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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
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 ...
