McGarry, Roisin, Ozga, Jocelyn A., Reinecke, Dennis M.
Fruit growth in saskatoons (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.), an emerging horticultural crop across the Canadian prairies, results from development of the mesocarp and the endocarp-locular-ovular structure which includes the developing seeds. Contribution of these tissues to fruit size was assessed...

Increased rate of fatty acid uptake and plasmalemmal fatty acid transporters in obese Zucker rats
Download2001
Arumugam, Yoga, Luiken, Joost J. F. P., Dyck, David J., Bonen, Arend, Tandon, Narendra N., Pelsers, Maurice M. L., Bell, Rhonda C., Turcotte, Lorraine P., Glatz, Jan F. C.
Giant vesicles were used to study the rates of uptake of long-chain fatty acids by heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue of obese and lean Zucker rats. With obesity there was an increase in vesicular fatty acid uptake of 1.8-fold in heart, muscle and adipose tissue. In some tissues only...

A simple procedure to secure an indwelling jugular vein catheter to the neck of cattle for repeated blood sampling
Download2001
MacLean, Melissa A., Zalkovic, Pavol, Ambrose, Divakar J.
Abstract A procedure to secure a jugular vein catheter system to the neck of cattle is described. A wide-mouthed polypropylene bottle attached to a halter strap provided a secure container for the catheter. This device allowed convenient access to the catheter for repeated sampling and,...

Antioxidant responses in harvested leaves of two cultivars of spinach differing in senescence rates
Download2001-01-01
Hodges, D. Mark, Forney, Charles F., Wismer, Wendy V.
The objective of this study was to assess responses of certain antioxidants in harvested leaves of selected cultivars of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) differing in postharvest senescence rates in order to explore the significance of these antioxidants in postharvest senescence regulation and...

Bacterial response to siderophore and quorum-sensing chemical signals in the seawater microbial community
Download2001
Background Oceans are iron-deficient and nutrient-poor environments. These conditions impart limitations on our understanding of and our ability to identify microorganisms from the marine environment. However, less of knowledge on the influence of siderophores and N-acyl homoserinelactone as...

Use of digital images for evaluation of factors responsible for visual preference of apples by consumers
Download2002-01-01
Cliff, Margaret, Sanford, Katherine, Wismer, Wendy, Hampson, Cheryl
This research used digital images to explore some of the factors responsible for consumer preference of visual characteristics of apples (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The images systematically varied in color and shape (Expt. A: 9 images) and type, shape, and background color (Expt. B: 10 images),...

Suitability of felt traps to monitor oviposition by the cabbage maggot (Diptera: AnthomyiidaeC)
Download2002-01-01
Dixon, Peggy L., West, Robert J., McRae, Ken B., Spaner, Dean
The effectiveness of felt egg traps to detect oviposition by the cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.), was studied under field conditions for cabbage, Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L. (Brassicaceae), and rutabaga, Brassica napus L. var. napobrassica (L.) Reichenb. (Brassicaceae), in 1994 and...

Bork, Edward W., Willms, Walter D., Adams, Barry W.
A three year monitoring program evaluated the effects of a December 1997 wildfire in southwest Alberta, on Foothills Rough Fescue grassland species composition, ground cover, herbage production, and forage quality. Changes in species abundance included a reduction in grass cover (p<0.10) after...

Inhibition of Kv2.1 voltage-dependent K+ channels in pancreatic ß-cells enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion
Download2002
Chan, Catherine B., Wang, Jianli, Sakellaropoulos, George, Tsushima, Robert G., Joseph, Jamie W., Smukler, Simon R., Sewing, Sabine, Saleh, Monique C., Wang, Jing, Salapatek, Anne Marie F., Wheeler, Michael B., MacDonald, Patrick E.
Voltage-dependent (Kv) outward K+ currents repolarize β-cell action potentials during a glucose stimulus to limit Ca2+ entry and insulin secretion. Dominant-negative “knockout” of Kv2 family channels enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Here we show that a putative Kv2.1 antagonist...
