Evaluation of Spring Canola (Brassica Napus) Lines Derived from Rutabaga (Brassica Napus Var. Napobrassica) X Canola Crosses for Agronomic and Seed Quality Traits and Heterosis
DownloadSpring 2018
Brassica napus L. (AACC, 2n = 38) canola is the most extensively cultivated Brassica oilseed crop in the world; it is one of the most important field crops in Canada. The narrow genetic diversity in this crop is considered one of the major hindrances for continued improvement of this crop for...

Extraction of canola proteins and assessment of their applications: cruciferin for encapsulation of bioactives and napin as a chaperone-like molecule
DownloadFall 2016
Canola is a farm-gate crop in Canada. Canola meal after oil extraction is used mostly as animal feed with limited value-added applications. Canola proteins are known to have great potential for use in food and non-food applications due to their nutritional, biological and functional properties....

Factors influencing Plasmodiophora brassicae resting spore loads in soil and clubroot disease severity in canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadSpring 2015
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is an important soilborne disease of Brassica napus canola. Studies were conducted to increase understanding of the impact of various soil parameters and crop rotation regimes on P. brassicae inoculum levels and clubroot severity, respectively. In...

Genetic diversity and host specificity in the winter tick - Dermacentor albipictus (Acari: Ixodidae)
DownloadFall 2012
Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) is an obligate, hematophagous ectoparasite commonly found on large ungulates in North America. At high infestation levels, the winter tick is known to cause severe pathology and may transmit diseases to its hosts. Knowledge of the genetic diversity in this...

Genetic variation in lodgepole pine and interior spruce: adaptation to climate and implications for seed transfer
DownloadSpring 2014
This thesis investigates genetic variation of two commercially important conifers in western Canada, interior spruce and lodgepole pine. The goals were to quantify genetic diversity and geographic structure, to describe multitrait adaptation to local climates, and to use this information for the...

Grounding global seeds: a contextual comparison of the politico-ecological implications of genetically modified crops for farming communities in Alberta (Canada) and Andhra Pradesh (India)
DownloadFall 2010
The main objective of my dissertation is to analyze and compare the socio-ecological implications of the adoption of genetically modified (GM) seeds and alternative agroecological farming methods for farming communities in Alberta, Canada and Andhra Pradesh, India – localities situated in...

Identification and genetic mapping of resistance genes against Canadian pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae in Brassica rapa and Brassica napus
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) is an important disease of canola/rapeseed (Brassica napus) and other crucifers. In this study, resistance loci/genes effective against P. brassicae pathotypes 2B, 3A, 3D, 3H, 5C, 5X and 8J were identified and mapped via genotyping-by-sequencing, QTL analysis,...
