Mapping QTLs for different traits in conventional and organic management systems and evaluating the effects of Lr34/Yr18 and Lr37/Yr17 in a Canadian western hard spring wheat population
DownloadSpring 2019
Canadian western red spring wheat (CWRS) has been predominantly cultivated class in Western Canada, because of its premium quality attributes and excellent adaptability to the relatively short growing season. Early maturity, short plant stature, higher grain yield, protein content and dough...

Dispersal by flight is a complex life history phase in many insects that is essential to gene flow and range expansion. Many elements contribute to realized dispersal, including biotic and abiotic environmental conditions, as well as intrinsic factors such as morphology, physiology and behavior....

New insights about barnacle reproduction: Spermcast mating, aerial copulation and population genetic consequences
DownloadSpring 2014
Barnacles are mostly hermaphroditic and they are believed to mate via copulation or, in a few species, by self-fertilization. However, isolated individuals of two species that are thought not to self-fertilize, Pollicipes polymerus and Balanus glandula, nonetheless carried fertilized...

Population structure and associated larval host variation of the forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria
DownloadFall 2020
The forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria (M. disstria) Hübner, is a major forest defoliator with regional differences in host association across its range, but the factors shaping its population structure are poorly understood. In eastern Canada, M. disstria primarily feeds on maple (Acer...

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...

Quantitative trait loci mapping of rust resistance and agronomic traits in the doubled haploid spring wheat population ‘HYAYT12-10’ × ‘GP146’
DownloadSpring 2022
Marker-assisted selection requires the identification of molecular markers associated with major genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL) using linkage analysis. In this study, we used 167 doubled haploid (DH) lines derived from two unregistered spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) parental lines...

The Effect of Mutations in Stearoyl CoA Desaturase Gene and Fatty Acid Synthase on Milk Composition and Fatty Acid Profile in Milk Fat of Dairy Cows
DownloadFall 2009
The effects of diet on milk fatty acid profile, including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) have been well documented, however, there is limited information on the interaction of diet with genetics. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)...

Radiotherapy is often used to treat prostate cancer. While using high dose of radiation does kill cancer cells, it can cause toxicity in healthy tissues for some patients. It would be best to apply this treatment only to patients who are likely to be immune from such toxicity. This requires a...
