The genetic signature of rapid range expansions: How dispersal, growth and invasion speed impact heterozygosity and allele surfing
Download2014-01-01
Lewis, Mark A. , Coltman, David W. , Goodsman, Devin W., Cooke, Barry
As researchers collect spatiotemporal population and genetic data in tandem, models that connect demography and dispersal to genetics are increasingly relevant. The dominant spatiotemporal model of invasion genetics is the stepping-stone model which represents a gradual range expansion in which...

The Impact of Clubroot Resistant Canola Cultivars on Plasmodiophora brassicae Resting Spore Concentrations in the Soil
DownloadFall 2016
The soilborne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, causal agent of clubroot of canola (Brassica napus L.), is difficult to manage due to the longevity of its resting spores, its ability to produce large amounts of inoculum, and the prohibitive costs of effective fungicides. The cropping of...

Transcriptomic responses in spring canola carrying clubroot resistance introgressed from rutabaga or “Mendel”
DownloadFall 2020
Canola provides ~15% of the total global vegetable oil supply and is an important crop contributing about $26.7 billion to Canada’s economy. Canola production has been threatened by clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, which in extreme case can result complete crop...

Type-1 Brassica napus Diacylglycerol Acyltransferases: Enzyme Characterization and Molecular Tools for Increasing Storage Lipid Production in Yeast
DownloadFall 2015
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step in the acyl-CoA- dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). The level of DGAT activity may have a substantial effect on the flow of carbon into TAG in many organisms. In plants, yeast, and animals, two families of...

Understanding the role of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on postpartum reproductive function and embryo development in dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2016
The objectives of this work were to investigate the influence of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on feed intake, calf birth weight, maternal and neonatal fatty acid profiles, milk production, postpartum reproductive function, early embryonic development and its transcriptome profile in...

Heuven, H. , Plastow, G., Peleman, J., Siggens, K., Brugmanns, B., Bagga, M.
AFLP® was utilized successfully as a tool to generate a large number (more than 100) of DNA markers in a total of 2435 individuals from the EC Pig Biodiversity project. This information was used for an initial genetic distance analysis with the results tending to group the lines and breeds as...

Yields, quality and suitability of four annual forages for deer pasture in North Central Alberta
Download2009
Chapman, G., Bork, E,, Donkor, N., Hudson, R.
Field pea (Pisum sativum), canola (Brassica napus), turnips (Brassica rapa) and Berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) were grown in north central Alberta to assess their potential yield and quality and to evaluate their utilization and preference by white-tailed deer. Herbage DM yield, crude...
