Nested association mapping and accuracy of predicting genomic breeding value for agronomic and seed composition traits in three interspecific soybean populations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
higher prediction accuracies for all the traits compared with Leave one family out and Within families designs, with prediction accuracies ranged from moderate (0.55) to high (0.75). The NAM panel containing interspecific crosses, successfully predict...
Integrating cover crops into crop rotations in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"There is an increasing emphasis on management strategies such as reduced tillage, use of cover crops, and implementation of conservation practices (i.e. terraces, no-till, and cropping systems) in Missouri cropping systems. By combining best...
Cotton and maize primary root growth responses to water deficit : comparative physiological and metabolic analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) are important economic crops that can suffer significant yield loss under drought. Cotton and maize root systems have fundamentally different architectures, in addition ...
Comparing mosquito communities of various patch-matrix landscape combinations in central Missouri, with implications for developing models to forecast abundances of important mosquito taxa
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Disease vector population densities, combined with their relationship to landscape characters, will clearly affect the proliferation of arboviruses to humans present in these landscapes. Advanced mapping techniques (e.g., ...
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 ...
The biology and ecology of tuber aestivum mycorrhizae establishment in the greenhouse and the field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Truffles, of the ectomycorrhizal genus tuber, are cultivated in plantations to offset declining wild production. Although methods for truffle plantation management have been published, methods for the production of ...
Effect of temperature on a soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] mutant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soybean is influenced by temperature and light, and global warming has been shown to reduce soybean yields. In this study we tested the germination of ...
Switchgrass responses to manganese availability
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient and has a broad range of functions for all plant growth and reproduction. It plays a crucial role in NAD-ME C4 photosynthesis, including as a constituent of the water splitting ...
