▼ Palmer amaranth is a growing concern in the United States. Previously thought to only be able to occupy the southern United States, this plant can now be found throughout the northern states as well. Infestations of Palmer amaranth can now be found in South Dakota and is raising many concerns. Palmer amaranth is characterized by large growth and can be highly competitive with many important crops. Soybean is an important crop in South Dakota, as well as the rest of the world, and has not escaped the detrimental aspects of an infestation of Palmer amaranth. The objectives of this study were to determine the possible impacts Palmer amaranth South Dakota. Surveys were given to applicators and producers from many counties in South Dakota to gauge public awareness of Palmer amaranth and determine other possible infestations of Palmer amaranth. These surveys were made available at commercial applicator recertification classes throughout South Dakota and the Soy 100 meeting in Brookings, SD. Growth rates and plant volume and biomass of Palmer amaranth from several seed source locations and local ascensions of common waterhemp and redroot pigweed were examined and compared in eastern South Dakota. Growth studies were conducted near Aurora, SD over two years using three planting dates from mid-May to late-June. Plant volume was measured every 10 to 20 days until harvest beginning in late-July. At harvest, plants were oven-dried and biomass was recorded. Efficacy of several herbicide treatments were recorded on Palmer amaranth seedlings. Pre- and post-emergence treatments were conducted on Palmer amaranth planted in either sand or potting mix. Post-emergence treatments were applied at the three- to four-leaf stage. Visual ratings of plants were conducted 21 days after treatment. Soybean yield loss due to Palmer amaranth was determined near Corsica, SD. Palmer amaranth in square meter plots were counted and harvested for biomass when soybeans reached R7 to R8. Plots containing two rows of soybeans were harvested several weeks later and yield loss was determined. Survey results indicated that more needs to be done to provide information to the public based on respondents’ ability to correctly identify Palmer amaranth, common waterhemp, and redroot pigweed seedlings and mature plants. Several respondents also indicated possible infestations of Palmer amaranth. Not all counties in South Dakota were represented by the study. Palmer amaranth had greater growth and biomass than either common waterhemp or redroot pigweed. Final volume of Palmer amaranth was greater at lower densities. Growth rates between sampling dates varied among planting dates, which resulted in similarities in final volume among planting dates. Common waterhemp and redroot pigweed shared similar plant volumes and biomass, however, plants in 2015 were larger, possibly due to climatic differences between years. Herbicides tested that offered the best control of Palmer amaranth was a…

▼ Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major food crops in the world that is grown on more land area than any other commercial crop. The demand for wheat is expected to increase by 60% by 2050 which cannot be met with the current yield gain of 1%. Hence, it is important to evaluate different strategies for increasing the genetic gain in wheat. With this focus, we evaluated two strategies, genomic prediction and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for disease resistance in CIMMYT’s international bread wheat screening nurseries (IBWSN). Our objective was to compare different prediction models for resistance to leaf rust (LR), stem rust (SR), stripe rust (STR), Septoria tritici blotch (STB), Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) and tan spot (TS) in the 45th and 46th IBWSN entries. The prediction models tested include: Least-squares (LS), genomic-BLUP (G-BLUP), Bayesian ridge regression (BRR), Bayes A (BA), Bayes B (BB), Bayes C (BC), Bayesian least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (BL), reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) markers (RKHS-M), RKHS pedigree (RKHS-P) and RKHS markers and pedigree (RKHS-MP). The 333 lines in the 45th IBWSN and the 313 lines in the 46th IBWSN were genotyped using genotyping-by-sequencing markers. For the rusts, the mean prediction accuracies were 0.74 for LR seedling, 0.56 for LR APR, 0.65 for SR APR, 0.78 for YR seedling and 0.71 for YR APR. For the leaf spotting diseases, the mean genomic prediction accuracies were 0.45 for STB APR, 0.55 for SNB seedling, 0.66 for TS seedling and 0.48 for TS APR. Using genome-wide marker based models resulted in an average of 42-48% increase in accuracy over LS. Overall, the RKHS-MP model gave the highest accuracies, while LS gave the lowest. GWAS was also performed on these traits and several significant markers and candidate genes were identified. We conclude that implementing GWAS and genomic selection in breeding for these diseases would help to achieve higher accuracies and rapid gains from selection.

