Abiotic and biotic factors influencing host-plant use of a generalist herbivore through plant-mediated interactions: oviposition and larval performance by the bertha armyworm, Mamestra configurata Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on canola
DownloadFall 2018
The bertha armyworm (BAW), Mamestra configurata Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a native, polyphagous herbivore which feeds on a variety of plants in different families. In the Prairie Provinces, canola, Brassica napus L. (Brassicaceae), is a preferred host, making BAW a significant pest....

Assessing the Potential for Hybrid Vigour Within a Species: Disparate Population Breeding of Balsam Poplar
DownloadFall 2021
When two or more species are crossed to produce hybrid progeny, some of them can be expected to yield a growth performance far superior to that of either parent (i.e., hybrid vigour/heterosis). To date, there have been few attempts to examine whether hybrid vigour can be achieved by crossing...

Broadening genetic diversity in canola (Brassica napus) germplasm using the B. oleracea var. alboglabra C-genome
DownloadFall 2012
Genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L., AACC genome, 2n=38) cultivars is narrow. Limited effort has been made to utilize genetic diversity from the diploid species B. oleracea (CC genome, 2n=18), apparently due to the difficulty of producing B. napus × B. oleracea hybrids as well...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of the C-genome of Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra and B. oleracea var. botrytis
DownloadFall 2015
Spring oilseed Brassica napus L. (AACC, 2n = 38) canola is one of the most important crop in Canada, widely grown in the Prairie Provinces Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Presence of genetic diversity in breeding material is pre-requisite for developing new cultivars with desirable traits as...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of yellow sarson and Canadian spring Brassica rapa L.
DownloadFall 2015
Canada is the top producer of Brassica oilseeds [B. napus L. (n = 19, AC genome)] in the world. Genetic diversity has declined in this crop in the recent years due to use of only superior and genetically narrow gene pool in breeding. Presence of adequate genetic diversity is important for further...

Broadening the genetic base of Brassica napus canola by interspecific crosses with different variants of B. oleracea
Download2018-08-01
Iftikhar, R., Wang, X., Rahman, Habibur
Broadening the genetic base of the C genome of Brassica napus canola by use of B. oleracea is important. In this study, the prospect of developing B. napus canola lines from B. napus × B. oleracea var. alboglabra, botrytis, italica and capitata crosses and the effect of backcrossing the F1’s to...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of rutabaga (Brassica napus) cultivars in response to Plasmodiophora brassicae
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...

Do rice hybrids have heterosis for insect resistance? A study with Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) and Marasmia patnalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Download2003
Virmani, S. S., Bernal, C. C., Cohen, M. B.
Abstract: Antibiosis-based resistance to two insect pests of rice, Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) and Marasmia patnalis Bradley (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), was compared in 11 F-1 hybrids and their parental lines. Our objective was to determine whether hybrids show heterosis...

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...
