Effects of environmental and disturbance gradients on native bee diversity, abundance and composition in Alberta’s prairies
DownloadFall 2017
Native bees provide pollination services to a range of crops, supporting food production and the global economy. They also support the fitness of native flowering plants and terrestrial plant diversity. These functions are delivered by a diverse community of bees with a broad spectrum of life...

Engineering Enhanced Performance in Plant Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase and Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase
DownloadSpring 2018
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage lipid in higher plants and has great nutritional and industrial value. Plant storage lipid biosynthesis involves different subcellular compartments and a complex network of enzymes and proteins. Among them, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound diacylglycerol...

Evaluation of Genetic Diversity and Performance of the Inbred Lines Derived from B. Napus x B. Rapa Interspecific Crosses and Their Test Hybrids
DownloadSpring 2018
ABSTRACTSpring Brassica napus L. canola (AACC, 2n = 38) is the second most important crop in Canada. Genetic diversity in this crop is narrow; therefore, broadening of the genetic base of this crop is needed for continued improvement through breeding. For this, the exotic gene pools of this...

Evaluation of oilseed Brassica napus germplasm for days to flowering under a short-day condition and QTL mapping of the trait
DownloadSpring 2021
Canola (Brassica napus, AACC = 2n = 38) is an important oilseed crop in Canada. Among the different agronomic traits, the earliness of flowering and maturity are important for growing this crop on the Canadian prairies. The earliness of flowering can be improved by using the genes/alleles capable...

Evaluation of Spring Canola (Brassica Napus) Lines Derived from Rutabaga (Brassica Napus Var. Napobrassica) X Canola Crosses for Agronomic and Seed Quality Traits and Heterosis
DownloadSpring 2018
Brassica napus L. (AACC, 2n = 38) canola is the most extensively cultivated Brassica oilseed crop in the world; it is one of the most important field crops in Canada. The narrow genetic diversity in this crop is considered one of the major hindrances for continued improvement of this crop for...

Extraction of canola proteins and assessment of their applications: cruciferin for encapsulation of bioactives and napin as a chaperone-like molecule
DownloadFall 2016
Canola is a farm-gate crop in Canada. Canola meal after oil extraction is used mostly as animal feed with limited value-added applications. Canola proteins are known to have great potential for use in food and non-food applications due to their nutritional, biological and functional properties....

Factors influencing Plasmodiophora brassicae resting spore loads in soil and clubroot disease severity in canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadSpring 2015
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is an important soilborne disease of Brassica napus canola. Studies were conducted to increase understanding of the impact of various soil parameters and crop rotation regimes on P. brassicae inoculum levels and clubroot severity, respectively. In...

Genetic and molecular analysis of clubroot resistance in canola introgressed from rutabaga cvs. Polycross and Brookfield
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae is a serious threat to canola (Brassica napus) production. The evolution of new pathotypes has rendered available resistances ineffective and has necessitated the introgression of new resistance into canola and furthering our understanding of...
