Fall 2020
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an amphidiploid or allotetraploid (AACC, 2n = 4x = 38) crop plant and it is one of the most important oilseed crops in the world. The narrow genetic base of this crop, especially in its C genome, is not only a major impediment for its continued improvement but also...

Progress towards the sustainable risk management of clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) of canola on the Canadian prairies
Download2011-01-01
Strelkov, Stephen E., Hwang, Sheau-Fang, Howard, Ronald J., Hartman, Murray, Turkington, T. Kelly
Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, has recently emerged as an important disease of canola (Brassica napus) in central Alberta. Disease development is characterized by the formation of large galls on the roots of affected plants, which hinder water and...

Quantification of bacteriocin gene expression in Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313
DownloadFall 2014
Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313, which produces bacteriocins carnocyclin A, piscicolin 126 and carnobacteriocin BM1, has been approved for use on meat products to control the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. This combination of bacteriocins is very effective as a biopreservative. It...

Quantifying the nitrogen benefits of cool season pulse crops to an Alberta prairie cropping system
DownloadFall 2011
Diverse crop rotations are an important part of sustainable agricultural systems. More information is needed in Alberta on the effects of adding pulse crops to current rotations. This experiment investigated the effects of ‘Snowbird’ tannin-free faba bean (Vicia faba L.), ‘Arabella’ narrow-leafed...

Fall 2012
Hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel (HDRD) is a promising alternative fuel due to its excellent low-temperature properties, cetane number, and similarity to fossil diesel. Using Alberta as a basis, data-intensive techno-economic models and life cycle assessment models were developed to...

Spring 2018
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which are known to regulate plant responses to abiotic stresses, such as Cold Stress (CS) and during normal growth and development. In Brassica napus (canola), miRNAs regulate various developmental processes and responses to metal stress however;...

Sensitivity of Leptosphaeria maculans isolates to pyraclostrobin and assessment of fungicide efficacy in the management of blackleg of canola
DownloadFall 2016
Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) disease is endemic to canola (Brassica napus) worldwide. With shortened canola rotations and increasing levels of blackleg in Alberta, Canada, growers may look to fungicides as an attractive disease management tool. However, the improper or intensive use of...

Spheroidal gall formation and seedborne infestation by Plasmodiophora brassicae as overlooked aspects of clubroot biology and epidemiology
DownloadFall 2011
Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot, can infect many species of the Brassicaceae. Infection results in the formation of galls on the roots of susceptible plants. Most galls are spindle-shaped, but spheroid galls can also develop and are regarded as resistance structures....

The effects of soil and plant nutrients on the oviposition preference, larval performance and spatial dynamics of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus and its parasitoids
DownloadFall 2010
The effects of nitrogen and sulfur fertilization on the oviposition, feeding preferences, and larval performance of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Brassica napus L. were examined in a series of laboratory experiments. The associations between C. obstrictus...
