Spring establishment of tall fescue utilizing sunn hemp as a companion crop under rotational grazing management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
the spring due to more desirable environmental conditions and the ability to establish roots prior to subsequent spring growth. However, spring establishment of tall fescue may be desirable as management opportunities arise. Introducing warm season annual...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1969)
Dry milling characteristics and polyphenolic contents of adapted colored corn varieties and polyphenol extraction by combining deep eutectic solvents and ultrasound
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Although conventional yellow dent corn (Zea mays L.) has been extensively grown and utilized in the US for food, feed, and numerous industrial applications, the degree of associated value-addition is rather modest. Colored corn varieties have...
Soybean emergence, growth, and development following corn stover removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 mandates the use of 21 billion gallons of biofuel from cellulose or other advanced forms by the year 2022. Corn stover is an attractive choice for cellulosic ethanol production ...

Applications of ancestry estimation in cattle population genetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
by population substructure. Human population genetics has examined these issues in detail and has developed models which incorporate ancestry effects in the estimation of population susceptibilities to disease risk in association analyses, as well...
Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR1) in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
mouse and human AAA tissues. 2) Heterozygous knockout of ADAR1 diminishes the Ang II-induced AAA/dissection in ApoE-/- mice. 3) Mouse aortic transplantation indicates that ADAR1 in vascular cells is essential for AAA formation. 4) SMC-specific ADAR1...
Development and evaluation of innovative iron-containing porous carbon adsorbents for arsenic removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Arsenic is of serious concern because of its marked negative impacts to human health. Of the various sources of arsenic in the environment, drinking water poses the greatest...
Evolution, transmission, and clinical impacts of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
provided deeper insights into how an influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses emerge, evolve, and spread in humans and revealed how the intricate interplay between host, virus and environmental attributes affect disease severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus...
Dissecting the genetic basis of carbohydrate partitioning in maize and sugarcane
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Carbohydrate partitioning, the process by which carbohydrates synthesized in the photosynthetic source tissues (mature leaves) are mobilized to non-photosynthetic (sink) tissues, such as roots, seeds, and developing organs ...
Mechanisms of Alphavirus Midgut dissemination in the Mosquito, Aedes aegypti
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The research work of this thesis has focused on the midgut escape barrier and the dissemination mechanism of alphaviruses in Ae. aegypti. Primarily, we identified and characterized Ae. aegypti MMPs that are seemingly ...
The effects of various planes of nutrition upon the cost of maintenance, reproduction, and development of beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The frequency with which valuable animals reproduce themselves has always been a factor of economic importance in the pure bred cattle business. Great economic changes during the last few years have made this an important ...
Creating a zero-waste soy processing system and developing vitamin B12 fortified non-GMO high oleic soy-based products using encapsulation technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
percent) of soymeal is used as animal feed and for other industrial purposes, and only 2 percent of total soymeal is used for human consumption. Thus, adding value to soymeal may aid in the development of nutritionally dense food products. Based...
Physiology of glyphosate-resistant johnsongrass and implications for management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Glyphosate, as the formulated commercial herbicide Roundup®, was introduced by Monsanto in 1974. The broad-spectrum activity of glyphosate made it an excellent candidate for engineering herbicide-resistant crops. Following ...
Diversity and evolution of the sauropsid trigeminal sensory system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Understanding the evolution of sensory perception is essential in explaining organismal behavior. Organisms using environmental stimuli to navigate their environments, avoid predation, capture prey, and find a mate, have a selective advantage. One...
Multivariate analyses of polygenic risk for impulsivity and alcohol use: a study of longitudinal trajectories of binge drinking in emerging adulthood
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This dissertation aimed to extend previous genetic and neurobiological studies of the shared etiology of impulsive personality traits (IPTs), alcohol consumption and alcohol use disorder (AUD). The overarching goals were ...
