Pollination biology and transcriptomics of Cleomaceae species exhibiting different pollination systems
DownloadFall 2018
Pollinator mediated-selection is responsible for much of the phenotypic diversity exhibited by flowers. Flowering plants or angiosperms that attract a diverse range of pollinators represent a generalist pollination system in which selection is exerted by many different pollinators. However,...

Self-cycling fermentation (SCF) is an advanced, automated, semi-continuous fermentation strategy that is used to improve the volumetric productivity of bioproduction. Typically, a microbial culture is grown in a reactor and half the reactor contents are harvested once a limiting nutrient is...

Early mammalian development cannot progress without targeted temporal and spatial expression of genes. Changing the accessibility of DNA to transcriptional machinery is one critical way gene expression is controlled. This process, known as chromatin remodeling, is vital for formation of the...

Transcriptome analysis of the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat
DownloadFall 2023
Tan spot, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a foliar disease of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat (Triticum aestivum and T. turgidum, respectively) that can cause significant yield and quality losses. Disease development involves the differential production of...

Transcriptomic analysis of zebrafish prion protein mutants supports conserved cross-species function of the cellular prion protein; and zebrafish as a model for cisplatin induced ototoxicity and transition metals as potential ligands for Tlr4ba and Tlr4bb
DownloadFall 2021
The work presented in this thesis is split between two projects. The first utilises prp1 and prp2 knockout zebrafish to investigate physiological functions of the cellular prion protein (PrPC). The second builds upon the use of zebrafish as a model for hearing loss to confirm a role of toll-like...

Transcriptomic responses in spring canola carrying clubroot resistance introgressed from rutabaga or “Mendel”
DownloadFall 2020
Canola provides ~15% of the total global vegetable oil supply and is an important crop contributing about $26.7 billion to Canada’s economy. Canola production has been threatened by clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, which in extreme case can result complete crop...
