Spring 2012
Climate change is expected to drive major changes in agricultural production around the world, but estimates of the economic impact of these changes for Canadian agricultural production have been inconsistent. Most models use aggregate temperature data such as average temperature or growing...

Analysis of genotype-environment interactions from a genome-wide survey of quantitative trait loci in a barley population
Download2010-01-01
Ham, Bangjoo, Spaner, Dean, Rahman, M. H., Yeh, F. C., Yang, Rong-Cai
The presence of genotype-environment interactions (GE) leads to the imperfect genetic correlation between the measurements of the same trait in different environments, thereby limiting the ability of plant breeders to identify superior breeding lines or best cultivars across the environments. We...

Evolutionary quantitative genetics and genomics applied to the study of sexually dimorphic traits in wild bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis)
DownloadSpring 2011
The independent evolution of the sexes may often be constrained if male and female homologous traits share a similar genetic architecture. Thus, cross-sex genetic covariance is assumed to play a key role in the evolution of sexual dimorphism (SD) with consequent impacts on sexual selection,...

Genetic mapping and physiological characterization of water-use efficiency in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) on the Canadian Prairies
DownloadFall 2011
Temporal or seasonal water deficit is one of the major factors limiting crop yield on the Canadian Prairies. Empirical knowledge suggests that carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C), through its negative relationship with water-use efficiency (WUE), is a good index for selecting crop varieties...

Making a Place at the Table: Examining the Impact and Influence of Women in Agricultural Leadership in the Canadian Prairies
DownloadFall 2019
Since the first days of cultivation of the land, women have played an essential role in the development of agriculture of the Canadian prairies. Over the past 150 years, as prairie agriculture has undergone a range of socio-cultural, economic and technical changes, so too have the roles,...

This paper discusses a project undertaken at the University of Alberta Libraries to create metadata for a notable sheet music collection: the Walder G. W. White Sheet Music Collection, which is currently in the process of being described, digitised, and promoted. The history of the collection is...

Perceptions of Science and Expertise Among Alternative Ranchers in Alberta, Canada: A Qualitative and Actor-Network Analysis
DownloadFall 2021
Dlusskaya, Kira Konstantinovna
Raising animals has been an important aspect of human food systems for millennia, but with growing climate concerns, the management of animal agriculture, including beef production, needs to adhere to environmental best practices. Determining what these practices are has been the subject of much...

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and doubled haploid technology for spring wheat improvement
DownloadSpring 2014
Efficiency is important in wheat breeding programs. A series of studies were conducted to determine genetic differentials, map genomic regions affecting various agronomic and quality traits in conventional and organic management systems and to improve doubled haploid (DH) technology in spring...

Quantitative trait loci and genomewide association mapping in western Canadian spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
DownloadSpring 2016
Early maturity, grain yield and grain protein content are some of the important traits in western Canadian wheat breeding programs. A series of experiments were conducted to explore the genetic basis of days to heading, and maturity, plant height, grain protein, grain yield and related traits. In...
