Functional characterization of petiolule-like pulvinus (PLP) gene in abscission zone development in Medicago truncatula and its application on alfalfa improvement
Du, Juan (2019-12)Organ abscission plays an important role in plant development. To date, little is known about genes involved in leaf abscission zone differentiation. Leaf loss during the haymaking process in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) ... -
Gene expression differences between shortleaf pine and loblolly pine after top-killing
Liu, Yanyan (2009-07)Scope and Method of Study: Shortleaf pine sprouts prolifically after disturbance such as fire. Much attention has been paid to its restoration due to its increasingly declining population. Shortleaf pine's strong sprouting ... -
Genetic and quantitative trait loci mapping in African bermudagrass and characterization of winter survivability and drought response in turf-type bermudagrass
Yu, Shuhao (2020-12)African bermudagrass (Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) is frequently used to cross with common bermudagrass (C. dactylon Pers.) in the creation of F1 hybrid cultivars that most widely used in the worldwide turf industry. ... -
Genetic basis and molecular mechanism of wheat development
Yu, Ming (2014-12)Wheat is one of the most important crops in the world. Wheat can be classified according to its qualitative requirement for low temperature to accelerate flowering (i.e. vernalization). Winter wheat has a vernalization ... -
Genetic basis of nitrogen use efficiency and its application in wheat breeding
Lei, Lei (2018-07)Nitrogen is the major limiting factor in crop production worldwide, and N is now the single largest input cost for many crops including wheat. Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a complex trait, and as many as 25 genes have ... -
Identification of genes contributing to adult plant leaf rust resistance in winter wheat in Oklahoma
Hassan, Muhammad Safeer-ul (2008-12)Scope and Method of Study: -
Mapping of quantitative traits important to dual-purpose management of winter wheat
Wang, Shuwen (2009-12)Scope and Method of Study: -
Molecular analysis of WOX9 function in dicot leaf blade development and identification of sorghum florigens
Watira, Tezera Wolabu (2015-12) -
Population genetics of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) hybridization and introgression
Stewart, John F. (2010-12)Scope and Method of Study: Molecular markers, population genetics, ecological genetics, hybridization, introgression, conservation -
QTL mapping and molecular characterization of the sugarcane aphid [Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)] resistance gene in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) moench]
Huang, Jian (2019-05)Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world. Sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner), is a new invasive pest of sorghum species in North America, which causes severe ... -
Screening switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) for water stress tolerance
Fahej, Mohamed Ali (2012-05)Scope and Method of Study: Switchgrass can benefit from enhanced water stress tolerance as it will be grown in marginal areas. Whole plant and in vitro culture techniques can help to improve switchgrass biomass production ... -
Shriveled seed (svd), a P1B-type HMA5 transporter ATPase, is involved in copper detoxification to control sorghum growth and development
Tadesse, Dimiru Tilahun (2020-12)The world population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, putting strong pressure on food security and agricultural productivity. Understanding plant developmental programs will aid in improving productivity by ...