▼ Water quality assessment for the management of water resources requires the collection of water samples for physical, chemical, and biological analysis. It is essential to reduce the cost of water quality monitoring by minimizing the number of grab samples and to reduce the sampling time by rapidly accessing the sampling points. Adaptive, remote, and smart water sampling systems can provide more effective water quality monitoring programs. An adaptive water sampling system with an unmanned aerial vehicle integrated with sensor nodes was developed and tested in this research. Individual phases of this research were; in-situ water quality measurements with a UAV-integrated sensor node; autonomous water sample collection with a UAV-integrated water sampler; and integration of water sampler and sensor node sub-systems for UAV-assisted adaptive water sampling. The UAV-assisted adaptive water sampling system consists of a hexacopter UAV, a triple water sampling cartridge, and a sensor node. The payload capacity and endurance of the UAV were determined using an indoor test station. The UAV was able to hover 10 min while producing 64 N of thrust at 4.61 kg of takeoff weight with no payload attached. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the UAV was measured as 1.41 at 50% throttle level. The adaptive water sampling method depended on computerbased automated decision making. The decision to activate the water sampling cartridge for water sample collection was made based on pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity (EC), and temperature sensor inputs from the sensor node. The adaptive sampling enabled selective water sample collection only when the water constituent measurements exceeded the assigned allowable limits during indoor tests. Field experiments were conducted to test the systems to achieve adaptive water sampling from a 1.1 ha fishing pond and a 11 ha portion of a 36 ha lake. Instantaneous decision making for sample collection based on in-situ pH, DO, EC and temperature measurements would eliminate unnecessary water sample collection while providing data with high spatial resolution for assessing water quality in surface waters.

▼ The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte can affect water relations and yield of its host, maize ( Zea mays L.), under normal soil moisture. Drought stress negatively affects plant growth and yield. Anecdotal data have suggested that the effect of western corn rootworm is greater under drought and the effect of drought is greater under rootworm infestations, but few experiments have controlled both moisture and rootworm levels. We hypothesized that if drought and rootworms both occur, there would be a negative synergistic effect on maize growth and yield. To test this hypothesis, a series of greenhouse and field experiments were performed. Greenhouse experiments tested only one maize line at three different moisture levels and three different western corn rootworm infestation levels. This was done not only with neonate larvae, but also second instar larvae and eggs in separate, full experiments. Overall, the greenhouse results indicated that under the conditions of these experiments, the effect of drought was greater than the effect of western corn rootworm and the interactions between soil moisture level in western corn rootworm infestation level did not affect plant traits such as water potential, stomatal conductance, shoot air-dried weight, and root air-dried weight in most of the trials. Rootworms did add some interesting complexity to the greenhouse experiment. For instance, plants without western corn rootworm were more stressed than the moderate western corn rootworm infestation for the drought treatments in the third greenhouse experiment. Drought also impacted western corn rootworm larvae in the same experiment, but only when the larvae were already stressed at the highest infestation level. Field studies also were conducted in 2012, 2013, and 2014 with treatments varying soil moisture levels, western corn rootworm infestation levels, and maize hybrids with and without tolerance to drought and rootworm pressure. In 2012 and 2013, western corn rootworm infestation significantly impacted yield, but its impact on yield was much less than the effect of drought. When under drought and rootworm pressure, the Bt+AQUAmax hybrid with tolerance to western corn rootworm and drought was generally higher yielding and significantly less water-stressed than other hybrids. Root damage ratings were not significantly impacted by drought or its interactions with western corn rootworm infestation. Both drought and western corn rootworm affected water potential, stomatal conductance, root complexity, and beetle emergence. The magnitude of the effect of drought versus western corn rootworm infestation level varied depending on the factor being evaluated, but in general drought had a greater effect on maize growth factors. We must reject our hypothesis that rootworms and drought have a negative synergistic effect on maize growth and yield under the conditions of our study.

▼ One-carbon (C1) metabolism is essential to all organisms. In plants, C1 units are required for the synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, pantothenate, and many methylated molecules. Due to the low abundance and lability of the C1-substituted folates, S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), and S-adenosyl-homocysteine (AdoHcy), and the presence of multiple isoforms for enzymes interconverting the C1 units, plant C1 metabolism has been under investigated.Plant C1 metabolism consists of folate-mediated reactions, folate-independent reactions, the activated methyl cycle, and the related S-methylmethionine (SMM) cycle. To better understand this area of metabolism, recruitment of C1 moiety to the C1 metabolism through serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) and provision of C1 moiety to methionine biosynthesis involving 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) have been studied in this dissertation project.SHMT catalyzes the reversible interconversion of serine and tetrahydrofolate (H4PteGlun) to glycine (Gly) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH2-H4PteGlun). SHMT activity has been found in the cytosol, plastids, and mitochondria in plants. Mitochondrial SHMT (mSHMT) from plants plays an important role in catabolizing Gly and regenerating Ser during photorespiration. Two isoforms of mSHMT from Arabidopsis thaliana have been cloned, expressed, and purified. Those two isoforms have also been proven active through enzyme assays.Methionine (Met) is a sulfur-containing amino acid, required as a building block of proteins and a precursor of many essential metabolites. This essential amino acid cannot be synthesized de novo by mammals and needs to be obtained from the diet. C1 metabolism contributes to the synthesis of Met by providing the methyl group from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-CH3-H4PteGlun) for methylation of homocysteine (Hcy) to Met. Due to the absence of MTHFR, which catalyzes the reduction of 5,10-CH2-H4PteGlun to 5-CH3-H4PteGlun, synthesis of Met is hypothesized to be limited in plastids by the availability of the methyl group donor, 5-CH3-H4PteGlun. Therefore, Escherichia coli (E. coli) MTHFR has been overexpressed in plastids of tobacco plants in an attempt to elevate Met content in these organelles. Transgenic plants have accumulated up to 4-fold more soluble Met than the wild type together with increased levels of various other amino acids. Total folate content has also been increased up to 4 fold. However, these transgenic plants barely photosynthesize and have severe growth defects, which could be partially rescued by growth under elevated CO2 concentration.

