Chloroplast GFP expression in tobacco plants agroinfiltrated with tobacco mosaic virus based vectors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Viruses are submicroscopic infectious particles comprising of nucleic acid and protein which can replicate only within living host cells. TMV is a ... -
Efficacy of oriental mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern.) seed meal for weed and disease control in turf
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Pest management in turf involves the use of fumigants such as methyl bromide, as well as selective pesticides. However, the loss of methyl bromide and development of disease resistance to fungicides suggests that more ... -
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 ... -
Influence of herbicide applications and common pasture weeds on total forage yield and nutritive values in tall fescue pastures and hayfields in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The addition of several new herbicides labeled for pastures or hayfields has led many growers to question their options for weed management in these environments. In addition, little is known about the influence of common ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Weed management and nitrogen loss in glyphosate-resistant corn (Zea mays)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The advent of glyphosate-resistant corn in Missouri has changed traditional reemergence (PRE) followed by postemeregence (POST) herbicide programs to ones that predominately utilize glyphosate POST. POST only programs can ...
