Characterization of raffinose synthase genes in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)As the use of soy products in foods and feeds increases, it is ever more important to consider the nutritional value of each component of the seed. The carbohydrate component is largely composed of sucrose, raffinose, and ... -
Comparison of three tall fescue-based stocker systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)A two-year study was conducted on tall fescue-based pastures to evaluate three approaches to rotationally stocking stocker calves. Within each year, two sets (a spring set and a fall set) of crossbred steers were stratified ... -
Molecular characterization of soybean squalene synthases (GmSQSs) and genetic engineering for enhanced phytosterols in Arabidopsis seeds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Squalene synthase (SQS), which converts fanesyl diphosphate (FPP) to squalene, represents a crucial branch point of the isoprenoid pathway and is ... -
Viability, vigor, and field performance of a low phytic acid, high phytase activity soybean line, CAPPA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Plants store inorganic phosphate (Pi) in seeds as phytic acid (PA). Phytic acid chelates essential macro and micronutrients in developing seeds forming phytate, which is nutritionally unavailable to monogastric livestock. ... -
Weed management and nitrogen loss in glyphosate-resistant corn (Zea mays)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The advent of glyphosate-resistant corn in Missouri has changed traditional reemergence (PRE) followed by postemeregence (POST) herbicide programs to ones that predominately utilize glyphosate POST. POST only programs can ...
