High-throughput phenotyping system has become more and more popular in plant science research. The data analysis for such a system typically involves two steps: plant feature extraction through image processing and statistical analysis for the extracted features. The current approach is to perform those two steps on different platforms. We develop the package “implant” in R for both robust feature extraction and functional data analysis. For image processing, the “implant” package provides methods including thresholding, hidden Markov random field model, and morphological operations. For statistical analysis, this package can produce nonparametric curve fitting with its confidence region for plant growth. …

Fusarium wilt in tobacco caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. nicotianae is a disease‑management challenge worldwide, as there are few effective and environmentally benign chemical agents for its control. This challenge results in substantial losses in both the quality and yield of tobacco products. Based on an in vitro analysis of the effects of different phenylpropanoid intermediates, we found that the early intermediates trans‑cinnamic acid and para‑coumaric acid effectively inhibit the mycelial growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. nicotianae strain FW316F, whereas the downstream intermediates quercetin and caffeic acid exhibit no fungicidal properties. Therefore, our in …
Virus-Induced Changes In Nuclear Proteins And Membranes In Nicotiana Benthamiana Cells, Caleb Mathias
Virus-Induced Changes In Nuclear Proteins And Membranes In Nicotiana Benthamiana Cells, Caleb Mathias
Theses and Dissertations--Plant Pathology
Viruses rely on host proteins to complete their life cycles. This results in alterations to normal cell physiology to processes which benefit viral processes such as replication and movement to other cells. This may involve the relocalization of host proteins away from their original subcellular targets to sites which may benefit the virus, a process that is not as well understood as it relates to the nucleus. To identify nuclear proteins that may be involved in such processes, a library of random Nicotiana benthamiana cDNAs were expressed as GFP fusions in a transgenic marker lines expressing a histone 2B:RFP nuclear …
Characterizing The Roles Of Pipecolic Acid And Reactive Oxygen Species Metabolic Enzymes In Plant Systemic Immunity, Ruiying Liu
Characterizing The Roles Of Pipecolic Acid And Reactive Oxygen Species Metabolic Enzymes In Plant Systemic Immunity, Ruiying Liu
Theses and Dissertations--Plant Pathology
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR), initiated by a plant upon recognition of microbial effectors, involves the generation of mobile signals at the primary infection site, which translocate to and activate defense responses in distal tissues. Among the signals contributing to SAR include salicylic acid (SA), nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), and pipecolic acid (Pip). Our previous studies show there are two branches of SAR signaling pathways in Arabidopsis: one regulated by NO/ROS-G3P and the other by SA. Both NO/ROS-G3P and SA-mediated signaling branches function in parallel during SAR. To better understand the role of Pip in SAR …
Pathogenicity, Toxigenic Potential, And Genomics Of Fusarium Graminearum And F. Meridionale Causing Ear And Stalk Rot Of Maize, Franklin Jackson Machado
Pathogenicity, Toxigenic Potential, And Genomics Of Fusarium Graminearum And F. Meridionale Causing Ear And Stalk Rot Of Maize, Franklin Jackson Machado
Theses and Dissertations--Plant Pathology
Gibberella ear (GER) and stalk rot (GSR) diseases of maize in Brazil are caused mainly by Fusarium meridionale, a species belonging to the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC). Another species within this complex, F. graminearum sensu stricto (hereafter F. graminearum), is second in importance on maize, but is the most common species found causing Fusarium Head Blight disease of wheat in Brazil. The latter species is the predominant cause of GER and GSR in North America, where F. meridionale has not been found thus far. In this dissertation I undertook a comparative analysis of pathogenic, saprophytic, toxigenic and …
Diversity And Cross-Infection Potential Of Colletotrichum On Apples And Small Fruits In Kentucky Mixed-Fruit Orchards, Madison Julia Eaton
Diversity And Cross-Infection Potential Of Colletotrichum On Apples And Small Fruits In Kentucky Mixed-Fruit Orchards, Madison Julia Eaton
Theses and Dissertations--Plant Pathology
