Horticultural crop response to synthetic auxins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Rising adoption of dicamba-tolerant soybeans increases the potential exposure of grapes to dicamba, where off-target injury may occur via particle or ...
Investigations of the forage nutritive value of common weeds encountered in Missouri pastures and their relationships with soil fertility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
During the 2015, 2016, and 2017 growing seasons, a survey of 63 pastures in Missouri was conducted to determine the effects of selected soil and forage parameters on the density of common annual, biennial, and perennial ...
Vegetation management along roadside and railroad right-of-ways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Efficient transportation of freight as well as motorists requires effective control of vegetation on right-of-ways (ROW's). Traditionally on railroad ROW's, residual herbicides are applied early in the growing season with ...
Investigation of rare alleles in maize using the zea synthetic doubled haploid population
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
have not been extensively studied due to limited resolution and allelic representation issues. Therefore, a new genetic resource, the Zea Synthetic, was created utilizing both teosinte and maize. The Zea Synthetic is a randomly mated synthetic breeding...
Utilizing radiotracer and genetic approaches to determine the regulation of sucrose export in maize leaves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] To sustain plant growth, development, and ultimately crop yield, carbohydrates must be transported from their site of synthesis in leaves to distant ...
Glyphosate resistance : pollen movement within a common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) population and herbicide release from common waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis sauer) plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Common ragweed and Common waterhemp are native, summer annual weeds distributed widely throughout the United States. Both weed species have developed resistance to the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate. Research was ...
Molecular genetic analysis of DRO1 genes in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Under drought conditions, a strong and deep root system provides advantages for exploring and exploiting moisture in deeper soil layers where water is ...
Identification of a novel extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate receptor in Arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In animals, extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (eATP) is a well-studied signaling molecule that is recognized by plasma membrane-localized, P2-type ...
Photosynthesis and heat tolerance of soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) is determined from canopy spectral reflectance measurements and can provide important information about ...
Molecular characterization of CLE peptide mimicry during cyst nematode pathogenesis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Plant-parasitic cyst nematodes establish intimate parasitic relationships with their hosts by penetrating the root as motile juveniles and migrating ...
Comparative analysis of aquatic insect, amphipod, and isopod community composition along environmental gradients in rheocrene spring systems of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Spring systems in Missouri harbor a unique biota and provide critical initial discharge from subterranean aquifers to streams. However, little research has been conducted on the crenobiology or ecology in these systems. ...
Prairie stream ecology : temporal and spatial patterns of macroinvertebrates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
patches to enable recolonization of streams after disturbance. Leptophlebia konza Burian was thought to be restricted to its type locality of Konza Prairie, Kansas; however, a population was discovered at Hi Lonesome Prairie in Missouri during an extensive...
Exploring the symbiotic relationship of plants and microbes by mass spectrometry imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
to extensive chemical runoff into waterways, increases in use of fossil fuel-derived energy with concomitant increases in greenhouse gas emissions, and accumulating costs correlated with fertilizer distribution. In contrast, biological nitrogen fixation (BNF...
Developing molecular genetic tools for gene discovery in soybean (glycine max)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is one of the most valuable crops grown worldwide for seed protein and oil production and can fix atmospheric nitrogen. ...
Iron homeostasis is hierarchically regulated by multiple inputs : evidence for the role of reactive oxygen species and iron-zinc cross talk
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Iron (Fe) is a heavy metal micronutrient vital for all forms of life. In plants, Fe deficiency results in chlorosis and reduced growth, while Fe excess results in lipid peroxidation through the generation of reactive oxygen ...
