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 in response to several...
Molecular characterization of soybean squalene synthases (GmSQSs) and genetic engineering for enhanced phytosterols in Arabidopsis seeds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in diverting carbon flux towards the synthesis of sterol end products. The present work focuses on identification and characterization of the soybean squalene synthase (GmSQSs) family and genetic engineering to enhance sterol content in plant seeds. Two...
High throughput profiling of transcription factors involved in soybean root growth under water deficit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
signaling and metabolic pathways. Previous work (Yamaguchi et al., 2009) showed that the soybean primary root adapts to low water potential (-1.6 MPa) by maintaining longitudinal expansion in the apical 4 mm (region 1), whereas in the adjacent 4 mm (region 2...
