Non-Coding Rna Influence On Manganese Peroxidase Quantity Variation In Isogenic Corn Lines., Amber Booth

Student Theses and Dissertations

New technologies are vital for growing industries that require large amounts of enzymes at a cheaper production cost. Plant transformation technologies coupled with established cropping systems have allowed us to produce enzymes at more efficient rates than ever before. During breeding, offspring are selected for high production of the enzyme of interest and discontinues lines of low production. This continued range is an observed phenomenon in increasingly isogenic lines, but not fully understood. We hypothesize that distinct populations of non-coding RNAs in isogenic corn lines influence enzyme accumulation in seed. This project sequenced high and low manganese peroxidase (MnP)-expressing families …

Investigation Of The State Of Dna Methylation In High And Low Protein Accumulating Maize Lines, Akash Lal

Student Theses and Dissertations

Transgenic plant-based production for industrial enzymes is an evolutionary tool. Green bio- factories have powerful potential to produce desirable product on the most economical and efficient level. Seed itself provides protein a very stable environment, solving the problem of storage. Transgenic plants easily scale up production. Increasing population, climate change and low amounts of arable land create a damaging situation for which a plant-based production system is beneficial. The transgenic plant-based production system rather than microbial fermentation is a solution for this rising scenario. Epigenetics is a natural phenomenon which causes heritable changes in gene expression alternative to the involvement …

Induction And Characterization Of Microspore Embryogenesis In Soybean (Glycine Max [L.] Merrill), Bretton M. Hale

Student Theses and Dissertations

Gametophytic embryogenesis is a method used to achieve homozygosity in plant breeding programs. However, its application is limited within the Fabaceae, which has historically demonstrated morphogenic recalcitrance in comparison to other plant families (i.e., Brassicaceae and Poaceae). Here, the immature male gametophyte — or microspore — was used to investigate gametophytic embryogenesis in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill). In so doing, an induction regimen was optimized to support embryogenic growth through pretreatment temperature shock, a nitrogen starvation medium, and other post-isolation culture conditions. In addition, parallels were drawn between soybean microspore cytology and that which has been reported in model …

Impact Of Winter Cover Crops And Nitrogen Recommendations For Corn-Soybean Rotation In Northeast Arkansas, Brayden William Burns

Student Theses and Dissertations

Research plots were established on production farms in no-tillage, corn-soybean rotations following a winter cover crop. Independent variables included fertilizer N-application (0, 62, 124, 185, 247 and 309 kg N ha-1) and the presence or absence of a winter cover crop. Yield optimum nitrogen rates (YONR) estimated using linear plateau models ranged from 69.7 to 214.1 kg N ha-1, well below the University of Arkansas’ recommendation of 247 kg N ha-1. Relative to these YONRs, dynamic N-recommendation systems like N-Star, and pre-sidedress available nitrogen (PSAN) reduced recommended N-application rate with little risk of insufficient N-supply. Other recommendations like the Soil …

Impact Of Rice Straw Mulch On Soil Physical Properties, Sunflower Root Distribution And Yield In A Salt-Affected Clay-Textured Soil, Priya Lal Chandra Paul, Richard W. Bell, Edward Barrett-Lennard, Enamul Kabir

Grain and Other Field Crops Research Articles

Puddling of clay soils for rice transplanting causes a loss of soil structure and vertical shrinkage cracks that are hypothesized to hamper sunflower root growth in the following dry season. To alleviate soil constraints for sunflower root growth and yield, we examined the effects of three levels of mulch and two irrigation regimes in the dry season on a clay-textured soil in the coastal zone of Bangladesh. These treatments were no-mulch, rice straw mulch at 5 t ha−1 and 10 t ha−1, irrigation applied to the field capacity (I1) and a water supply double that of the I1 treatment (I2). …

Mental Model-Based Repeated Multifaceted (Mrm) Intervention Design: A Conceptual Framework For Improving Preventive Health Behaviors And Outcomes, Mazbahul G. Ahamad, Fahian Tanin

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Objective: Field interventions employed to improve preventive health behaviors and outcomes generally use well established approaches; however, recent studies have reported that health education and promotional interventions have little to no impact on health behaviors, especially in low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to develop a conceptual framework to improve intervention designs that would internalize these concerns and limitations.

Results: We identified three major experimental design- and implementation-related concerns associated with mental models, including the balance between the treatment and control groups, the treatment group’s willingness to adopt suggested behaviors, and the type, length, frequency, intensity, and sequence of treatments. …

Grass Bud Responses To Fire In A Semiarid Savanna System, Quinn A. Hiers, Morgan L. Treadwell, Matthew B. Dickinson, Kathleen L. Kavanagh, Alexandra G. Lodge, Heath D. Starns, Doug R. Tolleson, Dirac Twidwell, Carissa L. Wonkka, William E. Rogers

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Increasingly, land managers have attempted to use extreme prescribed fire as a method to address woody plant encroachment in savanna ecosystems. The effect that these fires have on herbaceous vegetation is poorly understood. We experimentally examined immediate (<24 hr) bud response of two dominant graminoids, a C₃ caespitose grass, Nassella leucotricha, and a C₄ stoloniferous grass, Hilaria belangeri, following fires of varying energy (J/m² ) in a semiarid savanna in the Edwards Plateau ecoregion of Texas. Treatments included high- and low-energy fires determined by contrasting fuel loading and a no burn (control) treatment. Belowground axillary buds were counted and their activities classified to determine immediate effects …
