Co-ordinated expression of CRTB, At-VTE3, and VTE4 to enhance pro-vitamin A and vitamin E in transgenic soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Although soybean is an excellent general nutritional source, it is not very rich in particular vitamins. The main goal of this study is to enhance both pro-vitamin A (carotenoids) and vitamin E (tocopherols) content in ... -
Control of amaranthus species using dicamba as a pre- and post-herbicide in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)The auxinic herbicide dicamba has been used traditionally as a selective post emergent (POST) herbicide for control of broadleaf weeds in monocot cropping systems. Dicamba resistance is an emerging technology that will ... -
Dual use switchgrass :
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Two studies were conducted on established switchgrass plots at Columbia and Mount Vernon, Missouri. The Columbia site was located on Mexico silt loam, and the Mount Vernon site on Viraton silt loam. The first study examined ... -
Low temperature survival of 'Redhaven' peach floral buds on selected rootstocks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)The relative cold tolerance of 'Redhaven' peach floral buds grafted onto various rootstocks was evaluated at selected dates from November 2011 to March 2013. Budwood was collected from trees in coordinated rootstock trials ... -
Managing sweet sorghum for optimum ethanol yield in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Sweet sorghum has the potential in Missouri for production as a biofuel feedstock, but little is known of the crop's yields and appropriate nitrogen management for optimizing ethanol yields. This thesis is a collection of ... -
Seed protein, oil, and yield of soybean genotypes with high and normal oleic acid concentration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Soybeans with seed oil high in oleic acid content have been developed and are desired by oil processors because of improved oxidative stability for broader use in food, fuel and other products. Conventional soybean lines ... -
Soil characteristics and subsequent corn development following partial corn residue removal in a no-till, corn-soybean rotation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)If producers employ corn (Zea mays L.) residue removal for ethanol production, soil and subsequent corn development characteristics could be affected. Little research has evaluated partial corn residue removal from baling ...