▼ Calcium (Ca2+) is accepted as a predominant second messenger in plant cells. Cytosolic and nuclear free Ca2+ concentration in plant cells changes rapidly and dynamically in response to various endogenous or environmental stimuli. In turn, alterations in the Ca2+ concentration are sensed by Ca2+ binding proteins such as calmodulin, which decode and relay the information encoded by Ca2+ into specific biochemical, cellular and physiological responses. Elevation in calcium concentration in plant cells is an early event during plant defense response and is caused by Ca2+ influx into the cytosol. Our previous research on AtSR1, a calmodulin-binding transcription factor in Arabidopsis, revealed a novel connection between calcium signaling and salicylic acid (SA)-mediated plant immunity. Interestingly, AtSR1 suppresses immune response through the repression of the transcription of EDS1 which encodes a critical regulator of both SA-mediated defense and R gene-mediated defense. The fact that plants are able to achieve effective defense response following pathogen challenge indicates possible mechanisms to relieve the repression of plant immune response by calcium/calmodulin/AtSR1. Here our data revealed that this calcium/calmodulin/AtSR1-mediated suppression could be relieved by the degradation of AtSR1 protein through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. We identified the AtSR1-interaction protein 1 (SR1IP1) through CytoTrap two-hybrid library screening. Genetic analysis showed that the loss-of-function mutant of SR1IP1 is more susceptible to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst. DC3000) and overexpression of SR1IP1 confers elevated resistance to Pst. DC3000 treatment, suggesting that SRIIP1 is a positive regulator of plant defense response. SR1IP1 has a BTB domain in its N-terminus and a NPH3 domain in its C-terminal region, and BTB domain is a typical domain structure of the substrate adaptor in cullin3-based E3 ubiquitin ligases. Our biochemical data confirmed that SR1IP1 interacts with Arabidopsis cullin3A (AtCUL3A), and mediates ubiquitination and degradation of AtSR1, especially when challenged with P. syringae. These results reveal a novel mechanism regulating the actions of Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated signaling to coordinate an effective defense response following pathogen challenge.

▼ This study presents the genetic characterization, genome-wide association study (GWAS) and genomic selection (GS) of resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst)) and stem rust (P. graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt)) diseases in spring-habit hexaploid wheat germplasm collection. A total of 1,163 accessions representing major global wheat production environments were characterized for adult plant and seedling resistance to Pst in six field experiments and greenhouse tests, respectively. A genome-wide set of 5,619 informative Single Nucleotide Polymorphic (SNP) markers were used to examine population structure, linkage disequilibrium and marker-trait associations in the germplasm panel. GWAS identified 18 loci significantly associated to adult plant and seedling resistance to Pst at false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted probability (P) < 0.10. The genetic map positions of two of the resistance loci (on chromosomes 5B and 4B) were far from previously identiﬁed Pst resistance genes/QTL, and may represent novel QTL. In addition, GWAS for resistance to Pgt and Pst was conducted using 190 Ethiopian bread wheat germplasm using a set of 24,281 genome-wide SNPs filtered from the wheat 90K iSelect genotyping assay. GWAS identified 11 and 18 genomic loci significantly (FDR P <0.1) associated to Pgt and Pst resistance, respectively. Many of the identiﬁed resistance loci were mapped close to previously identiﬁed resistance genes; however, two on chromosome 3BL and 7BL for Pgt resistance and three on chromosomes 3AL, 5AS and 7BS for Pst resistance may be new QTL. Genomic selection has the potential to enhance the utilization of germplasm collections through prediction of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for as many traits as have been measured. We assessed the effect of different population genetic properties and marker density scenarios on GEBV accuracy in the context of applying GS for wheat germplasm utilization. The results of the cross-validation tests demonstrated that prediction accuracy increased with increase in population size and marker density. The results of the current GS suggests that larger germplasm collections may be more efficiently sampled based on lower-density genotyping methods, while genetic relationships between the training and validation populations remain critical when exploiting GS to select from germplasm collections.

