Defining Bee Pollinator Community Composition In Tennessee Soybean, Andrew L. Lawson
Defining Bee Pollinator Community Composition In Tennessee Soybean, Andrew L. Lawson
Masters Theses
Two planting dates of various soybean varieties were planted in Jackson and Knoxville, TN during 2018 and 2019 with the overall intent of surveying the diversity bee (Hymenoptera) genera in these agroecosystems and also to assess the potential for using late maturing soybean as a food resource for bees during the dearth of floral resources that often occurs during the fall. We also investigated how manipulating planting dates and soybean variety selection affected the occurrence of insect pests that occurred in the soybean.
Both active (netting) and passive (bee bowls and blue-vane traps) sampling were used to collect the bees, …
Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis Of A Ril Soybean Population To Determine Chromosomal Regions Governing Seed Protein, Oil, And Linolenic Acid Content, Ronald E. Moore
Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis Of A Ril Soybean Population To Determine Chromosomal Regions Governing Seed Protein, Oil, And Linolenic Acid Content, Ronald E. Moore
Masters Theses
180 RILs (recombinant inbred lines) segregating for protein, oil, and fatty acids were produced from a cross between TN12-4098 and TN13-4303. These lines were grown across three locations spread horizontally across Tennessee: Research Education Center at Milan (RECM), Highland Rim Research and Education Center (HRREC), and East Tennessee Research and Education Center (ETREC) in 2018 and 2019. 21 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) spanning 7 chromosomes were found using WinQTLCart2.5.
Influence Of Traditional And Dual-Use Cropping On Arthropods And Slugs In Soybean In Tennessee, Matthew L. Longmire
Influence Of Traditional And Dual-Use Cropping On Arthropods And Slugs In Soybean In Tennessee, Matthew L. Longmire
Masters Theses
Soybean is the number one agricultural crop in Tennessee for both number of hectares planted and economic value. Soybean, used in various products, is marketed globally. In recent years, Tennessee soybean growers have shown an increased interest in the use of cover crops with soybean. A cover crop is planted before the cash crop and can minimize some weeds, diseases, insects, and other pests. Traditionally, cover crops are terminated in the spring before cash crop planting. Traditional methods of cover cropping provide many benefits but can also produce some undesired results. Dual-use cover cropping is a newer method of cover …
Mapping And Identification Of Qtl Associated With Soybean Seed Protein, Oil, And Yield In 5601t × U99-310255 Ril Population Using Snp Genotyping, Mia Justina Cunicelli

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is the world’s leading source of vegetable oil and high quality protein meal. However, soybean protein and oil and protein and yield are negatively genetically correlated. Agronomic and seed quality traits of soybean lines are important because they lead to increased soybean value. Molecular markers have played and will continue to play a major role in the genetic characterization and improvement of soybeans. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) are regions within a genome that contain genes that influence particular quantitative traits. Identification of QTLs through phenotypic evaluation only is not possible; therefore, to locate, identify, and …
