Armillaria species in the Missouri Ozarks forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)In the Missouri Ozark Mountains, species of the white-rot wood decay fungus Armillaria contribute to oak decline. To investigate the relationships of Armillaria species with their hosts, the DNA fingerprinting technique ... -
Characterization of resistance to tombusvirus in nicotiana species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Our lab studies resistance to tombusviruses such as Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV), Cymbidium ringspot virus (CymRSV), and Cucumber necrosis virus (CNV) in Nicotiana species, according to the ''gene for gene'' model, which ... -
Development and validation of a DNA microarray for analysis of the Bradyrhizobium japonicum transcriptome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Bradyrhizobium japonicum, forms a nitrogen fixing symbiosis with soybean. The ability to survive in soil environments, colonize the rhizosphere and ... -
Examination of host genetic determinants of the hypersensitive response in Nicotiana edwardsonii to CaMV and TMV
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The hypersensitive response (HR) is an indicator of genetic resistance when screening for disease resistance to viral pathogens. Genetic resistance ... -
Extracellular ATP, apyrase and nodulation of non-legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] ATP is a universal energy source for biochemical reactions in all living organisms. Extracellular ATP (eATP) is well studied in animal processes such ... -
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 ... -
Phosphorus nutrition in tall fescue : from stockpiling to seed production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is the most important forage for beef production in the Midwest. Stockpiling tall fescue allows producers to extend the grazing season and reduce winter-feeding costs. In Missouri, forages ... -
Quorum sensing in soft-rotting Erwinia carotovora
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The soft-rotting E. carotovora subspecies (ssp.) produces effectors and an array ofextra cellular enzymes, including pectate lyase (Pel), polygalacturonase ... -
Role of the Arabidopsis peptide transporter AtOPT6 in heavy metal detoxification and plant-pathogen interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)AtOPT6, is a member of oligopeptide transport (OPT) gene family. In Arabidopsis thaliana, there are nine members in the OPT gene family that are thought to be involved in peptide transport. Spacial and temporal expression ...
