College of Agriculture
As the foundation of the land grant mission at Montana State University, the College of Agriculture and the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station provide instruction in traditional and innovative degree programs and conduct research on old and new challenges for Montana’s agricultural community. This integration creates opportunities for students and faculty to excel through hands-on learning, to serve through campus and community engagement, to explore unique solutions to distinct and interesting questions and to connect Montanans with the global community through research discoveries and outreach.

Housing booms and H‐2A agricultural guest worker employment
(Wiley, 2022-05)This paper examines the effects of changes in housing demand on H-2A employment within commuting zones from 2001-2017. Agricultural employers who demonstrate that no workers in the domestic labor market are willing or able ... -
Elp1 is required for development of visceral sensory peripheral and central circuitry
(The Company of Biologists, 2022-05)Cardiovascular instability and a blunted respiratory drive in hypoxic conditions are hallmark features of the genetic sensory and autonomic neuropathy, familial dysautonomia (FD). FD results from a mutation in the gene ... -
Efficacy of Biorational Products for Managing Diseases of Tomato in Greenhouse Production
(MDPI AG, 2022-06)Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), late blight (Phytophthora infestans), powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica), pith necrosis (Pseudomonas corrugata), and bacterial canker (Clavibacter michiganensis) are major diseases that affect ... -
Investigating Abiotic and Biotic Mechanisms of Pyrite Reduction
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-05)Pyrite (FeS2) has a very low solubility and therefore has historically been considered a sink for iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) and unavailable to biology in the absence of oxygen and oxidative weathering. Anaerobic methanogens ... -
Haskap maturity stages and their influence on postharvest berry quality
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2022-06)Limited information is available regarding haskap berry maturity and corresponding postharvest characteristics. We assessed detached berry quality, respiration rate, and ethylene production at five stages of maturity and ... -
An ADAM17-Neutralizing Antibody Reduces Inflammation and Mortality While Increasing Viral Burden in a COVID-19 Mouse Model
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-06)Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the primary cell entry receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is a protease that cleaves ectodomains of transmembrane proteins, ... -
Pyridazinones and Structurally Related Derivatives with Anti-Inflammatory Activity
(MDPI AG, 2022-06)Persistent inflammation contributes to a number of diseases; therefore, control of the inflammatory response is an important therapeutic goal. In an effort to identify novel anti-inflammatory compounds, we screened a library ... -
Larval mosquito management and risk to aquatic ecosystems: A comparative approach including current tactics and gene-drive Anopheles techniques
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-08)Genetic engineering of mosquitoes represents a promising tactic for reducing human suffering from malaria. Gene-drive techniques being developed that suppress or modify populations of Anopheles gambiae have the potential ... -
Transfer and persistence of bovine immunoglobulins in lambs fed a colostrum replacer
(Wiley, 2022-07)Background. Colostrum-derived antibodies are crucial for the protection of newborn lambs from infectious diseases. Several colostrum replacer products that contain bovine antibodies are on the market. We investigated the ... -
The Association Between Morningness-Eveningness Preference, Depression, Anxiety and Insomnia Among Chinese Textile Workers With or Without Shift Work
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-06)Objective. Circadian preference and mental health disorders are closely related to insomnia. This study aimed to evaluate insomnia symptoms in textile factory workers with different work schedules, and to investigate the ... -
Does Elevated [CO2] Only Increase Root Growth in the Topsoil? A FACE Study with Lentil in a Semi-Arid Environment
(MDPI, 2021-03)Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations [CO2] are increasing steadily. Some reports have shown that root growth in grain crops is mostly stimulated in the topsoil rather than evenly throughout the soil profile by e[CO2], ... -
Genotypic variability in root length in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) cultivars in a semi-arid environment based on mini-rhizotron image capture
(Wiley, 2022-01)Physiological breeding is an approach that complements conventional breeding by providing characterizations of traits present in breeding populations. This allows breeders the ability to choose crosses based on desirable ... -
Introducing cover crops as fallow replacement in the Northern Great Plains: II. Impact on following wheat crops
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-12)Crop-livestock integration has demonstrated that cover crops can be terminated using livestock grazing with minimal negative impacts on soil health, however, provides little information on system-level approaches that ... -
Influence of residual feed intake and cow age on dry matter intake postweaning and peak lactation
(Oxford University Press, 2021-11)Supplemental nutrition for cattle is the greatest operating cost for cow-calf producers, accounting for 65% of the annual expenses (Meyer et al., 2008). Therefore, selection pressure for efficient animals that have lower ... -
Durum wheat yield and protein influenced by nitrogen management and cropping rotation
(Informa UK Limited, 2022-04)Nitrogen (N) is the major input for cereal grain production. N management in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) is critical for optimizing grain yield, protein concentration, and utilization efficiency of nitrogen ... -
Evaluating the Cumulative Effects of Livestock Grazing on Wildlife With an Integrated Population Model
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-05)Livestock grazing can shape temperate grassland ecosystems, with both positive and negative effects on wildlife documented depending on a variety of grazing and site factors. Historically, research investigating the impacts ... -
Rapid sequence and functional diversification of a miRNA superfamily targeting calcium signaling components in seed plants
(Wiley, 2022-05)MicroRNA (miRNA)-directed posttranscriptional gene silencing (miR-PTGS) is an integral component of gene regulatory networks governing plant development and responses to the environment. The sequence homology between ... -
Diversity of bacterial small RNAs drives competitive strategies for a mutual chaperone
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-05)Hundreds of bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) require the Hfq chaperone to regulate mRNA expression. Hfq is limiting, thus competition among sRNAs for binding to Hfq shapes the proteomes of individual cells. To understand how ... -
Effects of violent media content: Evidence from the rise of the UFC
