Abscisic acid: interactions with ethylene and reactive oxygen species in the regulation of root growth under water deficit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in several responses to plant water deficits, including an important role in root growth maintenance. Studies of the ABA-deficient maize mutant viviparous 14 (vp14) showed that ABA-deficiency ... -
Buriscon regulated immune response in Drosophila melanogaster
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Bursicon is a heterodimeric neurohormone which binds to the receptor LGR2 and regulates various aspects in cuticle sclerotization and wing expansion ... -
The chemical ecology of the lesser chestnut weevil : behavioral and electrophysiological responses of Curculio sayi (Coleoptera: curculionidae) to host-plant volatile organic compounds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The most abundant volatile organic compounds (VOC) from chestnut reproductive plant tissue (catkin, nut and bur) were identified with gas chromatography and mass-spectrometry (GC-MS). Two-choice behavioral bioassays were ... -
Competition and management of volunteer corn (Zea Mays L.) in corn
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Volunteer corn (Zea mays L.) is the result of corn kernels remaining in the field following harvest and is a competitive weed in a number of subsequent crops. With widespread adoption of glyphosate-resistant (Gly-R) corn, ... -
Development of high-throughput phenotyping tools to enhance soybean yields
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Increasing yield is the primary objective of most crop breeding programs and yield is often the primary selection criterion. In drought-prone environments, ... -
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 ... -
Glyphosate resistance : pollen movement within a common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) population and herbicide release from common waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis sauer) plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Common ragweed and Common waterhemp are native, summer annual weeds distributed widely throughout the United States. Both weed species have developed resistance to the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate. Research was ...
