Functional analysis of drought responsive soybean GmNAC003 and GmNAC004 transcription factors in lateral root development in arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Several NAC transcription factors promote lateral root (LR) numbers in Arabidopsis through the auxin signaling pathway. In soybean, a majority of genotypes increased LR number in response to water deficit. It is possible ... -
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 ... -
Genetic engineering of soybean using candidate genes to improve drought tolerance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses which affect productivity in soybean. Plants respond and adapt to drought stress through various biochemical ... -
High throughput profiling of transcription factors involved in soybean root growth under water deficit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Drought is the major abiotic stress factor limiting crop productivity worldwide. Plant root and shoot systems respond to environmental changes by altering the expression of complex gene networks through sensing environmental ... -
Investigation of resistance to Heterodera glycines (scn) in soybean plant introductions (pi) 467312 and 507354
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) Heterodera glycines Ichinohe is the most serious pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the world. The effectiveness ... -
Molecular characterization of soybean squalene synthases (GmSQSs) and genetic engineering for enhanced phytosterols in Arabidopsis seeds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Squalene synthase (SQS), which converts fanesyl diphosphate (FPP) to squalene, represents a crucial branch point of the isoprenoid pathway and is ... -
Molecular genetic analysis of DRO1 genes in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Under drought conditions, a strong and deep root system provides advantages for exploring and exploiting moisture in deeper soil layers where water is ... -
Phosphoprotein analysis of soybean root hairs in response to Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The nitrogen fixing symbiosis in soybean (Glycine max) is initiated by colonization of root hairs by the symbiotic bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Specificity in this symbiosis is determined very early during the initial ...
