Analysis of the Compositional Variation in the Epicuticular Wax Layer of Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Beecher, Francis Ward (2013-05-08)Epicuticular waxes form a layer on the outer surface of all land plants and play a fundamental role in their interaction with the environment. Development of a rapid and accurate method for the characterization of these ...
-
Yang, Yan (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 ...
-
Li, Jingjia (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 ...
-
Mondal, Suchismita (2012-07-16)In wheat, cooler canopies have been associated with yield under high temperature stress. The objectives of this study were, i) to understand the role of leaf cuticular waxes as physiological adaptive mechanisms during ...
-
Awika, Henry (2012-07-16)Crops adapted to dry conditions are essential to meet future food, feed and energy needs. Knowledge of interaction between drought tolerance traits and their response to varying water supply conditions would improve selection ...
-
Mahan, Adam Lyle (2015-05-01)In order to gain a better understanding of the effects and amount of recombination that can be available to future plant breeding endeavors, a unique mapping population was created. A di-hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) cross ...
-
Chen, Yuan (2013-05-06)Many environmental stress factors have been identified that increase square and boll abscission and thus result in reduced cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield. Under stress conditions, ethylene, an endogenous hormone, is ...
-
Jondiko, Tom Odhiambo (2012-02-14)Tortilla sales are projected to exceed 9.5 billion by 2014. However, currently no wheat cultivars have been identified that possess the intrinsic quality attributes needed for the production of optimum quality tortillas. ...
-
Ali, Mohamed Badry Mohamed (2012-02-14)Identifying reliable screening tools and characterizing tolerant germplasm sources is essential for developing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties suited for the hot areas of the world. Our objective was to evaluate ...
-
Reddy, Bharath Krishna (2015-08-31)Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most-widely cultivated and third most-produced grain crop in the world. Wheat contributes 19% calories and 21% protein of the global population diet. With an astounding increase in this ...
-
Simoneaux, Bryan Edwin (2020-12-03)Many research institutions conduct annual forage trials to determine which species and varieties of those species produce the most biomass in specific geographical areas. These trials can be costly, time consuming and ...
-
Woloohojian, Lauren Gale (2017-05-09)Around the 1960s, barley was grown on nearly 170,372 hectares (ha) throughout Texas. Today, it is planted on less than 12,000 ha and is mainly used as a feed and forage source for livestock. In recent years, interest in ...
-
Darapuneni, Murali (2012-10-19)Finding the alternate biofuel feedstock(s) in addition to and/or replacement of traditional soybean feedstock is necessary to meet the future demand of biofuels. Two field studies were conducted in diverse environments in ...
-
Al-Azzawi, Rasha (2014-08-06)Performance yield trials are some of the most expensive processes in a cotton breeding program. Cotton plots require a great deal of land, agronomic inputs, and plot-sample processing. Much of the equipment is expensive ...
-
Wang, Zhen (2023-08-07)Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is among most important food crops. Continuous improvement of yield and adaptability is an eternal goal to ensure the world food security under climate change and population increasing ...
-
Corn, Rebecca J. (2011-02-22)Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) has potential as a bioenergy feedstock due to its high yield potential and the production of simple sugars for fermentation. Sweet sorghum cultivars are typically tall, high biomass types ...
-
Camarillo Castillo, Fatima Del Rosario (2017-07-13)The increasing demand of wheat and the incidence of extreme weather events demand the development of high yielding wheat cultivars with resilience to extreme heat events. Photoprotective traits, as cuticular waxes, support ...
-
Beecher, Francis Ward (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 ...
-
Sengodon, Padmavathi (2015-08-10)High temperature and drought are the major constraints to wheat production globally. However, plants cope with stress by manipulating their physiological processes. This study investigates the role of leaf and glume wax ...
-
Alsolami, Wail (2014-06-03)Biofuels that share similarities to petro-diesel regarding combustion properties have received renewed attention. Triacylglycerols (TAG) comprise the main compound in plant oil seed crops and animal fats that is used for ...
