Air-Void Characteristics and Permeability of Fibre Reinforced Repair Mortar for Conservation
DownloadSpring 2019
Masonry is among the oldest and widespread construction materials, used to build structures traditionally, both in North America, and worldwide as well. Most of the historical buildings have been built with pre-Portland cement mortar. A large number of existing masonry buildings in Canada have...

Down-Regulation of CELLULOSE SYNTHASE Expression in Arabidopsis Seeds as a Possible Means of Increasing Seed Oil and Protein Content, and Reducing Fibre Content
DownloadSpring 2017
Jayawardhane Rathnayaka,Kethmi N
Oleaginous seeds, with higher oil and protein content, have higher economic value in the seed oil industry. Meal resulting from the seed oil extraction process is a widely used protein source in animal feed. The reduction of the complex fibre component of seed tissues may direct more carbon into...

Major intrinsic proteins of Laccaria bicolor: characterization, transcript profiling and functions in ectomycorrhizal associations with Picea glauca
DownloadSpring 2015
In mycorrhizal associations, water transport properties of the fungal hyphae may affect water transport of the host plants. The importance of aquaporins, water-transporting members of the Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) family, in facilitating water transport has been widely acknowledged and...

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)...
