• Manganese nutrition and photosynthesis in NAD-malic enzyme C-4 plants 

    Kering, Maru K., 1970- (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 ...
  • Phosphorus nutrition in tall fescue : from stockpiling to seed production 

    McClain, William Edward, 1970- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is the most important forage for beef production in the Midwest. Stockpiling tall fescue allows producers to extend the grazing season and reduce winter-feeding costs. In Missouri, forages ...
  • Remobilization of leaf nitrogen in stockpiled tall fescue 

    Remley, Melissa Ann, 1980- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    Missouri's beef industry is supported by more than five million hectares of pasture containing the grass tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum). Stockpiled (accumulated autumn growth used for winter grazing) tall fescue leaf ...
