Benefits of community gardens for Burmese refugees
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The community gardens aim to improve the quality of life for the people encountering modern urbanization. The community garden is an important component that benefits refugees who have resettled in the US. Some Burmese ... -
Characterization of black walnut (Juglans nigra) cultivars for agroforestry systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The identification of complementary species combinations will accelerate the expansion of temperate agroforestry. Since the mid-19th century, European timber plantations have taken advantage of the late-leafing habit of ... -
The development of the Heterodimeric enhanced Yeast-One Hybrid (HD-eY1H) assay
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Life can be summarized as a continuous struggle to maintain homeostasis - or balance - despite dynamic changes in environmental conditions. Changes in gene expression is one of the many ways organisms can interact and ... -
Diversity and evolution of the sauropsid trigeminal sensory system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Understanding the evolution of sensory perception is essential in explaining organismal behavior. Organisms using environmental stimuli to navigate their environments, avoid predation, capture prey, and find a mate, have ... -
Estimation of crop residue cover in high-resolution RGB images using features from a pre-trained convolutional neural network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Plant residue on the soil surface increases the sustainability food and fiber production in agricultural systems. Automated assessments of residue cover based on imagery has the potential to reduce labor and human bias ... -
Evaluation of harvest weed seed destruction in U.S. soybean and a survey of waterhemp populations response to dicamba and glufosinate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)"One impact mill commonly used in commercial production in Australia is known as the Seed Terminator[trademark]. Independent research has shown the Seed Terminator[trademark] to be an effective HWSC tool in Australian grain ... -
Genomics of small RNAs in the Brassicales
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)In Chapter 1, I examined the relationship between TEs and genome size in the Brassicales, in Chapter 2 I characterized sRNAs in Brassicaceae, and in Chapter 3 I evaluate nat-siRNAs as a sRNA type. In this introduction, I ... -
Impact of electrocution on weed control and weed seed viability in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Field experiments were conducted in 2020 and 2021 to test the effectiveness of electrocution on several weeds commonly encountered in Missouri soybean production using an implement known as The Weed Zapper[trademark]. The ... -
A mixed method approach to exploring landowner interest in woody plantings to integrate conservation and production on Missouri farms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Agroforestry plantings can provide multiple benefits such as reduced soil erosion, decreased nutrient runoff, increased biodiversity, and greater farm income stability. This array of benefits makes them a promising ...
