Genetic basis of isoflavone accumulation during soybean seed development : special focus on water-deficit conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Soybean (Glycine max [L] Merr.) seed isoflavones have long been considered a desirable trait to target in selection programs for their contribution to human health and plant defense systems. The plant synthesizes isoflavones ...
Molecular and genetic studies of iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Iron is an essential element for plant survival. However, in excess, it is deleterious to the organism. In the present thesis we describe a functional genomic approach and a mutant screen directed towards increasing our ...
Genome scan in commercial angus cattle for quantitative trait loci influencing growth, carcass, and reproductive traits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Experimental designs historically used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in cattle have captured a limited number of parental chromosomes and therefore have only detected the few heterozygous QTL within these ...