▼ Hessian fly and stripe rust are major pests of spring wheat in the Pacific Northwest and cultivar resistance is a primary breeding goal. Hessian fly (HF) infestations continue to cause significant yield losses in spring wheat in the Pacific Northwest. In wheat, resistance to Hessian fly is usually controlled in a gene for gene manner, similar to other pathosystems. Hessian fly resistance genes in wheat have been failing as a result to the rapid evolutionary pace of the insect. Stripe rust (denoted by Yr) is a destructive foliar disease of wheat casing damage on an annual basis. Most of the Yr named resistance genes have been overcome as a result of the continuing emergence of new virulence races. Genetic resistance remains the most effective and economical approach to minimize yield losses and respond to pathogen evolution. A doubled haploid (DH) mapping population was generated from a cross between two elite spring wheat lines; ‘WA8076’, and ‘HT080158LU’. The DH population was genotyped with 90K SNP markers using the Illumina Infinium platform. Phenotypic assessment was carried out on the DH population for both Hessian fly and stripe rust response. The genotyping efforts resulted in a total 15,236 polymorphic SNP markers used to establish a high-density genetic map. A single Hessian fly resistance gene (HFR) derived from ‘WA8076’ was detected on the distal region of chromosome 6BS, flanked by two SNP markers IWB71431 and IWB61175 at a distance of 2.6 cM. In addition, a total of 13 genes/QTL were found to be associated with stripe rust resistance. The adapted superior lines with Yr resistance will be directly incorporated in subsequent breeding efforts as a durable source of resistance. The closely linked SNP markers to the resistance loci, identified in this study, will provide an effective tool to accurately identify, select, and integrate the HF and Yr resistance genes into existing wheat cultivars. The highly dense SNP-based genetic map provides useful information for fine mapping and finding candidate genes underlying QTLs as well as marker-assisted breeding. Furthermore, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) we performed for both seedling and adult plant response in a diverse population of winter wheat germplasm. The population was genotyped with the 90K iSelect wheat single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. Our GWAS study identified a total of 26 loci, comprising a range of existing and novel loci associated with stripe rust resistance. Resistance loci in the winter wheat germplasm can be exploited in the development of broadly-effective disease-resistant commercial wheat cultivars.

▼ This work addresses the function of two circadian clock genes in maize, namely gigantea1 (gi1) and gi2, as well as the larger question of the role that circadian clock genes play in grass species. Previous work on the plant circadian clock has primarily focused on the model genetic system, Arabidopsis thaliana, and the current conception of the clock has been constructed on the basis of this work. Arabidopsis is, however, evolutionary distant from monocot species, such as the grass Zea mays (maize), that are grown as crops. Furthermore, many crop plants have convoluted domestication histories that have resulted in complex genomes containing remnants of entire duplicated genomes. Circadian clock genes are proposed to be preferentially retained after whole genome duplications, and to evolve altered roles when duplicate gene copies persist in genomes. GIGANTEA (GI) is a plant-specific gene that is conserved across vascular plants and plays a central role within plant circadian and developmental processes. Most plants only have one copy, but maize has two, which are both expressed. One approach taken to investigate the roles of the gi genes was to generate gi mutants in maize and evaluate their impacts on clock gene expression, developmental phenotypes, and disease resistance. This analysis showed that gi1 and gi2 have differential effects on clock gene expression, gi2 may play a role in disease resistance, and that phenotypic effects of either mutant are minor compared to the Arabidopsis gi mutants. A second approach was to heterologously express maize GI proteins in yeast to identify protein interaction partners. First, a set of predicted protein interaction partners were computationally identified on the basis of known Arabidopsis GI interactors. Both maize GI proteins were found to interact with homologs of known Arabidopsis interactors in maize, and in some cases, GI1 and GI2 had different interaction strengths. Second, GI1 and GI2 were used as baits in yeast two-hybrid screens against a library generated from maize cDNA to identify putative novel interacting partners. The screen identified a number of novel interaction partners, and found that each GI preferentially interacts with a different set of protein types. Finally, evolutionary trees were elucidated in order to computationally identify orthologs of known circadian clock genes in all three species. In conjunction with this, a comprehensive RNA-Seq timecourse of reference inbred lines for maize, sorghum, and Setaria was performed. This allowed the identification of a number of genes likely involved in the maize circadian clock. Preliminary computational analysis of this extensive dataset indicates that circadian orthologs between the species retain similar phases. For individual genes, altered expression patterns have been found between the species, which could indicate functional innovation. These lines of evidence suggest that genes within the circadian clock have evolved novel properties across plant species. The work presented here shows that even…

▼ Over the past century, changes in farming practices have resulted in an enormous increase in agricultural productivity. Substantial gains in crop yields were due to several factors, including the use of nitrogen fertilizers and pesticides (Youngquist, 1999). These chemicals are primarily derived from fossil fuels, such as petroleum and natural gas. Considering these are both finite resources, there is a need to develop alternative technologies that boost crop productivity in a sustainable way. Recent studies have proposed the use of endophytes to promote plant growth and increase yields. One specific endophyte, Enterobacter sp. 638, has been shown to enhance plant growth in a variety of hosts. E. 638 produces plant hormones which result in increased biomass (Taghavi et al., 2011). This study measures the effects of inoculation with E. 638 on growth and gene expression in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum ). Two factors, inoculation and stress, were examined for their effects on time to flower, time to first produce fruit and first ripening event, as well as total mass of fruit and vegetative tissue. Stressed conditions were simulated by growing tomato plants in small (19 L) pots in a greenhouse, while unstressed plants were placed outside in larger (∼57 L) pots to minimize restriction of root growth and maintain a more natural environment. Furthermore, this study used qPCR to measure the relative expression of genes involved in auxin transport, cytokinin signaling, ethylene signaling and cell wall expansion in tomato roots. The effects of inoculation on gene expression between control and exposed plants were compared. The results of this study may have major implications to agriculture by reducing cost and reliance on petroleum based chemicals, as well as to the field of plant physiology. Understanding how plants respond to inoculation with E. 638 may lead to a better understanding of plant responses to external stimuli.

