Genetic mapping and physiological characterization of water-use efficiency in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) on the Canadian Prairies
DownloadFall 2011
Temporal or seasonal water deficit is one of the major factors limiting crop yield on the Canadian Prairies. Empirical knowledge suggests that carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C), through its negative relationship with water-use efficiency (WUE), is a good index for selecting crop varieties...

Genetic structure, virulence and fungicide sensitivity of Pyrenophora teres f. teres and P. teres f. maculata populations from western Canada
DownloadSpring 2017
The fungi Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) and P. teres f. maculata (Ptm) cause net form net blotch (NFNB) and spot form net blotch (SFNB) of barley, respectively. The genetic structure of a collection of 128 Ptt and 92 Ptm isolates, representing fungal populations from western Canada, was...

Governing Metis Indigeneity: The Settler-Colonial Dispossession and Regulation of the Metis in Mid-Twentieth Century Manitoba
DownloadSpring 2021
Bringing together the fields of Critical Indigenous Studies, settler-colonial studies, and governmentality studies, this dissertation seeks to methodologically trace the dispossession of Metis from lands in Manitoba throughout the mid-twentieth century by placing these dispossessions into the...

Quantifying the nitrogen benefits of cool season pulse crops to an Alberta prairie cropping system
DownloadFall 2011
Diverse crop rotations are an important part of sustainable agricultural systems. More information is needed in Alberta on the effects of adding pulse crops to current rotations. This experiment investigated the effects of ‘Snowbird’ tannin-free faba bean (Vicia faba L.), ‘Arabella’ narrow-leafed...

The Effect of Cultivar, Seeding Date and Seeding Rate, on Triticale in the Western Canadian Prairies
DownloadFall 2012
Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) is a minor cereal crop in Alberta that has garnered interest as a biofuel feedstock. Little agronomic information has been reported on triticale cultivars released since 1990. Field experiments were conducted at four sites in Alberta to compare cultivar...

The Material Culture of Hudson’s Bay Company Servants at Edmonton House in the Early 19th Century
DownloadFall 2018
Consumer markets were an important aspect of the westward expansion of European trading companies in North America in the early 19th century. This thesis is concerned with one particular consumer market, that of the servants of the Hudson’s Bay Company at Edmonton House. The servants at Edmonton...

The Performance of Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivar Mixtures in Conventionally and Organically Managed Systems in Western Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Wheat cultivar mixtures may positively alter grain yield, quality, improve biotic and abiotic management, and may be employed in both conventional and organic management systems. Such promising benefits have not been thoroughly studied in Canada, especially in the western region where most...
