Lab-on-a-Chip Designs for Airborne Spore Detection: Towards the Forecasting of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting crops. More than 400 plant species around the globe are affected by this fungus. In canola, one of Canada’s most important crops, yield losses due to...

Monitoring Airborne Inoculum of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum at Canola Flowering and Relationships to Weather Conditions and Disease Incidence and Severity
DownloadFall 2022
Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is an important disease of canola (Brassica napus). Disease development is highly dependent on weather conditions and is initiated by infection of the petals by airborne ascospores, followed by mycelial progression into leaf and stem...

Shah, Saleh, Xu, Yang, Ramakrishnan, Geetha, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Chen, Guanqun, Ozga, Jocelyn, Greer, Michael S., Lemieux, M. Joanne, Wu, Limin, Weselake, Randall J.
The apparent bottleneck in the accumulation of oil during seed development in some oleaginous plant species is the formation of triacylglycerol (TAG) by the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of sn-1,2- diacylglycerol catalyzed by diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20). Improving DGAT...

The nutritional value of biodiesel co-products were studied for swine. In Exp. 1, expeller-pressed canola meal was nutritionally characterized and validated for grower-finisher pigs. Expeller-pressed canola meal provided adequate energy and AA; ADG was reduced 3 g/d per 1% expeller-pressed canola...

Physaria fendleri and Ricinus communis LCAT-like phospholipases selectively cleave hydroxy acyl chains from phosphatidylcholine

Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Singer, Stacy D., Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Greer, Michael S., Tian, Bo, Dyer, John M., Smith, Mark, Zhou, Xue-Rong, Qiu, Xiao, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun
Producing hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) in transgenic crops represents a promising strategy to meet our demands for specialized plant oils with industrial applications. The expression of Ricinus communis (castor) OLEATE 12-HYDROXYLASE (RcFAH12) in Arabidopsis has resulted in only...

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...
