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 ... -
Molecular characterization of genetic resistance to soybean cyst nematode in soybean line SS97-6946
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycine) is the most damaging pest of soybean and estimated annual yield losses are 1.5 billion dollars in USA. Breeding resistant cultivars is the most efficient means to control ... -
Physiological responses of continental (summer-active) and mediterranean (summer-dormant) tall Fescue to cold stress and identification of underlying QTL for fall growth and winter survival
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)We describe three experiments; the first two experiments were conducted in a greenhouse and with the use of cold chambers. The first experiment determined the effect of endophyte (Neotyphodium ceonophialum) presence under ... -
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 ...
