[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] The advent of the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine have raised many issues, including the need and urgency to strengthen local food systems. Ecological agriculture and regenerative agriculture have been proposed...
Structural studies of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase complexes and the E. coli PutA DNA binding domain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the formation of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. We have solved a high-resolution (1.75 Å) structure of a ...
Soil surface-seal measurement using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Rainfall on bare soil breaks soil aggregates, detaching particles, plugging pores and decreasing porosity in the top few mm of soil. This reduces hydraulic conductivity and increases runoff through a process known as surface ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An instrumental tenderness detection system used at the time of grading to sort beef carcasses on their predicted tenderness would be valuable for the beef industry. A biosensor to accurately predict calpastatin, the ...
Rhizobacteria associated with glyphosate-resistant soybean (Glycine Max)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The research was conducted to examine the impact of GR soybean treated with glyphosate on rhizobacterial activities involved in IAA production and soil C and N mineralization in different soil management systems; to determine ...
Variability of soil hydraulic properties and estimation of plant-available water on claypan-soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil hydraulic properties and plant-available water (PAW) capacity are critical properties in evaluating land management and soil productivity. This study investigated...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil degradation, impaired water quality, and reduced soil organic carbon have become major concerns in the management of degraded claypan soils with their associated ecological...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
by wildlife to vegetation change yet this assumed relationship is rarely evaluated. I developed habitat suitability models for 10 wildlife species and validated two of those models as predictors of demographic responses (e.g., territory density and nest...
A partial equilibrium model of Afghanistan wheat market
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This study focuses on the construction of a structural economic model for the wheat market in Afghanistan. We create two models with alternative approaches to model closure, one based on a price linkage approach and the ...
