    • Characterization and identification of productivity-associated rhizobacteria in wheat 

      Anderson, Michael; Habiger, Joshua (American Society for Microbiology, 2012-06)
      The rhizosphere is populated by a numerous and diverse array of rhizobacteria, and many impact productivity in largely unknown ways. Here we characterize the rhizobacterial community in a wheat variety categorized according ...

    • Cost of forward contracting hard red winter wheat 

      Townsend, John P.; Brorsen, B. Wade (Cambridge University Press, 2000-04)
      Two methods were used to estimate the cost of forward contracting hard red winter wheat. One hundred days before delivery, the estimated cost of forward contracting ranged from six cents/bu. to eight cents/bu. Thus, further ...

    • Genetic association of OPR genes with resistance to Hessian fly in hexaploid wheat 

      Tan, Chor Tee; Carver, Brett Frederick; Chen, Ming-Shun; Gu, Yong-Qiang; Yan, Liuling (BioMed Central, 2013-06-01)
      Background: Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) is one of the most destructive pests of wheat. The genes encoding 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase (OPR) and lipoxygenase (LOX) play critical roles in insect resistance ...

    • Optimal stocking density for dual-purpose winter wheat production 

      Kaitibie, Simeon; Epplin, Francis M.; Brorsen, B. Wade; Horn, Gerald W.; Krenzer, Eugene G., Jr.; Paisley, Steven I. (Cambridge University Press, 2003-04)
      Dual-purpose winter wheat production is an important economic enterprise in the southern Great Plains of the United States. Because of the complex interactions involved in producing wheat grain and beef gain from a single ...

    • Value of increasing kernel uniformity 

      Yoon, Byung-Sam; Brorsen, B. Wade; Lyford, Conrad P. (Western Agricultural Economics Association, 2002-12)
      Kernel uniformity is an important quality attribute that can now be measured at low cost. This study analyzes the profitability of sorting to increase wheat kernel uniformity. Nonlinear programming is used to sort grain ...
