High And Low Yielding Soybean Lines From An Irrigated Selection Environment: Performance Evaluation In Irrigated And Droughted Environments, Jorge E. Perez Arocho

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Drought is the most significant abiotic stress affecting agricultural production. Improving seed yield under water stress is an important breeding objective. Soybean cultivars that tolerate water stress could help improve and stabilize production in water-stressed environments. “Drought” needs to be defined, because water stress can vary in intensity, timing, and duration. Other factors including ambient temperature, soil texture, depth, and fertility will influence the impact of limited water on crop productivity. This research addresses the impact of water stress on soybeans adapted to the north-central US, where the majority of soils are relatively deep, fertile silt loams or silty clay …

Detecting, Cloning, And Screening For Suppressors Of Rna Silencing In Maize Chlorotic Mottle Virus And Sugarcane Mosaic Virus, Nicole E. Bacheller

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Maize lethal necrosis disease (MLND) is one of the most important viral diseases of maize. MLND occurs when Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) co-infects the same plant with one of several potyviruses, including Sugarcane mosaic virus, Wheat streak mosaic virus or Maize dwarf mosaic virus. Originally prevalent in the Midwest and Peru in the 1970s, the disease was called corn lethal necrosis (CLN) and was controlled through breeding and sanitation. Recently, the disease has re-emerged in East Africa and is rapidly spreading and threatening the food sources of subsistence-farming populations. This re-emergence has raised several questions about the unknown …

Genomic Regions Involved In Seed Protein, Oil, And Carbohydrate Concentration In Soybean, Samantha J. Mcconaughy

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] are processed for their high-quality vegetable oil and protein meal for feed, food, and industrial applications but, because of the high negative correlations between seed protein and oil concentration, it has been difficult to develop soybean lines with concomitant increases in both protein and oil. Previous studies considered only seed protein or oil concentration. This study is unique in that populations were developed using parental lines that differed in their protein, oil, and total carbohydrate concentrations in the mature seed. Two soybean populations were developed using soybean accession PI 547827 with lower total sugars as …

Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science Faculty Publications

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is undergoing development as a biomass crop to support conversion of cellulosic biomass to energy. To avoid the competition of biomass with food or feed crops, most commercialization proposals suggest that switchgrass should be grown exclusively on marginal lands that are not fit for food or feed production. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential for cultivar x environment interactions that would affect the methods and approaches for breeding and evaluating switchgrass cultivars, including both upland and lowland types, for high-input versus low-input types of environments. Biomass yield was measured on 14 cultivars …

Assessing Anther Extrusion And Its Effect On Us Hard Winter Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Hybrid Seed Production, Nicholas Garst

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The promise of higher grain yields as a result of the development and production of hybrid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has not been fully realized primarily due to the high cost of seed production. Anther extrusion is a key trait that improves pollen availability, and thus, is expected to enhance hybrid wheat seed production yields. Hard winter wheat germplasm adapted to the US Great Plains was visually assessed for anther extrusion in the field and greenhouse environments. Significant genotypic differences were detected and high broad-sense heritability was calculated (ranging from 0.62 to 0.85) for anther extrusion in the field. …
