Investigation of genes involved in somatic embryogenesis and plant-Agrobacterium interactions through transcriptional profiling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
giving rise to a mature whole plant. The breadth of application for genetic engineering is limited by constraints on one or both of these factors in many plant species and individual varieties. Uncovering plant genes which are involved in important...
Cover crop and rotation intensity effects on soil health and yield in corn-soybean cropping systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
stable aggregates, soil moisture, total organic carbon, active carbon, potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN), and soil microbial community composition via a phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis were measured in 2017 and 2018 in Columbia, MO under no...
Characterization of soybean rooting depth in response to different environmental conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
challenging, especially under field conditions. Nonetheless, a better understanding of root system form and function is critical to develop strategies to breed for more stress-resilient crops for local production environments. Studies of soybean root systems...
Research to advance our understanding of off-target dicamba movement in United States agriculture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
in this dissertation is designed to provide a better understanding of the environmental conditions and transport mechanisms that influence dicamba volatility and off-target movement and also evaluate the spectral response and yield effects following dicamba and 2,4-D...
