A Comparative Evaluation of Textured Wheat Ingredients and Soy Proteins in the Quality and Acceptability of Chicken Nuggets
(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 ... -
Analysis of selected short hedging strategies for Texas wheat and corn producers
(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. ... -
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 ... -
The effect of forage utilization on the grain yield of wheat
(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 ... -
Evaluation of Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Ground Penetrating Radar for Field-Based High-Throughput Phenotyping in Wheat Breeding
(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 ... -
Government policy impacts on the U.S. wheat sector
(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 ... -
Heterosis for grain yield and its components in winter by spring wheat hybrids
(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 ... -
Heterosis for grain yield and its components in winter wheat F₁ hybrids
(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 ... -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) Associated with Maintenance of Bread Making Quality under Heat Stress in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(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 ... -
The Impacts on Double Cropping in a Winter Wheat System on Soil Health and Crop Yields
(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 ... -
Measuring Basis Volatility in Hard Red Winter Wheat Markets
(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, ... -
Modeling the competitive environment of field crops
(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, ... -
Molecular characterization of the ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase multigene family in hexaploid wheat
(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 ... -
The Net Effect of Exchange Rates on Agricultural Inputs and Outputs
(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 ... -
Purification and partial characterization of wheat alcohol dehydrogenase
(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 ... -
The relationships between the crop moisture index and wheat production in Kansas
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)One crop reporting district (CRD) in each of the three former climatic divisions of Kansas is picked for agroclimatological analysis of the annual wheat yields per planted, non-irrigated hectare, and the weekly Crop Moisture ... -
Screening Texas A&M Germplasm and Environments for Hybrid Wheat Potential
(2015-12-16)Higher wheat prices, performance potential of hybrids, and the availability of new next generation sequencing has sparked a renewed interest in the development of hybrid wheat. The main advantages of hybrids are higher ... -
