Ecological genomics of divergence, admixture, and fitness in the smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
their extensive native distribution. Much less is known about levels and distribution of diversity within the species. In 1940, Carl Hubbs and Reeve Bailey published descriptions of two distinct subspecies: the Northern Smallmouth Bass (M. d. dolomieu), inhabiting...
Brassicales to Brassica : integrating phylogenomics and population genomics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The Brassicales are an economically important order of flowering plants. Many crop species such as kale, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, canola oil, capers, and papaya, as well as the model plant organism, Arabidopsis ...
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 ...
Uncovering the genetic basis of seed amino acid composition in arabidopsis using a multi-omics integrative approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Seeds are a vital source of protein in the diet of humans and livestock. However, protein composition in the seed is low, comprising about 10 percent of the total composition in the seed. Additionally, protein quality in ...
Coupling, membrane conductance, and ion channel mRNA profiles in the establishment and maintenance of network activity in the crustacean cardiac ganglion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Neural networks produce critical rhythmic behaviors throughout an animal's lifespan, despite growth, differing environments, and changes in physiological state. This requires networks which balance stability in their ...
Uncovering the genetic architecture and metabolic basis of amino acid composition in maize kernels using multi-omics integration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
composition display extensive natural variation which can be utilized to uncover the genetic basis and identify new targets for seed amino acids biofortification. Hence to uncover the genetic architecture of amino acids composition in maize kernels we used...
Celsr1 suppresses WNT5A-mediated chemoattraction to prevent incorrect rostral migration of facial branchiomotor neurons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
As the nervous system develops, neurons often migrate from where they originate to their functional locations prior to them contributing to the circuits that drive cognitive and motor function. Within the vertebrate ...
