(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This investigation presents an analysis of groundwater vulnerability in three mid-Missouri counties that represent an agricultural production region that is physiographically and hydrogeologically complex. The goals of this study are to (1) provide...
Development and application of vegetative buffer width modeling using geographic information systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
of performance could potentially require wider or narrower buffer widths in order to meet certain stormwater management criteria. This method was successfully demonstrated within the LaBarque Creek watershed located southwest of St. Louis, Missouri for three...
High throughput profiling of transcription factors involved in soybean root growth under water deficit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
. Among these were zinc-finger protein, MYB-related protein, GmNAC3, GmNAC4, and bZIP transcription factors. These TFs were differentially expressed in distinct root regions, and therefore they can be targeted for functional characterization and further...
