management Practices For Production Of Ethiopian Mustard (Brassica Carinata) In South Dakota, Phillip Kenneth Alberti
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) is an alternative non-food oilseed crop which has received interest for its potential as a low-input option for production in the Northern Great Plains (NGP). As B. carinata is a new crop to the NGP, the best management practices have yet to be developed. The overall goal of this project was to develop best management practices for B. carinata production in two diverse agroenvironments in South Dakota. Two field experiments were conducted to assess the response of two B. carinata varieties to i) four seeding rates (4.5, 9, 13.5, and 18 kg ha-1 …
Soil Response To Cropping Sequences And Grazing Under Integrated Crop-Livestock System, Hanxiao Feng
Soil Response To Cropping Sequences And Grazing Under Integrated Crop-Livestock System, Hanxiao Feng
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) is helpful in diversifying a farm for improving its long-term sustainability and economic benefits. In the United States, the ICLS has been increasing in recent years because of its economic and environmental benefits. However, the impacts of ICLS on soil quality is not well documented in North Dakota. The objective of our study is to assess the impacts of cropping sequences and cattle grazing on the selected soil properties in the crop diversity and livestock integration practice. This study site was established in 2010 at the Dickinson Research Extension Center, Dickinson, North Dakota. The study design …
Molecular Characterization Of Spot Blotch And Bacterial Leaf Streak Resistance In Bread Wheat, Girma Ayana
Molecular Characterization Of Spot Blotch And Bacterial Leaf Streak Resistance In Bread Wheat, Girma Ayana
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Spot blotch (SB), caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoem, and bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa (Smith et al.), two important foliar diseases of wheat in the major production regions of the US and the world. Deployment of adequate host resistance against them depends on determining the resistance genes or quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for the trait and identification of genetic markers linked to QTL that facilitate markers assisted breeding. We conducted two independent studies and characterized QTLs for BLS and SB resistance. In the first study, we constructed a genetic linkage map of 1,211 …
Mitigating Risks Of Ochratoxin A Contamination In Oats, Bandana Dhungana
Mitigating Risks Of Ochratoxin A Contamination In Oats, Bandana Dhungana
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic metabolite produced by several species of fungal genera Penicillium and Aspergillus. The major OTA producer in temperate regions (i.e. U.S., Canada, Europe) is Penicillium verrucosum. Oat (Avena sativa), like any other cereal grain, can be contaminated with OTA when storage conditions are favorable for fungal growth. The presence of OTA exceeding the European Union maximum limit of 3 ppb in processed food has been reported in some samples of oat-based breakfast cereals from the US. The use of oat genotypes with limited OTA accumulation would be an effective way to …
Interactive Effects Of Cover Crops, Invertebrate Communities And Soil Health In Corn Production Systems, Claire Lacanne
Interactive Effects Of Cover Crops, Invertebrate Communities And Soil Health In Corn Production Systems, Claire Lacanne
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The adoption of regenerative farming practices is gaining traction, but the costs and benefits are not often considered on a systems level. Encouraging biodiversity and soil health is the goal of many agricultural practices used in regenerative farming; regenerative systems employ practices which abide by the two main principles of increasing biodiversity and decreasing disturbance, with the goal of encouraging ecosystem functioning to minimize inputs and maximize the productivity of a farm. I examined the management of corn (Zea mays) fields across four states in the Upper Midwest region of the United States. Regenerative systems in this study …
Characterization Of Pyrenophora Tritici-Repentis In Wheat And Rye To Study Tan Spot Susceptibility And Insights Into Its Relationship With Stem Rust Resistance, Sidrat Abdullah
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Tan spot, caused by the ascomycete fungus, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is a major foliar fungal disease of wheat worldwide. To date, Ptr isolates have been grouped into eight races based on the production of three host selective effectors (toxins), Ptr ToxA, ToxB, and ToxC, which are associated with necrosis and chlorosis symptoms on wheat differential lines. In order to see the correlation between stem rust resistance and tan spot susceptibility in 1970’s, to know the pathogen virulence profile, and explore the sources of tan spot resistance, we recovered isolates from wheat and rye and evaluated wheat and rye lines with …
