A similar number of seeds was harvested from each of the M1(first mutant generation) plants in a population to obtain 2,000 M2seeds for each population. A random sample of 1,000 of the second generation M2seeds from the population was planted in February at the Iowa State University-Univers...
The goal of this study was to promptly map the extent of corn and soybeans early in the growing season. A classification experiment was conducted for the US Corn Belt and neighboring states, which is the most important production area of corn and soybean
High levels of PUFAs are found in chloroplasts of green plants (i.e., grasses), which may explain the higher concentrations of ALA [56]. Levels of n-3 PUFAs drastically decreased in conserved forages (HAY and BLG). While they still contained more PUFAs than SH, conserved forages ...
plants. Most nematodes on negative control roots appeared to be at the J3 or J4 stage 10 days post infestation, while most nematodes on the plants expressing Cry14Ab appeared to be at the J2 or J3 stage. This suggests that in addition to inhibiting the establishment of infection, Cry14Ab ...
plant. Each seed sample is planted and the next generation is formed. When the F2 lines are advanced to approximately F6 or so, each plant will be derived from a different F2. The population will decline due to failure of some seeds, so not all F2 plants will be represented in the ...
Plants of susceptible and tolerant soybean cultivars were grown under non-stressed conditions and during the late seed maturation phase some plants were transferred to a condition of combined heat and drought stress. Seeds of both cultivars (matured under stressed and non-stressed conditions) were har...

One theory about soybean thrips is that these thrips migrate each year from south to north on storm fronts in the summer [21], however, recent studies on alternative host plants of soybean in greenhouse conditions documented that in the mid-west U.S., the soybean thrips might not migrate at...
interactions suggest that eachRgene triggers a subset of the defense arsenal. The combination of multipleRgenes results in complementary, or antagonistic, outcomes that can produce plants with a more robust or compromised defense response depending on the nature of this interaction [15]. While ...
All settings were based on previous data provided by [8,9], which reflected commonly used technologies at US corn-based ethanol plants. The effect that each of these scenarios had on total capital costs are presented in Figure 2. The simulation data indicated that the cost of starch to ...