▼ The Southeastern United States is a biological hot-spot for carnivorous plants, with over half of the North American species occurring along the Gulf Coast. Pinguicula planifolia Chapman is one of six carnivorous perennial butterwort species found in the Florida Panhandle. Among these species, only P. planifolia expresses a distinct variation of red coloration on its leaves. The functional role of foliar anthocyanins may include stress response to drought and nutrient deficiency, herbivory defense, free radical scavenging, and photoprotection. Carnivorous plant leaves face strong selection pressures to optimize prey capture and nutrient absorption. Given the frequency of these red pigments in such specialized trapping leaves of carnivorous plants, their presence may be providing some type of physiological adaptation. The objectives of this study were: 1 ) to determine how environmental factors impact foliar anthocyanin production in P. planifolia, 2) to investigate how light manipulation affects foliar anthocyanin content of green and red plants over time, 3) to determine how foliar anthocyanins affects prey capture, and 4) to investigate how leaf gland density differs in red and green leaves. Three field studies (quadrat, light manipulation, and prey capture) were conducted at 7 populations within the Florida Panhandle, and 2 lab studies (chamber and gland density) were conducted at Eastern Illinois University. In the quadrat study, chlorophyll and anthocyanin content indexes in leaves of plants selected in quadrats along a transect were measured as a factor of light intensity, water depth, soil nutrients, water nutrients, and habitat structure. In the light manipulation study, three treatments (control, clipped, and caged) were established for red and green plants. These treatments tested the effects of normal, heightened, and lowered solar radiation on red and green plants over time. The prey capture study employed artificial sticky traps painted to match leaf colors (red or green), which were established next to plants with red or green leaves. Prey was collected from artificial traps and leaves to determine how color affects prey capture. The chamber study tested ex situ responses of P. planifolia anthocyanin production to artificial environmental cues by growing plants in controlled growth chambers under varying conditions including light intensity, nutrient levels, and substrate moisture levels. In the gland density study, leaf clearings were performed to conduct density counts of stalked and sessile glands on red and green leaves. Foliar anthocyanin content is correlated positively with light intensity and negatively with water depth and vegetation height. In soil, calcium and pH levels are positively correlated with foliar anthocyanins. In water, bicarbonates and pH levels are positively correlated with foliar anthocyanins. In water, ammonium is negatively correlated with foliar anthocyanins. In field and laboratory settings, exposing red plants to… Advisors/Committee Members: Janice Coons.

▼ The genus Magnolia comprises over 250 species naturally occurring in Eastern North America, Central America, South America, islands of the Gulf of Mexico, and Eastern Asia. A long history of cultivation and breeding going back to the early nineteenth century reveals a common trend of reproductive compatibility throughout this group of basal angiosperms. Interspecific hybridization has led to plethora of ornamental cultivars that have proven adaptable to natural and cultivated habitats beyond the range of each species. Understanding of taxonomic relationships between species has evolved as observations of morphological characteristics and genetic analyses have been more thoroughly investigated. The objectives of this research were to 1) Perform crosses that lead to novel hybridization, 2) improve understanding of inheritance of morphological traits through the phenotypic variation observed in hybrid progeny, and 3) improve understanding of inheritance of morphological traits through the analysis of the molecular variation observed in hybrid progeny. Over 30 novel crosses were performed with species and previously developed hybrids from each of the 3 recognized subgenera and 9 of the 12 recognized sections. Progeny were raised, and hybridity verified by intermediate morphological characteristics. In selected crosses, hybridity was also supported by intermediate relative genome size determined by flow cytometry or by DNA separation by gel electrophoresis. Successful interspecific crosses were achieved within and between sections, and intersubgeneric crosses were achieved with Magnolia lotungensis of Section Gynopodium. Intersectional crosses typically provided fewer offspring for evaluation than intrasectional crosses. A comparative study of sibling variation was performed with an intrasectional cross, Magnolia foveolata × Magnolia laevifolia (Section Michelia), and an intersectional cross, Magnolia sieboldii (Section Rytidospermum, Subsection Oyama) × Magnolia insignis (Section Manglietia). The morphometric comparisons of hybrid populations displayed a gradient of intermediacy typically seen in inheritance influenced by quantitative trait loci in the intrasectional hybrid for the majority of the measured traits. However, in the intersectional hybrid, the presence of extreme phenotypes evidenced by multiple traits exhibiting negative heterosis indicated inheritance influenced by transgressive segregation. Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers revealed 35.7% polymorphism among siblings in the intrasectional cross and 45.2% polymorphism in the intersectional cross. These polymorphism percentages are comparable to other woody plant species indicating adequate genetic variation is present for interspecific magnolias to undergo speciation in the absence of reproductive barriers. In a combined analysis of each set of hybrids and parental taxa, a pairwise matrix of relative genetic distances revealed no significant difference in the distance between parental… Advisors/Committee Members: Sarah A.

