Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis Of A Ril Soybean Population To Determine Chromosomal Regions Governing Seed Protein, Oil, And Linolenic Acid Content, Ronald E. Moore Aug 2020

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.


Investigation Of The Individual Soybean Root Nodule Microbiome, Parris Mica Mayhood May 2020

Investigation Of The Individual Soybean Root Nodule Microbiome, Parris Mica Mayhood

MSU Graduate Theses

Soybean is a valuable crop that establishes a symbiotic association with nitrogen-fixing microorganisms. Previous research suggests members of the genus Bradyrhizobium are the major nitrogen-fixing inhabitants of soybean root nodules. However, results from recent studies identified the presence of other bacteria, so called non-rhizobial endophytes (NREs), inside root nodules. All previous research has pooled nodules of different plants for bacterial community analysis, but this study investigated the presence and relative abundance of rhizobia and NREs within multiple root nodules of a single plant. Three sites were selected on Kendrick Farm in Springfield, MO, where three plants and rhizosphere soil were …
