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. In this study, aquatic insect...
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 still sufficient. In rice...
Toxicogenomics of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera leconte in response to eCry3.1Ab-expressing transgenic maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In modern agricultural systems, insect pests are constantly facing stresses from natural factors and pest management. Strong selection pressure results in evolution of insect resistance to control substances such as chemical ...
Factors that influence the movement of Cauliflower mosaic virus in susceptible and resistant plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Since the first description of Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), it has been the subject of many research papers, both as a model system for plant molecular virology...
Coordinating the overall stomatal response of plants : rapid leaf-to-leaf communication during light stress
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Plants, being sessile organisms, have evolved unique mechanisms enabling them to rapidly react to ever-changing environmental conditions. In nature, light is one...
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...
Modification of fatty acid composition in soybean seeds to improve soybean oil quality and functionality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The purpose of this project is to modify the fatty acid composition in soybean seeds to improve soybean oil quality and functionality. By sequencing the FAD2-1A and FAD2-1B genes in 24 plant introductions, we identified ...
Characterization of berry and wine aroma development in interspecific hybrids important to Missouri using a metabolomics based approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
the aroma profile of two hybrid grapes Norton and Chambourcin, important to the Mid-Western United states, including Missouri, along with the differences during berry development. We also investigated the change in aroma profile of Chambourcin berries due...