Fungi in the genus Colletotrichum cause apple, blueberry, and strawberry fruit rots, which result in significant losses for Kentucky growers. Most orchards in Kentucky are agritourism-focused and grow multiple fruits in close proximity. These mixed-fruit orchards may facilitate Colletotrichum cross-infection, which has serious management implications. Small fruit and apple Colletotrichum isolates from Kentucky orchards were characterized by morphotype, phylogenetic species identification, cross-inoculation, genome sequencing, and telomere fingerprinting. The small fruit isolates grouped into seven morphotypes, representing two species complexes: C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides. All blueberry isolates belonged to the species C. fioriniae, and the majority of strawberry …
Genetic And Biochemical Characterization Of Ergot Alkaloid Synthesizing Fungi And Their Symbionts, Matthew Duane Maust
Genetic And Biochemical Characterization Of Ergot Alkaloid Synthesizing Fungi And Their Symbionts, Matthew Duane Maust
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Ergot alkaloids are fungal tryptophan derived toxins which affect mammalian circulation and neurotransmission. These compounds are biosynthesized by a conserved genetic pathway, known as the ergot alkaloid synthesis (EAS) pathway by fungi belonging to the ascomycete families Trichocomaceae and Clavicipitaceae. Several Ipomoea species and related plants in the morning glory family harbor vertically transmitted symbiotic fungi in the genus Periglandula, also members of Clavicipitaceae, that produce ergot alkaloids. Metabolomic analysis of seeds identified a previously uncharacterized glycoside form of the pharmaceutically important ergot alkaloid, ergonovine. Several species belonging to the fungal genus Metarhizium have recently been shown to have the …

Identification, Aggressiveness And Mycotoxin Production Of Fusarium Graminearum And F. Boothii Isolates Causing Fusarium Head Blight Of Wheat In Nebraska, Esteban Valverde-Bogantes
Department of Food Science and Technology: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is an economically important disease caused by several Fusarium species affecting wheat. Besides causing significant yield losses, infected grain may be contaminated with mycotoxins, primarily trichothecenes, that are harmful to both humans and animals. In recent years, reports of shifts in FHB pathogen populations in North America have highlighted the need for increased vigilance. This dissertation describes a four-year survey evaluating the species, trichothecene genotype and phenotypic diversity of FHB pathogens infecting Nebraska wheat. Most of the isolates were identified as F. graminearum (n=67). Additional species included F. boothii (n=3), F. poae (n=2) and F. acuminatum …
Arthropod Resistant Tomatoes: Screening Tools, Yield And Nutritional Quality Of Interspecific Hybrids, Mohammad Hasan Salman Ali Dawood
Arthropod Resistant Tomatoes: Screening Tools, Yield And Nutritional Quality Of Interspecific Hybrids, Mohammad Hasan Salman Ali Dawood
Theses and Dissertations--Plant and Soil Sciences
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most economically important vegetable crops grown around globe but is a host for numerous pests and pathogens. In the future, tomato breeders will have to focus on increasing fruit quantity and on enhancing pest resistance. Many accessions of the wild relative of tomato, S. habrochaites display high levels of resistance towards arthropods such as spider mites. The presence of the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, 7-epi-zingiberene, found in S. habrochaites type IV trichomes has been associated with arthropod resistance. However, the presence of other compounds in its trichome secretions may also be related …
Occurrence, Mating Strategy, And Pathogenicity Of Members Of Nectriaceae In Central Appalachia, Cameron Michael Stauder
Occurrence, Mating Strategy, And Pathogenicity Of Members Of Nectriaceae In Central Appalachia, Cameron Michael Stauder
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Members of the Nectriaceae occupy many ecological niches including dominant canker pathogens, such as Neonectria ditissima and N. faginata. These two pathogens contribute to the decline of American beech (Fagus grandifolia) forests across the Appalachian Mountains due to beech bark disease (BBD). Interestingly, N. ditissima represents a well-known canker pathogen many hardwood species, while N. faginata has not been observed outside of BBD. Additionally, N. faginata occurs at higher incidences than N. ditissima in BBD stands. Nectriaceae in Central Appalachia were surveyed as to further characterize the diversity and possibly identify a non-beech host of N. faginata. …
