(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Since 1984, wheat and corn producers have had a new risk management strategy, commodity options, available to them. This research evaluates the performance of selected short hedging strategies, including options and futures. ...
-
(2021-04-30)Conservation management practices such as no-till (NT) and double cropping or cover cropping are vital to food and soil security. Texas is one of the largest wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) producers in the U.S., and typical ...
-
(2013-04-24)Chicken nuggets are commonly made with varying levels of textured vegetable proteins such as soy and wheat, for their ability to bind water and their meat like conformation. This project compared textured wheat proteins ...

Development and Evaluation of Remote Sensing Techniques for Assessing Winter Wheat Growth and Yield (2018-01-05)Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production can be enhanced through the development of improved cultivars with wider genetic background, capable of producing higher yield under various agro-climatic conditions, biotic and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Wheat (Triticum aestiuum L. em. Thell.) is used as both a grain and a forage crop throughout Texas. It is the general practice to graze wheat during the winter, remove the cattle in the spring and allow the wheat to produce ...
-
(2014-08-05)Targeted adaptive physiological trait introgression, a method by which breeders seek to introduce specific characteristics into breeding germplasm in a specific and targeted manner, is one of the primary methods breeders ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Three-component mixtures of wheat genotypes were evaluated for yield performance and effectiveness of control of wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia recondita Rob ex Desm. The studies were conducted in the 1985-86 and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)A representative subset of previous econometric studies of demand, supply and market price determination for U.S. wheat and other selected crops was reviewed and assessed from the perspective of endogenizing farm program ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)A study of F1 hybrids between hard red winter and hard red spring wheats (Triticum aestivum L.) was conducted to estimate heterosis for grain yield, grain yield components, harvest index, height, and test weight; to note ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)An evaluation of heterosis in F1 hybrids of soft red winter wheat (SRWW) and hard red winter wheat (HRWW) was conducted to estimate heterosis in grain yield, yield components, total dry weight, height, test weight, protein ...
-
(2010-10-12)The aim of this study was to identify QTLs associated with the maintenance of grain quality following post-anthesis heat stress. A population of 64 F6Halberd X Cutter recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was exposed to either ...
-
(2018-10-30)Double cropping can increase farm profit and food availability, and may improve soil function by sustaining year-round vegetation and building soil organic matter. However, replacing summer fallow with warm-season double ...
-
(2023-04-12)Remote sensing tools such as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) can screen thousands of genotypes in a short time, thus accelerating the selection process for crop improvement. An experiment was conducted at College Station and ...
-
(2019-11-13)Wheat market volatility research has lessened in recent years, especially since the beginning of the ethanol boom in the late 2000s. Moreover, when digging deeper in preparation for this thesis, basis volatility research, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)A model was developed to simulate the growth of individual wheat plants within a field community. Based on hourly observations of irradiance and temperature, one portion of the model (PHOTO) computes the daily photosynthesis, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco, EC 4.1.1.39) catalyzes the first step in the Calvin pentose phosphate cycle. It is composed of eight large subunits and eight small subunits. The large subunits are ...
-
(2012-10-19)For more than thirty years, studies about the effect of the exchange rate on exports have been conducted. However, few have considered the combined effect of the exchange rate on imported inputs into the agricultural system ...

Portfolio theory and market efficiency : an application to marketing strategies of wheat producers (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)In this study portfolio theory is used within the framework of an efficient market to determine the optimal marketing strategy for a representative wheat producer objective is to maximize expected utility. The problem is ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) has been purified to homogeneity from embryo of tetraploid wheat (T. turgidum) and whole grain of diploid wheat (T. monococcum). The embryo ADH was purified 22 fold and the ADH from whole grain ...
-
(2021-12-09)Understanding genetic architectures of yield and yield components of dryland and irrigated wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is pivotal to developing modern high-yielding germplasm and cultivars, while maintaining end-use quality ...