▼ Genetic engineering of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), an emerging cellulosic bioenergy feedstock, has been performed to alter cell walls for improved biofuel conversion. However, gene flow from transgenic switchgrass presents regulatory issues that may prevent commercialization of the genetically engineered crop in the eastern United States. Depending on its expression level, microRNA156 (miR156) can reduce, delay or eliminate flowering, which may be useful to mitigate transgene flow. However, flowering transition is dependent upon both environmental and genetic cues. In this study of transgenic switchgrass, two low (T14 and T35) and two medium (T27 and T37) miR156 overexpressing ‘Alamo’ lines and nontransgenic control plants were used. A two-year field experiment was performed to compare flowering, reproduction, and biomass yield in eastern Tennessee, U.S.A. Growth chamber studies assessed temperature and photoperiod effects on flowering and reproduction across a simulated latitudinal cline. In the field, medium miR156 overexpression line T37 resulted in the best overall combination of bioconfinement and biomass production. Though line T37 did flower, not all plants produced panicles, and panicle production was delayed in both years. Line T37 also produced fewer panicles, with a 65.9% reduction in year one and 23.8% reduction in year two over controls. T37 panicles produced 70.6% less flowers than control panicles during the second field year with commensurate decreased seed yield: 1205 seeds per plant vs. 18,539 produced by each control. These results are notable given that line T37 produced equivalent vegetative aboveground biomass as controls. In latitudinal simulation growth chambers, elevated temperatures and decreased daylength promoted flowering of the miR156 transgenic switchgrass lines. As temperatures increased and day lengths decreased, more plants in lines T35, T37, and controls produced panicles. The simulated (Ecuador) tropical conditions were the only chambers in which three of the four transgenic lines flowered. These results suggest that miR156 overexpression levels found in transgenic line T37 can be useful for bioconfinement, and the plants can significantly reproduce in tropical conditions, which would enable plant breeding for line improvement. Furthermore, the study suggests additional ways that miR156 can be manipulated to improve both biomass production and bioconfinement. Advisors/Committee Members: C. Neal Stewart Jr., Charles Kwit, Feng Chen.

► Recent (1990-2014) increases in salt affected soils in the Northern Great Plains states of South Dakota (SD) and North Dakota (ND), MLRA 55B and… (more)

▼ Recent (1990-2014) increases in salt affected soils in the Northern Great Plains states of South Dakota (SD) and North Dakota (ND), MLRA 55B and 55C, have prompted more intensive research on groundwater derived saline and sodic soil characteristics in semi-humid and humid climates. Past research has focused on salinity and sodicity in irrigated agricultural systems in semi-arid and arid climates. Due to the disconnect between prior research and current problems in this region, it is necessary to assess widely used laboratory methods, and determine if short cuts can be used for rapid evaluation. The objectives of this research were: 1) to establish a relationship between soil electrical conductivity (EC) and the total soluble cations (TSC); 2) establish the relationships between EC of saturated paste extraction solutions, 1:1, and 1:5 soil:water extraction dilutions; and 3) to assess the field scale spatial distribution of saline and sodic soil properties in order to identify soils at high risk of developing saline and sodic issues in the future. EC, soluble sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) and the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) were measured for soil samples collected from four sites across SD and N research established a robust linear relationship between EC and TSC of TSC = 13.54 *EC – 0.29 (R2 = 0.88). Based on the results of the second study, not only can linear regression relationships be developed between saturated paste extractions and various soil:water dilutions, but a non-linear relationship can also be established to predict the salinity parameters based on the dilution factor. Finally, the third study found that while the prediction maps generated using ordinary kriging were not statistically significant, they showed that the salt affected soil area increased with depth. Soils that lack saline and sodic soil problems at the surface, but have moderate saline and sodic soil problems in the subsurface should be considered high risk for developing more severe limitations in the future when capillary and groundwater rise could bring soil solutes to the soil surface.

