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 two novel mutant alleles: one...
Adaptation of soybean to tropical environments for smallholder farmers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, and height for soybean in a tropical environment. We developed two molecular tools to identify the allele status of Pdh1, a gene that influences shatter. Using those tools, we discovered that this genetic source of shatter susceptibility is still prevalent...
