Soil characteristics and subsequent corn development following partial corn residue removal in a no-till, corn-soybean rotation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
treatment increased soil ammonium-N concentration, soil water content at R1, minimum and average soil temperature at corn emergence (VE). Early, median and late emerging corn plants of each residue and cover crop treatment were also tracked throughout...
Development and improvement of artificial diets for larvae of Diabrotica species using multidimensional design space techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
rootworm and northern corn rootworm bioassays. The new formulations were created by using response surface modeling coupled with n-dimensional mixture designs to identify and optimize key ingredients based on integrated evaluation of several life history...
Partial characterization of Bt resistance and the bacteriome of western corn rootworm
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) and northern corn rootworm (Diabrotica barberi (Smith and Lawrence)) are major pests of maize in the USA. These pests have been managed with a variety of tactics ...
Utilizing radiotracer and genetic approaches to determine the regulation of sucrose export in maize leaves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] To sustain plant growth, development, and ultimately crop yield, carbohydrates must be transported from their site of synthesis in leaves to distant parts of the plant...
Genetic architecture and marker-assisted breeding for salt tolerance in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibits plant growth and causes seed yield loss in soybean. Although a major gene for salt tolerance on chromosome (Chr.) 3 was mapped, cloned and characterized, it does ...