▼ Biomass is a renewable resource that offers many advantages to a successful perennial grass-based bioenergy model. Many of today’s economic problems have led scientists and farmers to search for new crops that increase agricultural sustainability and profitability. The use of bioenergy crops such as switchgrass and prairie cordgrass will help to meet future energy and biomass needs through the process of converting crop biomass into bioenergy sources with less environmental damage. Prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link.) is a high yielding warm season grass that grows naturally on poorly drained marginal land throughout the United States. For its morphological characteristics and biomass production, it is being considered for bio-fuel potential. Red River prairie cordgrass (RR-PCG) and Atkins prairie cordgrass (AT-PCG) are part of a developed germplasm collection in the Midwest (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas). Both varieties are being considered in investigations as possible biomass crops. Overall objectives for this investigation were to evaluate (1) biomass production capability of RR-PCG, South Dakota prairie cordgrass (SD-PCG), Illinois prairie cordgrass (IL-PCG), Cave-in-Rock switchgrass (CIR-SWG), and Sunburst switchgrass (SB-SWG) at lower and upper backslope sites in South Dakota from 2008 through 2011, North Dakota from 2008-2010, and Illinois in 2010, (2) yield production, tiller density, tiller weight, morphological traits such as biomass distribution in leaf sheath, and internode with measures of length and weight under four N rates (0, 56, 112, and 168 kg ha-1 of N), and below-ground material to a depth of 25 cm in South Dakota and Kansas. The results indicated that levels of N applied had influenced the amount of biomass that is being produced along with the number of tillers (either vegetative or reproductive material). Interestingly, prairie cordgrass yielded better at 56 kg ha^-1 of N than at the highest amount of N applied. This could indicate that very little N is required to optimize yield and biomass in general. Moreover, prairie cordgrass production of adequate yields may depend more on location and environmental factors such as moisture and total rainfall. Prairie cordgrass should be analyzed at more locations in order to get a better understanding of its biomass production; morphological characteristics; biomass partition among leaf sheath, and internode; and quality characteristics.

▼ Challenges associated with pretreatment, densification and storage of corn stover (CS), switchgrass (SG) and prairie cordgrass (PCG) were addressed as part of a cellulose-to-ethanol process. It is most cost-effective to transport densified cellulosic materials; however this can be cost prohibitive. AFEX pretreatment coupled with an innovative densification method allowed reduced costs per unit. Five conditions were examined: untreated (control), AFEX pretreated, pretreated/densified, pretreated/stored, and pretreated/densified/stored. Two enzyme doses of cellulase and β-glucosidase were employed, using a separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) system. The high dose utilized 15 filter paper units (FPU)/g glucan of cellulase and 64 cellobiase units (CBU)/ml β-glucosidase. The low dose rate used one-third of each dose. An industrial fuel ethanol strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was utilized. Samples were tested for pH, yeast viability, and carbohydrate, organic acid and ethanol concentration using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Pretreatment provided significant improvement in hydrolysis and fermentation yields, increasing glucose and ethanol yields by an average of 16% to 58% and 13% to 43%, respectively, over all substrates. The low enzyme dosage resulted in consistently lower and more variable glucose and ethanol yields compared to the high dosage.. Glucose yields averaged 49% versus 70%, while ethanol yields averaged 32% versus 56%, respectively. Thus the low dose would not be suitable for commercial application. Concerning densification into PAKS, results were substrate specific. Sugar and ethanol yields from PCG and SG were negatively impacted by densification. Glucose yields dropped from 62% to 53%, and ethanol yields fell from 46% to 38% in non-densified substrates versus PAKS. Glucose yields from CS improved following densification, rising from 62% to 65% while ethanol yield improved from 44% to 52%, respectively. Storage did not adversely affect conversion efficiency and may be beneficial. Glucose yields for AFEX and PAKS increased following storage from 59% to 68%, 50% to 54% and 62% to 64% for CS, SG and PCG, respectively. PCG ethanol production was contrary to other substrates with fresh substrates yielding 46% and stored averaging 34%. CS ethanol yield increased from 45% to 51% and SG yield remained the same at 44%.

▼ Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is considered a potential model for an alternative fuel source in North America. Recently, two insect pests of switchgrass have been identified. The switchgrass moth [Blastobasis repartella (Dietz): Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae] feeds in the basal internodes and in rhizomes, causing premature tiller and rhizome loss. The switchgrass midge (Chilophaga virgati Gagné: Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) feeds above the last internode of the tiller, causing seed yield and biomass loss. There were two objectives for this study: (1) to determine genetic and temporal variation among cultivars for frequency of tiller infestation by switchgrass moth larvae in mature stands in the northern Great Plains and if variation in biomass production was associated with variation in frequency of infestation, in two trials (plots/established in 2004 and 2008) and (2) to increase knowledge of the biology of the gall midge by describing its life stages, phenology, and parasitoids in the Northern Great Plains. Data collection and observations were made during 2011 and 2012. In plots from 2008, differences were found among cultivars for tiller density, biomass yield, and numbers of leaves per healthy and infested tillers. Mean frequency of infestation was different between 2011 (6.7%) and 2012 (9.6%). Regression of biomass on frequency of infestation showed negative linear relationships for `Carthage’ and `Kentucky 1625’. However, in plots from 2008, differences were found among cultivars for tiller density and numbers of leaves per healthy. Mean frequency of infestation ranged from 2.6% for `Cave-In-Rock’ to 4.5% for `Pathfinder’ and was different between 2011 (2.7%) and 2012 (4.4%). In general, infested tillers had 1 less collared leaf than healthy tillers. Weights of healthy tiller were more >3x those of infested tillers. Switchgrass gall midge adult is active from early June to mid/late July. It overwinters as a late instar larva. The number of larvae ranged from 6 to 85. `Cave-In-Rock’ was more infested (>2x) than `Dacotah’ m-2. New parasitoids were reared from switchgrass gall midge larva: Quadrastichus sp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophilidae) and Platygaster chilophagae Buhl (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae). Results of this study are valuable to scientists for optimizing seed and biomass yields of switchgrass.

