Characterization of Auxin Receptors and Auxin-Ethylene Interaction During Pea Fruit Development
DownloadSpring 2017
Normal development of a pea (Pisum sativum L.) fruit requires the presence of seeds within the fruit. Removal of seeds from young pea fruits results in slowing of pericarp (fruit) growth and subsequent abscission. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (4-Cl-IAA) are two...

The developmental programs of maturing seed and fruit in pea (Pisum sativum L.) are tightly controlled by the interactions of several phytohormones, including gibberellins (GAs), auxins, and abscisic acid (ABA). To more fully understand these hormone networks and their roles in controlling...

The Effect of Auxins on Seed Yield Parameters in Wheat, Pea and Canola Grown Under Controlled Environment and Western Canadian Field Conditions
DownloadFall 2015
Experiments in this thesis test the hypothesis that foliar application of the auxins 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (4-Cl-IAA) and 4-methylindole-3-acetic acid (4-Me-IAA) at an early reproductive development stage of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) canola (Brassica napus L.) and field pea (Pisum...
