ND VitPro' (Reg. no. CV-1194, PI 682660) is a hard red spring wheat (HRSW, Triticum aestivum L.) developed at North Dakota State University and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2017. It was tested as experimental line ND825 and released because of improved straw strength as well as strong disease resistance and end-use quality. ND VitPro is moderately resistant to stem rust, leaf rust, and Fusarium head blight. The name ND VitPro was chosen due to its high vitreous kernel percentage and high grain protein.
Bison‐Fly is the open‐source pipeline of unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) applications for plant breeding developed by the Spring Wheat Breeding Program at North Dakota State University in partnership with the Drone2Phenome community. We present a step‐by‐step pipeline to collect, process, and apply UAV data for plant breeding to facilitate data processing, reduce errors, and create new traits. This open‐source R code can be easily adapted for different crops and improved according to user requirements. In addition, Bison‐Fly provides a free and complete dataset with (a) RGB, Multispectral, and Digital Surface Model orthomosaics from 15 time points throughout the season; (b) field trait data with experimental design; and (c) daily metadata with soil and weather information. We hope this pipeline helps guide students, researchers, and breeders on day‐to‐day activities. Bison‐Fly is available at https://github.com/filipematias23/Bison-Fly.
‘ND Frohberg’ (Reg. no. CV‐1200, PI 698310) is a hard‐red spring wheat (HRSW; Triticum aestivum L.) developed at North Dakota State University (NDSU) and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (NDAES) in 2020. ND Frohberg was selected from the cross ND709‐9/ND2902. ND709‐9 was an experimental line with the pedigree (ND 2709/3/’Grandin’*3//’Ramsey’/ND 622). ND2902 was an experimental line with the pedigree (ND674//ND2710/ND688). It was tested as experimental line NDHRS16‐13‐97 and released because of improved straw strength, yield potential, strong disease resistance and end‐use quality. ND Frohberg is highly resistant to stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici), and moderately resistant to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia triticina), bacterial leaf streak (caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa), and Fusarium head blight (caused by Fusarium graminearum). The name ND Frohberg was chosen to honor Dr. Richard Frohberg, hard red spring wheat breeder at NDSU for 37 years. During his tenure at NDSU, Dr. Frohberg's varieties were widely cultivated, reaching as much as 65% of the acreage in North Dakota in 2003. He was responsible for the cross that resulted in this variety.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
