Ecological genomics of divergence, admixture, and fitness in the smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
their extensive native distribution. Much less is known about levels and distribution of diversity within the species. In 1940, Carl Hubbs and Reeve Bailey published descriptions of two distinct subspecies: the Northern Smallmouth Bass (M. d. dolomieu), inhabiting...
Genetic and hormonal regulation of meristem initiation and maintenance pathways during maize vegetative and reproductive development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
, as well as understand the genetic and environmental factors that influence the penetrance and expressivity of the Sos2 phenotype. In addition, an RNA-seq anlaysis uncovered additional pathways in which the Sos2 gene may directly or indirectly function...
Brassicales to Brassica : integrating phylogenomics and population genomics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
then allow for further decisions of the best accessions to target for human health, as well as provide an excellent resource for future studies wanting to enhance specific elements in different crops. To conclude, I discuss the unique opportunity that feral...
Uncovering the genetic basis of seed amino acid composition in arabidopsis using a multi-omics integrative approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Seeds are a vital source of protein in the diet of humans and livestock. However, protein composition in the seed is low, comprising about 10 percent of the total composition in the seed. Additionally, protein quality in the seed is poor due to low...
