Adaptation of soybean to tropical environments for smallholder farmers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)There are many traits that influence crop adaption to a new environment so that it can perform as a farmer would prefer. In these chapters, I have shown the influence of the genetic mechanisms behind pod shatter, days to ... -
Characterization of raffinose synthase genes in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)As the use of soy products in foods and feeds increases, it is ever more important to consider the nutritional value of each component of the seed. The carbohydrate component is largely composed of sucrose, raffinose, and ... -
Genetics of soybean seed lipoxygenases and linolenic acid content in seeds of the soybean wild ancestor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Soybean seeds, valuable feed and food resources, have high protein and oil contents, with a fairly balanced amino acid profile and abundant essential fatty acids (FA). Linolenic acid (18:3), an essential [omega]-3 type of ... -
Improving soybean seed composition through molecular breeding for raffinose family oligosaccharides, lectin, and trypsin inhibitors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)In 2011, soybeans were planted on 75 million acres in the US and the total crop value exceeded $35 billion. After the oil is extracted from the soybean, the remaining high protein fraction is made into meal to be used in ... -
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 ... -
Phytic acid phosphorus and inorganic phosphorus composition in seeds of soybean lines with independent inositol pentakisphosphate 2-kinase mutations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] seeds contain a large amount of phosphorus (P), which is stored as phytic acid (PA). PA is indigestible by nonruminant livestock and considered an anti-nutritional factor because PA chelates ... -
Understanding sucrose and raffinose family of oligosaccharides in soybean seed for human and animal utilization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Many researchers have an interest in development of soybean lines producing high metabolizable energy with low anti-nutritional factors in the seed. The raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFO), raffinose and stachyose ... -
Viability, vigor, and field performance of a low phytic acid, high phytase activity soybean line, CAPPA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Plants store inorganic phosphate (Pi) in seeds as phytic acid (PA). Phytic acid chelates essential macro and micronutrients in developing seeds forming phytate, which is nutritionally unavailable to monogastric livestock. ...
