Structure-function relationships of bacterial and enzymatically produced reuterans and dextran in sourdough bread baking application
Download2015-12-19
Chen, Xiao Yan, Levy, Clemens, Gänzle, Michael G.
Exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria may improve texture and shelf life of bread. The effect of exopolysaccharides on bread quality, however, depends on properties of the EPS and the EPS producing strain. This study investigated structure-function relationships of EPS in baking...

Substrate preferences of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase and diacylglycerol acyltransferase contribute to enrichment of flax seed oil with a-linolenic acid
Download2018-04-01
Xu, Yang, Holic, Roman, Li, Darren, Pan, Xue, Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Chen, Guanqun, Ozga, Jocelyn, Weselake, Randall J.
Seed oil from flax (Linum usitatissimum) is enriched in a-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3?9cis,12cis,15cis), but the biochemical processes underlying the enrichment of flax seed oil with this polyunsaturated fatty acid are not fully elucidated. Here, a potential process involving the catalytic actions...

Suitability of felt traps to monitor oviposition by the cabbage maggot (Diptera: AnthomyiidaeC)
Download2002-01-01
Dixon, Peggy L., West, Robert J., McRae, Ken B., Spaner, Dean
The effectiveness of felt egg traps to detect oviposition by the cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.), was studied under field conditions for cabbage, Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L. (Brassicaceae), and rutabaga, Brassica napus L. var. napobrassica (L.) Reichenb. (Brassicaceae), in 1994 and...

Systematic microRNAome profiling reveals the roles of microRNAs in milk protein metabolism and quality: Insights on low-quality forage utilization
Download2016
Wang, Diming, Sun, Huizeng, Liu, Jianxin, Guan, Le Luo, Wang, Bing, Liang, Guanxiang
In this study, we investigated the molecular regulatory mechanisms of milk protein production in dairy cows by studying the miRNAomes of five key metabolic tissues involved in protein synthesis and metabolism from dairy cows fed high- and low-quality diets. In total, 340, 338, 337, 330, and 328...

Systematic review of safety and tolerability of a complex micronutrient formula used in mental health
Download2011
Simpson, J. Steven A., Crawford, Susan G., Kaplan, Bonnie J., Field, Catherine J., Burgess, Ellen, Goldstein, Estelle T.
Background Theoretically, consumption of complex, multinutrient formulations of vitamins and minerals should be safe, as most preparations contain primarily the nutrients that have been in the human diet for millennia, and at safe levels as defined by the Dietary Reference Intakes. However, the...

TALE #3 How to landscape a Campus 101, and how it was done at the University of Alberta: A real-time lesson from Hugh Knowles, Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, transforming Parkland bush to campus serenity using his iconic tree collection
Download2023-08-02
The North Campus land of the University of Alberta was established on 258 acres of land known as River Lot # 5, purchased in 1907 as the site for the University to be developed in south Edmonton. At that time it was 90% uncleared bush with scrubby willow, a few small cropped fields with winding...

TALE of ALES #5: Crop homesteading in Alberta, and the vital role of the Faculty of Agriculture (1915 – 2023), helping the public decide which agricultural, horticultural and amenity plants they should grow – then and now
Download2023-08-02
Part 1 of Tale #5 is an overview of some broad geopolitical and historical events affecting land allocation to immigrants in the early days of settlement in Alberta. It also describes some conditions and challenges that faced immigrants who wished to develop crop-based homesteads in these ‘new...
