• Delineating the functional roles of dynamin related proteins in plant innate immunity 

  Smith, John M. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Vesicular trafficking mediates the movement of cargo molecules from donor to target organelles and is emerging as a critical means by which plants modulate immune responses to microbial pathogens. However, relatively few ...

• Effects of western corn rootworm larval feeding, drought, and their interaction on maize performance and rootworm development 

  Mahmoud, Mervat Ahmed Badawy (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

• Estimating above and below ground vegetation biomass and carbon storage across an intra-urban land-use gradient in mid-Missouri 

  Spiegel, Elizabeth Knight (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

• Emergence and control of horseweed (Conyza canadensis)

• A comprehensive, systems-biology analysis of the response of soybean root hairs and stripped roots to heat stress 

  Batek, Josef (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Heat stress is likely to be a key factor in the negative impact of climate change on crop production. Heat stress significantly influences the functions of roots, which provide support, water and nutrients to other plant ...

• Increased Corn Rotation Frequency Cropping System Impacts on Soil Functional Properties 

  Matson, Jeremy Tyler (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Crop rotations including more corn have become common in the southern region of the U.S Corn Belt due to high grain production levels and economic benefits. This increase in corn adoption has raised concerns about the ...

• Corn physiology and yield response to hybrid and seeding rate on claypan soils 

  Leonard, Brock (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Yield improvements over the past few decades have been attributed to increasing optimum plant population and not the increase of grain produced per plant. A goal in precision agriculture is to identify seeding rates that ...

• Diversity of Macroinvertebrates in tributaries of the jacks fork and current rivers, Ozark national scenic riverways, Missouri and efficacy of springfed tributaries as refugia 

  Heth, Rachel L. S. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Disturbance is a dominant force shaping stream communities and recovery from disturbance requires the presence of refugia or environments where disturbance effects are lessened. In the Missouri Ozark region, groundwater-dominant ...

• Integration of cultural practices and herbicide-resistant crop technologies for the management of glyphosate-resistant waterhemp in soybean 

  Schultz, John Lawrence (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)

  Common waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis Sauer) is the most prominent and troublesome weed in agronomic crops in Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois. As of 2014 in the U.S., herbicide resistance was present in waterhemp to one or more ...

• Management of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) using post-emergence herbicides and plant growth regulators 

  Haguewood, John B. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)

• Influence of Manganese and other micronutrients on soybean yield and seed quality 

  Frank, Michael Joseph (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)

  Soybean (Gycine max [L.] Merr.) is the most popular oil seed crop in the United States and is the most widely planted row crop in the state of Missouri. The majority of soybean oil is used to produce processed food for ...

• Identification of nontarget-site mechanisms of glyphosate resistance in roots and pollen of Amaranthus and Ambrosia 

  Shauck, Tye C. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)

• Evaluation of agrochemical interactions and application timings in corn and soybean 

  Solomon, Craig Bradley (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)

  Due to the increase in glyphosate-resistant (GR) weeds, two agrochemical companies have developed soybeans with resistance to 2,4-D and dicamba in an effort to provide growers with new options for the control of problematic ...

• Effect of rootstock on vegetative growth, yield, and fruit composition of Norton grapevines 

  Harris, Jackie Leigh (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)

  Norton is an important commercial grape cultivar commonly grown in Missouri and the surrounding region because of its wine quality and disease resistance. However, own-rooted Norton vines typically produce fruit with high ...

• Historical landscape interactions and patterns of invasion by subterranean termites (Isoptera: Reticulitermes) in subdivisions of different ages 

  Botch, Paul S., 1979- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)

  The subterranean termite genus Reticulitermes includes some of the most economically destructive termites in the United States, where it is estimated that costs associated with prevention and control may reach $11 billion ...

• Identification of an extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate receptor in Arabidopsis thaliana 

  Choi, Jeongmin, 1982- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)

  Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a well-known energy currency in all organisms. However, ATP also acts as a signaling molecule when it is secreted outside the cell. The long-term goal of my research is to understand the ...

• Improve small RNA-mediated gene silencing in soybean by using GmFAD3 as a test model 

  Lu, Sha, 1985- ([University of Missouri--Columbia], 2014)

  The primary goal of this work is to improve RNAi technology as a tool to analyze gene function and manipulate commercial traits in soybean. We have developed two RNAi approaches towards the silencing of soybean genes: one ...
