Sulfur metabolism in Glycine max [L.] Merr : characterization of serine acetyletransferase and O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) is considered an excellent protein source for both humans and livestock. Further improvement of quantity and quality of soybean protein is vital for maintaining the utility of this versatile plant derived nutrient...
Soybean seed components as affected by nodal position, environmental conditions, and irrigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
such as isoflavones, which are present in soybeans, have been shown to impact human health. Genetics, environmental conditions, and agronomic practices have a bearing on accumulation of each of these seed components. Work presented here reveals that the constituents...
Molecular cloning and characterization of regulatory enzymes in threonine biosynthetic pathway from soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) are a good source of protein and oil. Despite being a very good source of protein, soybeans nutritional value is limited by low proportion of sulfur amino acids methionine and cysteine demanding supplementation...
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...
Development of high protein soybean experimental lines with enhanced sulfur amino acid content
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soybean is one of the most important field crops grown in the United States. Commercial soybeans contain about 36 - 40 [percent] protein and 18 - 20 [percent] oil, by dry weight...
Soybean tolerance to off-target dicamba damage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Since the commercialization and widespread adoption of dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybean cultivars across the United States, numerous cases of off-target damage to non-DT soybean have been reported. Previous studies have focused on understanding...
Molecular approaches to improve soybean plant architecture and seed composition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Soybean is an important agronomic crop which has been widely used as a vegetable oil as well as a source of protein for animals and humans. Among various desired traits for genetic improvement to improve the value of soybean, yield and seed...
Environmental and human impacts on off-target movement of dicamba
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
with dicamba concentrations exceeding 0.5 mg kg-1 dicamba could violate residue limits for USDA National Organic Program standards. This study would suggest that sensitive soybeans that were injured by dicamba drift and allowed to go to yield would be safe...
Characterization of a diverse USDA collection of wild soybean (glycine soja siebold & zucc.) accessions and subsequent mapping for seed composition and agronomic traits in a RIL population
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
been undertaken to introduce novel genetic diversity present in wild soybean (Glycine soja Siebold & Zucc.) into new elite cultivars, in both public and private applied soybean breeding programs. The objectives of this research were to evaluate...
Molecular characterization of soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematode
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, is a devastating pathogen to soybean worldwide. This obligate parasite establishes specialized feeding cells within host roots that are required for completion of the nematode life cycle. In resistant...
Fine mapping and candidate gene identification of a soybean seed protein and oil QTL from a wild soybean accession and linkage analysis for whole plant biomass, carbon, nitrogen, and seed composition using a RIL mapping population
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] cultivars have low genetic variation due to domestication, founder events, and selection strategies for modern plant breeding. There is a need to introduce genetic diversity into soybean cultivars for long...
Development of UAV-based high-throughput phenotyping technologies towards improving soybean breeding efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
in remote sensing and artificial intelligence for estimating key traits and selecting elite genotypes towards improving the selection intensity and accuracy of conventional soybean breeding. To achieve this goal, this research features three objectives: (1...
Increasing methionine content of soybean using CRISPR/Cas9 and developing machine learning predictive models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an important protein source for both humans and animals. Its relatively low cost combined with its excellent nutritive value has enabled soybeans to attain elite stature as the world's dominant protein feed...
Evaluation of harvest weed seed destruction in U.S. soybean and a survey of waterhemp populations response to dicamba and glufosinate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
(Anonymous 2017). There is currently little to no published research on the ability of impact mills to destroy weed seed in United States soybean production systems. Therefore, the objectives of this component of this research are to: 1) quantify header loss...
Design and construction of helmholtz coil for biomagnetic studies on soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
electromagnetic software suite. The location and the area that would have uniform field intensity were determined through simulation and compared with measurements. The effects of magnetic fields on soybean germination rate were studied for a specific soybean...
Chemical modifications to produce soy-based polyols
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This project comprises several chemical routes to produce soy-based polyols for future use in polyurethane foam applications. Soybean oil was polymerized by heat and catalyst to increase molecular weight, and viscosity for use as raw material...
Research to advance our understanding of off-target dicamba movement in United States agriculture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The commercialization of dicamba-resistant (DR) crops and subsequent increase in post-emergent applications of dicamba has contributed to millions of acres of dicamba injury to sensitive plant species since 2016. The research presented...
