Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Transcriptional Control of Auxin-Transport-Dependent Vein Patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadSpring 2020
Most multicellular organisms solve the problem of long-distance transport of signals and nutrients by means of tissue networks such as the vascular system of vertebrate embryos and the vein network of plant leaves; therefore, how vascular networks form is a key question in biology. In...

Transcriptional Regulation of Gene Expression at Early Stages of Arabidopsis Vein Development
DownloadFall 2016
How multicellular organisms activate gene expression in the correct cells at the correct time is a central question in biology. In animals, in which this question has been investigated extensively, broadly expressed transcription factors activate target gene expression in narrow domains by a...
