Genetic architecture and marker-assisted breeding for salt tolerance in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibits plant growth and causes seed yield loss in soybean. Although a major gene for salt tolerance on chromosome (Chr.) 3 was mapped, cloned and characterized, it does ... -
Genetic mapping of salt tolerance gene in soybean cultivar Fiskeby III
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Salinity in the parts of the southern USA causes injury in soybeans. As a result many farmers prefer varieties that are tolerant to excess sodium and ... -
Genetics of soybean seed lipoxygenases and linolenic acid content in seeds of the soybean wild ancestor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Soybean seeds, valuable feed and food resources, have high protein and oil contents, with a fairly balanced amino acid profile and abundant essential fatty acids (FA). Linolenic acid (18:3), an essential [omega]-3 type of ... -
Genotype, environment and GE interaction effect on soybean oil composition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Changing the content of the five major soy-oil fatty acids is important to enhance food, fuel and other applications of soybean oil. In addition to genetic effects, the growth environment can significantly affect oil ... -
Investigation of resistance to Heterodera glycines (scn) in soybean plant introductions (pi) 467312 and 507354
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) Heterodera glycines Ichinohe is the most serious pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the world. The effectiveness ... -
Physiological traits underlying differences in salt tolerance among glycine species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Salinity drastically reduces crop yield by limiting water uptake and causing ion-specific stress. Soybean is sensitive to soil salinity. Previous studies, however, have shown that there is variability among soybean genotypes ... -
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 ...
