AFLP genetic variation, inbreds development, and QTL localization for plant height in lowland switchgrass
Makaju, Shiva (2014-12)Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has gained wider attention due to its recognition as a model herbaceous crop species for bioenergy production. The objectives of this research were to analyze genetic variation among and ... -
Effect of cultivation practices on soil physical properties and temporal shade on photosynthesis of creeping bentgrass used for golf greens
Amgain, Naba Raj (2020-07)Organic matter accumulation and soil compaction is a major concern for turfgrass managers, causing an increase in the softness of the surface, decreased water infiltration rate, and increased surface water retention. The ... -
Epigenetic regulation of microRNA395 expression under sulfate deprivation in Arabidopsis thaliana
Ng, Pei Jia (2021-05)MicroRNAs fine-tune target gene expression at post-transcriptional level in organ-, cell-, developmental stage- and stress-specific manner. MicroRNA395 (miR395) targets transcripts encoding two different classes of proteins, ... -
Evaluating capabilities of novel warm-season crops to fill forage deficit periods in the Southern Great Plains
Baath, Gurjinder Singh (2019-12)Low nutritive value of perennial grasses during mid-late summer limits stocker cattle production in the Southern Great Plains (SGP). Our objectives were to explore annual crop species that might fit as a summer forage, and ... -
Evaluating photosynthetic responses of sorghum (grain and forage) and soybean to temperature stress
Katta, Jhansy Reddy (2019-07)Physiology, growth and development of crop plants are driven by temperature and temperatures either side of the optimum lead to temperature stress. The objective of this research was to quantify the effect of temperature ... -
Evaluation of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Root Characteristics as Influenced by Row Spacing and Cultivar
Pandey, Arjun (Oklahoma State University, 2012-05-01)Switchgrass, a model herbaceous energy crop has high potential for C sequestration from atmosphere and also improves soil quality via its deep fibrous root system. The individual root and the entire root system, various ... -
Molecular and Physiological Indicators of Drought Stress in Soft White Spring Wheat at the Vegetative Stage Development
Alotaibi, Majed Abdulrahman (2018-05-01)Drought stress has negative effects at all wheat stages and can reduce the total yield by 50%. Two greenhouse were executed one for RNA sequencing and the other one was for chlorophyll fluorescence measurements under drought ... -
Net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide and water vapor fluxes in switchgrass and high biomass sorghum
Wagle, Pradeep (2013-12)Understanding carbon and water dynamics of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) and high biomass sorghum ((Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) ecosystems is crucial as the acreage of these feedstocks is expanding for cellulosic biofuels. ... -
Parameterization and Application of the Aquacrop Model for Simulating Bioenergy Crops in Oklahoma
Bilga, Navneet Kaur (Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)The objective of this study was to parameterize the AquaCrop model for two bioenergy crops, switchgrass and forage sorghum, using field measurements from Stillwater, Oklahoma in 2011. The parameterized model was then ... -
Production economics of potential perennial and annual biomass feedstocks
Griffith, Andrew P. (2012-05)Scope and Method of Study: The first essay determines the lowest cost lignocellulosic biomass feedstock production system for western Oklahoma from among seven alternatives at each of two locations. Field experiments were ... -
Remote sensing application in biomass crop production systems in Oklahoma
Foster, Anserd Julius (2013-12)This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of nitrogen and cropping systems on biomass yield and quality and to describe the spatial variation of biomass yield, soil carbon and nitrogen within a switchgrass ... -
Screening of Winter Wheat Double Haploid Population ‘Buster’ under Heat and Drought Stress
Poudel, Pratishtha (2016-12-01)The major abiotic stresses associated with wheat production throughout the world are heat and drought. The objective of this research was to screen a double haploid (DH) ‘Buster’ population to identify and select DH lines ... -
Seed Growth and Photosynthetic Dynamics of Soybean Experiencing Drought Stress
Curl, Patrick James (2017-05-01)Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield is sensitive to drought stress during critical reproductive growth stages. This study was conducted to determine both the ability of the soybean to recover after drought stress has ...
