Design and analysis of population demographic experiments for use in environmental risk assessments for genetically modified crops
DownloadFall 2016
Genetically modified crops with putative fitness-enhancing traits are being field-tested throughout Canada and the world, but robust methods with which to compare their fitness with conventional cultivars are lacking. Additionally, field analyses of GM crops in non-agricultural areas are...

Differential aluminum tolerance of high-yielding, early maturing Canadian wheat cultivars and germplasm
Download1989
Taylor, G.J., Briggs, K.G., Hoddinott, J., Sturgess, I.
Twenty-eight spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars were tested for tolerance to aluminum (Al) using solution culture techniques. Fourteen of these cultivars were also grown in the fietd under two different management levels, Conventional and Intensive Crop Management (ICM), to determine...

Differential exudation of polypeptides by roots of aluminum-resistant and aluminum-sensitive cultivars of Triticum aestivum L. in response to aluminum stress
Download1994
Basu, A., Taylor, G. J., Basu, U.
Cultivars of Triticum aestivum differing in resistance to Al were grown under aseptic conditions in the presence and absence of Al and polypeptides present in root exudates were collected, concentrated, and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon exposure to...

Reid, R. J., Rengel, Z., McDonald-Stephens, J. L., Hunter, D. B., Elmore, D., Taylor, G. J., Bertsch, P. M.
Quantitative information on the uptake and distribution of Al at the cellular level is required to understand mechanisms of Al toxicity, but direct measurement of uptake across the plasma membrane has remained elusive. We measured rates of Al transport across membranes in single cells of Chara...

Spring 2014
This thesis evaluates economic impact of adoption of crops developed by means of modern genomic tools. The economic impact of these improved crops is looked at from two different angles: the welfare implications from trading improved crops on the world market, and the benefits of adopting...

Spring 2018
The effect of plant proteins, specifically those from yellow field pea seeds on the in vitro digestibility of wheat starch was studied. Initially, the starch digestibility profile of pressure cooked pea seeds (dehulled and split), pea flour and isolated starches from pea and wheat was evaluated...

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...

Estimation of Source- and Quality-Differentiated Import Demand Under Aggregate Import Quota: An Application to Japan's Wheat
Download1998
Since a seminal work by Armington (1969), estimating source-differentiated import demand has become a useful tool in applied international trade research. Trade policy evaluation and simulation require reliable estimates of the responsiveness of import demand to international price changes....

Evaluation and Comparison of the Agronomic Traits of 100 Wheat Cultivars Grown in Western Canada
DownloadFall 2014
Breeding efforts have been crucial in solving the challenges of wheat production in western Canada. This study evaluates and compares the agronomic traits of plant height, days to heading, lodging, days to maturity, grain yield, disease resistance, test weight, thousand kernel weight, and protein...
