The effects of exercise and fish oil on oxidative stress
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks of fish oil supplementation and four weeks of fish oil supplementation and exercise training on measures...
Forest harvest effects on soil chemical properties and nutrient concentrations in Ozark Highland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Mixed hardwood systems of the Missouri Ozark Forest Ecosystem Project are harvested using clearcutting (CC) and single-tree selection (STS) regeneration methods. This work indicates possible effects of regeneration method on surface soil nutrient...

Elemental concentration changes in soil and stockpiled tall fescue leaves after liming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
of stockpiled tall fescue. Others have predicted that liming will increase P and decrease aluminum (Al) availability to plants in the types of soils used in this study. Study sites were located at the University of Missouri's Southwest Center (SWC) and Bradford...
Digestible amino acid requirements for young female turkeys
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Nine experiments were conducted to determine the optimal digestible isoleucine (dIle), valine (dVal), leucine (dLeu), phenylalanine plus tyrosine (dPT) requirement of female...
Rhizobacteria associated with glyphosate-resistant soybean (Glycine Max)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The research was conducted to examine the impact of GR soybean treated with glyphosate on rhizobacterial activities involved in IAA production and soil C and N mineralization in different soil management systems; to determine the effects...
Soil surface-seal measurement using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Rainfall on bare soil breaks soil aggregates, detaching particles, plugging pores and decreasing porosity in the top few mm of soil. This reduces hydraulic conductivity and increases runoff through a process known as surface ...
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
and the fossil record, to demonstrate the pattern of large BW within the Ruminantia is a response to nutritional resource limitations. Our final study recapitulates key points in the ecology and evolution of wild ruminants, then discusses how these points...
Genetic basis of isoflavone accumulation during soybean seed development : special focus on water-deficit conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Soybean (Glycine max [L] Merr.) seed isoflavones have long been considered a desirable trait to target in selection programs for their contribution to human health and plant defense systems. The plant synthesizes isoflavones ...
Fertilizer effects on soil pH, soil nutrients, and nutrient uptake in swamp white and pin oak seedlings on an alkaline Missouri River bottomland
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
There is growing interest among forest and wildlife managers in the reforestation of bottomlands with mast producing hardwoods in the Lower Missouri River and Mississippi River Alluvial valleys. However, it is common for bottomland hardwood...
Net energy content of soybean meal and glycerol for growing and finishing pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Net energy systems are widely accepted and utilized throughout Europe. The main net energy systems used are the French INRA, the Dutch CVB and the Danish PPE. These energy systems are not widely accepted in the U.S. due ...
Nitrogen management strategies to improve corn growth and reduce soil greenhouse gas emissions from claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of urea fertilizer placement with and without the addition of a nitrification inhibitor (NI) on corn yield, N use efficiency (NUE), and cumulative soil N[2]O emissions on a Northeastern Missouri claypan...
The role of genetic and phenotypic diversity in maize and its effects on aflatoxin accumulation by the fungus Aspergillus flavus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Accumulation of the potent carcinogen, aflatoxin, in maize poses a significant health risk to humans and animals. Most commercially grown maize lines are susceptible to infection by the fungus that synthesizes aflatoxin, ...
