Detection of phythium spp. in gold course irrigation systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Many Pythium spp. are causal agents of disease on creeping bentgrass putting greens. Phytopathogenic Pythium spp. are known to disseminate through irrigation systems in agricultural settings, and this study provides evidence ...
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...
Innate immunity in Arabidopsis : molecular mechanisms of HOPA1 and AVRRS4 - specific disease resistance signaling pathways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Plants have evolved several layers of predetermined defenses, collectively called the innate immune system. Because of its effectiveness effector-triggered immunity (ETI) is a highly valuable agronomic trait. However, ETI ...
Switchgrass responses to manganese availability
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient and has a broad range of functions for all plant growth and reproduction. It plays a crucial role in NAD-ME C4 photosynthesis, including as a constituent of the water splitting ...
Characterization of berry and wine aroma development in interspecific hybrids important to Missouri using a metabolomics based approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
With increases in climate extremes resulting in more abiotic and biotic stress on crops such as grapes, it is essential to develop new cultivars that are more robust than the traditional Vitis vinifera but, with the flavor ...
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. ...
Investigation of genes involved in somatic embryogenesis and plant-Agrobacterium interactions through transcriptional profiling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Plant genetic engineering relies on the ability to transmit and express cloned DNA sequences in plant cells (transformation) as well as the capacity for the cells carrying this DNA to undergo division and differentiation ...
