Influence of beds and row spacing in winter wheat, and by-plant prediction of corn forage yield
(2005-12)
Scope and Method of Study: For chapter one, Hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) experiments were conducted to evaluate varieties, N rate, and row spacing in bedded and conventional planting systems. A factorial ...
Estimation of genetic parameters in several switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) populations
(2005-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The objectives of this study were to determine: 1) the effects of high- and low-biomass yield environments on plant selection in breeding switchgrass for enhanced biomass yield using recurrent ...
Identification of expression profiles of sorghum genes in response to greenbug phloem-feeding and characterization of the two sorghum defense-related genes, Xa1 and oxysterol-binding protein
(2005-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The greenbug phloem-feeding elicits unique interactions with plants. Using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and subsequent microarray analyses, expression profiling of sorghum genes ...
Evaluating methods for improving nitrogen use efficiency in corn and hard red winter wheat
(2005-05)
Scope and Method of Study: For chapter one, Corn (Zea mays L.) experiments were conducted to evaluate spectral reflectance, measuring the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) with a GreenSeeker Hand Held optical ...
Biochemical, physiological, and molecular characterization of mannitol accumulating transgenic wheat in response to water deficit stress
(2005-12)
Water deficit stress is a major factor that affects crop productivity. Mannitol accumulation has been reported to increase tolerance of plants to water deficit stress through several mechanisms. In this study we evaluate ...
Proximate mechanisms of contemporary Juniperus virginiana expansion
(2005-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of plant community traits and resource availability on Juniperus virginiana expansion and to examine conservation programs that promote ...
