Characterization of diverse soybean genotypes for phosphorus uptake and use efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) is one of the most important legume crops grown worldwide. However, without phosphorus (P) fertilization, soybean yields often are limited by phosphorus availability. Phosphorus is an ...
Drainage water management practices affect water quality, soil properties, and crop production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Several agricultural management practices such as terrace construction, cover crops (CC), drainage water recycling (DWR), free drainage (FD), and 4R nitrogen (N) management can influence water quality, soil properties, and crop production...
Effects of stress, genetics, and environment on microbiome composition in western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Leconte)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
are slow to reach the market. Insect microbiomes have been shown to enhance host nutrition, disrupt plant defenses, and protect against diseases, but are also capable of inducing mortality in certain situations. Thus, understanding WCR microbial communities...
Soybean tolerance to off-target dicamba damage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Since the commercialization and widespread adoption of dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybean cultivars across the United States, numerous cases of off-target damage to non-DT soybean have been reported. Previous studies have focused ...
Maize nodal roots maintain elongation in dry soil by avoiding growth zone dehydration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most produced cereal crops worldwide and is increasingly susceptible to yield limitations resulting from drought stress. The growth of roots is essential to plant ...
