DownloadFall 2020
Clubroot, a soil-borne disease caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is a threat to canola (Brassica napus L.) production in western Canada. Genetic resistance represents the most effective tool to manage this disease. To improve understanding of the mechanisms of...

Mapping QTL associated with partial resistance to Aphanomyces and Fusarium root rot in field pea and evaluation of Aphanomyces euteiches resistance by bulked segregant RNA-seq
DownloadFall 2022
Root rot, caused by Aphanomyces euteiches and Fusarium spp., is an important disease of field pea (Pisum sativum) that can be managed with polygenic resistance. An F8 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the cross ‘Reward’ × ‘00-2067’ was evaluated for reaction to A. euteiches...

Understanding host-microbiome interactions and influence on STEC colonization in cattle using integrated omics
DownloadFall 2023
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is the major foodborne pathogen in humans with Shiga toxin 1 (stx1) and 2 (stx2) being the main virulence factors. Cattle are the major reservoir of STEC with those shedding >104 CFU/g STEC being defined as super shedders (SS). The rectal anal...
