(2017-07-25)Uniform tiller distribution and plant architecture are crucial traits that are directly linked to the length of vegetative and reproductive phases. Minimum vegetative growth and an earlier synchronized flowering pattern ...
-
(2016-07-27)Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are typically incapable of addressing the influx of antibiotics (AB), and may act as a harbor for the selection and proliferation of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). In order to examine ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The region of eastern and southern Africa is very diverse in environments and agronomic practices. The region has one of the highest per capita consumption of maize (Zea mays. L), which is predominantly produced by smallholder ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Genetic resource enhancement is the foundation of any good breeding program. Landraces from West Africa, interspecifics between Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima and improved lines from the West African Rice Development ...
-
(2019-07-16)Nutrient management is vital for food, feed, fiber, and fuel production. However, excessive application and loss (volatilization, leaching, run-off, etc.) of inorganic and organic sources of nutrients have significant, ...
-
Characterization of Overwintering Perenniality in Napiergrass: Traditional and Molecular Approaches (2015-12-16)Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is a tropical grass limited in adaptation to the southern United States, and efforts to expand its area of production as a quality forage crop as well as a high-biomass biofuel ...

-
(2018-05-23)Defining genetic architecture of complex traits is a fundamental step towards marker-assisted selection (MAS) for wheat improvement. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies provide prime information on the action, number and ...
-
(2022-07-26)Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is an important tree nut species in the United States with average annual in-shell nut production value of $430 million in 2020 according to the NASS. The present research characterized a core ...
-
(2020-04-16)Development of flood-tolerant crops provides a pivotal resource to agriculture, helping to reduce yield loss and plant damage from fields with water-saturated soil conditions due to heavy rains, excessive irrigation, or ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2012-02-14)Whole ground white, high tannin and black sorghum with and without additional high tannin sorghum bran were used in different proportions to develop ready to eat breakfast cereals and snacks. The effect of extrusion on the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Nutrient over-loading in many dairy manure-amended soils in the dairy producing areas of Texas has led to environmental problems as such eutrophication of local surface water bodies. One of the nutrients contributing to ...
-
(2016-05-09)Maize is a leading food, feed and bioenergy crop in the U.S. and the world, while grain yield is the most important to all cereals, including maize, wheat, rice and sorghum. Since genes are the keys to comprehensively ...
-
(2009-05-15)The color stability of 3-deoxyanthocyanins extracted from Tx430 Black and Black tannin sorghum brans were exposed to different pHs, temperatures, water activities, and concentrations for comparison with synthetic colorants ...
-
(2009-05-15)An appropriate tester correctly identifies the relative performance of experimental lines while maximizing the differences between lines. Most sorghum breeding programs use elite inbred lines testers. Inbred line testers ...
-
(2009-06-02)Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei Bucholz) has encroached into the historical grasslands of the Edwards Plateau. This area is environmentally sensitive as it serves as the recharge zone for the Edwards aquifer, providing large ...
-
(2016-08-08)Conventional tillage (CT) increases the exposure of soil to erosion and is associated with lower soil moisture and organic matter than conservation tillage. Conservation tillage may benefit farmers in semi-arid regions of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The objectives of this work were to evaluate the vegetative parameters used to estimate crop N demand and to estimate the accuracy and precision of the conceptual model of fertilization using an error propagation method. ...
-
(2021-12-08)Due to the potency of nitrous oxide (N₂O) as a contributor to the greenhouse effect, and the relationship between N₂O emissions agricultural soil management, understanding N₂O dynamics within agricultural production is an ...
