The biology and ecology of tuber aestivum mycorrhizae establishment in the greenhouse and the field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Truffles, of the ectomycorrhizal genus tuber, are cultivated in plantations to offset declining wild production. Although methods for truffle plantation management have been published, methods for the production of ... -
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 ... -
Integrated management of the invasive weed, cut-leaved teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus L.) along a Missouri highways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Cut-leaved leaved teasel is an invasive, exotic, and noxious weed in Missouri. Biennial plant infest roadsides and undisturbed areas. Studies regarding seed biology, detection, and control measures were conducted to improve ... -
Manganese nutrition and photosynthesis in NAD-malic enzyme C-4 plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Based on their photosynthetic pathways, plants can be divided into three major groups: C-3, CAM, and C-4. In C-4 plants, the release of CO2 for Calvin cycle reactions in bundle sheath cells (BSC) involves one of the three ... -
Physiological traits underlying differences in salt tolerance among glycine species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Salinity drastically reduces crop yield by limiting water uptake and causing ion-specific stress. Soybean is sensitive to soil salinity. Previous studies, however, have shown that there is variability among soybean genotypes ...
