Fall 2011
Flax is an oilseed praised for high omega-3 oil, fiber and lignan content. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) can be used as a green solvent alternative to process flax bioactives. SCCO2 extraction was used to remove lignan Secoisolariciresinol Diglucoside (SDG) from full fat and defatted whole...

The impact of defoliation on the root foraging behaviour of sunflower (Heliathus annuus L.)
DownloadSpring 2024
Plants have a remarkable ability to proliferate roots and increase nutrient uptake within nutrient patches in the soil. This behaviour, known as root foraging, describes this ability and what factors may influence or modify this response. It has been observed that plants integrate multiple...

Thrombotic microangiopathies are group of diseases that refer to clinical and pathological syndromes where endothelial injury results in the manifestations of capillary thrombosis, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, schistocytosis, and can lead to renal failure. In this thesis we aimed to study...

Uncovering the Molecular Mechanisms behind Triacylglycerol Biosynthesis in Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)
DownloadFall 2015
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) seed oil contains approximately 45%-65% of α-linolenic acid (ALA) and 15-29 % of linoleic acid (LA), and is one of the richest natural sources of these polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Due to its high amounts of PUFAs, especially ALA, flax oil has a number of...

Understanding the role of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on postpartum reproductive function and embryo development in dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2016
The objectives of this work were to investigate the influence of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on feed intake, calf birth weight, maternal and neonatal fatty acid profiles, milk production, postpartum reproductive function, early embryonic development and its transcriptome profile in...

β-Galactosidases and Fasciclin-like Arabinogalactan Proteins in Flax (Linum usitatissimum) Phloem Fibre Development
DownloadFall 2013
The phloem fibres of flax (Linum usitatissimum) have specialized, cellulose-rich secondary walls of the gelatinous type (G-type), which give the fibres remarkable strength. G-type walls are also found in tension wood of many trees. β-galactosidases (BGAL) and fasciclin-like arabinogalactan (FLA)...
