Fall 2014
Quantitatively, nitrogen (N) has shown to be one of the most important nutrients for proper plant growth and development, and a key limiting factor in crop productivity. In the last 40 years, there has been a significant increase in the production of synthetic N-fertilizers, as well as an...

Monoamine oxidase enzymes are largely involved in the catabolism of biogenic amines. Two forms of the enzyme are socumented to exist, monoamine oxidase type A and B. The B form (MAO-B) of the enzyme has been noted to possess a high affinity site for some imidazoline ligands. This site (the I2...

Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...

Statistical and In-field Challenges Involved in Quantifying Crop Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) and Spatial Soil Fertility in Central Alberta
DownloadSpring 2020
Modern agriculture faces the conundrum of a looming threat of food scarcity and heightened pressure on natural resources to address and sustain increasing food demand. Improving nutrient use efficiency is crucial to sustainable food production. It can be helpful in tackling this critical...