▼ Bacterial diseases, namely bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. translucens and bacterial leaf blight (BLB), caused by Pseudomonas syringae subsp. syringae have recently reemerged as potential threats to wheat (Triticum aestivum) production in the Midwest USA. Forty-five hard red spring wheat genotypes with diverse genetic backgrounds were evaluated for resistance to BLS under field conditions with artificial supplementary inoculum. Genotypes showed significantly different responses to X. campestris pv. translucens. SD4205 was found resistant to BLS with the lowest disease severity across multiple environments. Other genotypes SD4148, SD4176, ‘Alsen’, SD4023, ‘Faller’, SD4024, ‘Knudson’, and SD4199 showed moderately resistant reactions. Genotypes ‘Russ’, SD4011, and ‘Select’ were highly susceptible. Quantitative trait loci controlling resistance to BLS was mapped using a family-based mapping approach. Sixty unique families developed through crossing selected resistant and susceptible parents were used for genotyping and phenotyping. Phenotyping was done on both F1 and F2 plants. Analysis showed narrow sense heritability for BLS resistance was 0.28. Two genomic regions on chromosomes 2A and 6B were found significantly associated with the resistance of this disease in both greenhouse and field evaluations. Additionally, two QTLs on chromosomes 3B, and 6A were detected in greenhouse evaluation and one additional QTL was detected on chromosome 1B in field evaluation. Variance explained by the significant markers ranged from 0.56 to 29.56%. Xwmc522 seemed most associated with resistance. The forty-five hard red spring wheat genotypes were also evaluated for resistance to BLB after inoculation of P. syringae subsp. syringae in multiple field tests during the growing seasons of 2009 and 2010. Considerable variation in resistance to BLB among genotypes was clearly observed. A continuous distribution of disease severity was observed in each year which suggests that resistance to BLB is likely governed by several genes. Analysis of data combined over environments revealed that SD4148 was consistently least infected, followed by Faller, Knudson, and Alsen, while SD4176, SD4171, Russ, SD4011, and Select were consistently highly infected. The findings of the study will be useful for further genetic and epidemiological studies and development of resistant cultivars. Advisors/Committee Members: Karl D. Glover.

▼ Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a worldwide problem in wheat production. Seed dormancy provides cereal crops with resistance to PHS. This research was conducted to explore the genetic potential of Aegilops tauschii-derived synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) as a new source of seed dormancy genes and to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for seed dormancy. Four SHW-derived segregating populations were evaluated for the genetic variability of seed dormancy measured by kernel germination and spike sprouting rates. Spike sprouting rate was lower than kernel germination rate, indicating the presence of germination inhibitors in the covering tissues. Both year and line effects were significant, with the former much greater than the latter, in each of the four populations. Heritability estimates were 0.32-0.53 for kernel germination percentage or 0.32-0.56 for kernel germination index in the four populations across years. Genotypic correlation (0.646-0.794) between kernel germination and spike sprouting rates was higher than phenotypic (0.480-0.636) and environmental (0.149-0.521) correlations in 2007, 2009, and 2010, suggesting that shared genetic factors play a major role in regulating dormancy with kernels and spikes. A population of 186 doubled haploid lines was used to construct a framework linkage map covering 21 chromosomes to identify seed dormancy QTL. A total of 19 putative QTL for seed dormancy were detected on 5A, 4 B, and 4 D chromosomes. Six QTL were detected in more than one year, and 7 QTL were associated with more than one of the parameters. These QTL accounted for 3.3-28.6% of the phenotypic variance. Both parental lines contributed the dormancy-enhancing alleles to 7 and 12 QTL, respectively. Eight QTL were involved in 6 pairs of digenic epistasis, which could be grouped into three types. Five QTL were involved in genotype-by-year interactions. Both of the epistasis and G-by-E analyses demonstrated the importance of evaluating seed dormancy genes/QTL in the genetic background of local cultivars under the local environmental conditions for multiple years. In addition, two future research directions, i.e. pyramiding seed dormancy-enhancing alleles and comparative research on seed dormancy genes among wheat and model plants, were discussed based on preliminary data collected during the period of the dissertation project.
