Building the genetic, agronomic and economic foundations for expansion of oat cultivation in western Washington
(2017)
Oats (Avena sativa L.) are a versatile crop with diverse genetic resources. A study of population structure in a collection of oat genotypes relatively unaffected by recent breeding activity identified an under-utilized ...
GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES OF DROUGHT RESISTANCE AND YIELD POTENTIAL IN WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.) USING AGRONOMIC AND REMOTELY SENSED TRAITS
(2015)
Emerging phenotyping methods and increasingly abundant genotyping platforms have become valuable tools for the discovery and introgression of yield-positive and stress-adaptive genes into modern wheat (Triticum aestivum ...
IDENTIFICATION AND INHERITANCE OF RESISTANCE TO IMIDAZOLINONE HERBICIDES THROUGH INDUCED MUTAGENESIS AND INTERACTIONS BETWEEN RHIZOCTONIA ROOT ROT AND SELECTED HERBICIDES IN BARLEY
(2011)
Induced mutagenesis can be an effective way to increase variability in crop species. Crop resistance to a given herbicide can be of practical value to control weeds with efficient chemical usage. However, this type of ...
IDENTIFICATION OF PATHOGENIC RACES AND MICROSATELLITE MARKERS OF TILLETIA CARIES (D.C.) TUL. & C. TUL. AND MAPPING OF A COMMON BUNT RESISTANCE GENE IN WINTER WHEAT
(2011)
Common bunt, caused by Tilletia caries and T. foetida, is one of the most devastating seedborne diseases of wheat. In conventional agriculture, the disease is managed almost exclusively with chemical seed treatments. ...
Genetics of drought tolerance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
(2015)
Drought is a major constraint limiting dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yield worldwide. Some lines express tolerance but the mechanisms are not well understood. We sought to: i) identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) ...
Identifying root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp.) resistance and functional mechanisms in wheat
(2013)
Root-lesion nematodes (RLN) Pratylenchus thornei Sher and Allen, 1953 and P. neglectus (Rensch, 1924) Filipjev Schuurmans and Stekhoven are soil-borne pathogens of wheat that invade and feed on root host cells. In the ...
MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT GLUTENIN SUBUNIT GENE FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEIR EFFECT ON WHEAT QUALITY
(2018)
Gluten is a macro polymer responsible for the unique viscoelastic properties of wheat dough and it is formed from the interaction of wheat seed storage proteins. The low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GSs) are one ...
