(2017-08-10)The objective of this study was to determine the influence of different maize growth location and different maize varieties on new-make whiskey aroma development. Three maize varieties (Dyna-Gro – D57VP51; Mycogen – 2 C797; ...
-
(2012-07-16)Maize production is limited agronomically by the availability of water and nutrients during the growing season. Of these two limiting factors, water availability is predicted to increase in importance as climate change ...
-
(2010-07-14)A billion tons per year of genetically modified corn residues are soil incorporated having both direct and indirect effects on the belowground environment, soil carbon (C) sequestration, and nutrient cycling. If Bt genetic ...
-
(2021-04-07)Corn is a vital ingredient to the whiskey industry, most notably as the main ingredient in bourbon whiskey. However, little research exists that explores how genetic, environment, and gene-environment interaction effects ...
-
(2017-05-10)Analysis of grain samples for nutrient composition is useful for breeding crops with improved nutritional, industrial or agronomic value. Wet chemistry analysis for composition components can be costly and laborious; ...
-
(2021-12-06)Infection of seed with two major ear rot pathogens of maize, Fusarium verticillioides and Aspergillus flavus, lead to high yield losses and detrimental health effects to humans and animals through the production of mycotoxins, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Quality protein maize (QPM), high protein corn (HPC) and food grade maize (FGM) were processed into tortillas and direct expanded extruded snacks. QPM had similar test weight, density and kernel size with 45% more lysine ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) are enzymes of the octadecanoid pathway which converts linolenic acid to a phytohormone, jasmonic acid. Bioinformatics analysis of ESTs and genomic sequences from available ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)One major problem facing maize producers in the southern US is contamination with the mycotoxin aflatoxin, produced by Aspergillus flavus (Link:fr). Aflatoxin is a serious threat to human and animal health, with no ...
-
(2016-11-02)Texas, as the major maize producer in the Southern United States, faces serious problems in maize production (i.e. drought stress and aflatoxin contamination) as well as in maize breeding. In the Texas A&M maize breeding ...
-
(2016-08-19)Consumer interest in natural ingredients has increased demand for natural food colorants. 3-Deoxyanthocyanin pigments from sorghum are more stable to food processing conditions than anthocyanin analogs. However, ...
-
(2016-04-04)Cultivar progression requires years of development prior to performance trials; reducing development time requirements as well as introgression of favorable alleles is crucial to the rapid improvement of cultivars. ...
-
(2016-04-27)Fusarium verticillioides is a fungal pathogen of row crops, such as maize and sugarcane, and produces the toxic secondary metabolite, fumonisin B1 (FB1). The first topic of this research was aimed to isolate and characterize ...
-
(2015-05-12)The Texas maize breeding program at Texas A&M University has been unique among breeding programs for the incorporation of a wealth of germplasm from a wide range of origins into inbred lines. The Texas program, situated ...
-
(2012-12-12)Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the main crops grown in the United States. Genetic improvement over the last century has seen a shift from using open-pollinated varieties to single cross hybrids. This has resulted in major ...
-
(2018-11-06)Jasmonic Acid (JA) is one of the important substances that associates with stomatal closure under drought stress for maize. In this project, we performed multiple network analyses to identify the expression patterns of JA ...
-
(2017-12-11)Lipid signals derived from lipoxygenases (LOX), called oxylipins, emerge as pivotal mediators in responses to environmental constraints including biotic and abiotic stresses. Anthracnose leaf blight and stalk rot caused ...
-
(2009-05-15)Pre-harvest aflatoxin contamination is a major limitation to maize production in Texas and the southern United States, causing major economic loss and severe health problems worldwide. Screening for resistance to aflatoxin ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Market information services established in 1999 were aimed at the promotion of market efficiency through provision of information across the nation. While the responsible bodies have improved the knowledge of prices, ...
-
(2009-06-02)Exotic germplasm has potential to provide new alleles for disease and insect resistance. US maize (Zea mays L.) currently lacks genetic resistance to Aspergillus flavus, a fungal pathogen that produces aflatoxin in maize ...
