Biology and management of cut-leaved Teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus L.) in central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
locations by measuring plant dry weight and leaf area. Herbicide efficacy experiments were conducted with four modes of action: amino acid biosynthesis inhibitors, growth regulators, acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, and cell membrane disrupters. Total...
Genotype, environment and GE interaction effect on soybean oil composition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Changing the content of the five major soy-oil fatty acids is important to enhance food, fuel and other applications of soybean oil. In addition to genetic effects, the growth environment can significantly affect oil ...
Characterization of soybean rooting depth in response to different environmental conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max (L.) is currently grown throughout the world because it has been adapted to many environments and because of the high protein and oil content...
Agronomic and pest interactions in no-till corn and soybean wih fall versus spring herbicide applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
compared fall herbicide applications to early spring applications. Therefore, field experiments were conducted in both no-till corn and soybean fields from 2004 through 2006 in central, northwest, and northeast Missouri. Herbicide applications were made...
The biology and ecology of tuber aestivum mycorrhizae establishment in the greenhouse and the field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
systems inoculated with Burgundy truffle (Tuber aestivum). I also report on the effects of two greenhouse seedling production systems on growth and colonization of oak seedlings. I found that book-type containers and a peat-based medium produced smaller...
Resource extraction, resistance, and religion in Nicaragua
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
mining, especially related to economic threats and grievances tied to environmental and agricultural concerns, it will likely continue its resistance movement until it sees policy changes that halt or overturn mining concessions in the community. However...
The semiaquatic heteroptera (Gerromorpha) of Thailand : faunistics, biogeography and phylogeography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Semiaquatic heteropterans (Gerromorpha) were collected from mountain streams and waterfalls and lowland ponds adjacent to the mountains were collected from 2002 to 2006. One hundred fifty-eight species representing 31 ...
Molecular characterization of CLE peptide mimicry during cyst nematode pathogenesis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Plant-parasitic cyst nematodes establish intimate parasitic relationships with their hosts by penetrating the root as motile juveniles and migrating intracellularly until...
Investigation of rare alleles in maize using the zea synthetic doubled haploid population
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The biology of rare alleles is important to our understanding of genotype-to-phenotype relationships. Understanding the role of rare alleles can aid in the selection...
Genetic architecture and marker-assisted breeding for salt tolerance in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibits plant growth and causes seed yield loss in soybean. Although a major gene for salt tolerance on chromosome (Chr.) 3 was mapped, cloned and characterized, it does not fully explain genetic...
Impact of alternate host phenology amd alternate hose-transgenic corn interactions on the Western corn rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
With the increasing adoption of transgenic maize with resistance to rootworms, combined with glyphosate tolerance, as a control tactic for western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, an understanding of ...
Innate immunity in Arabidopsis : molecular mechanisms of HOPA1 and AVRRS4 - specific disease resistance signaling pathways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Plants have evolved several layers of predetermined defenses, collectively called the innate immune system. Because of its effectiveness effector-triggered immunity (ETI) is a highly valuable agronomic trait. However, ETI ...
