Genetic study on Brassica rapa and Brassica napus for seed color and identification of molecular markers
DownloadFall 2012
Yellow seed in Brassica oilseed crops is favoured for its association with lower fibre and higher oil contents. Yellow-seeded Brassica napus lines have been developed through introgression of this trait from its allied species; however, the trait in B. napus is often influenced by environmental...

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,...

Fall 2010
Yield losses from infestations of root maggots (Delia spp.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) can be severe in canola crops in central Alberta. Studies were undertaken in central Alberta, Canada to manipulate agronomic practices that have potential to affect crop yield, root maggot infestations, and the...

Improving Verticillium longisporum inoculation protocols and quantifying canola yield losses
DownloadSpring 2024
Verticillium stripe, caused by Verticillium longisporum, is an emerging soilborne disease of the Canadian canola (Brassica napus) crop. This study aimed to refine techniques for inoculating the pathogen on canola and to quantify its impact on hybrid canola yield under greenhouse and field...

Spring 2010
Intercropping systems offer potential benefits relative to monocultures of increased crop yields and improved pest control through physical, chemical, or behavioural interference and the enhancement of natural enemy populations, prompting increased predation and parasitism. Intercrops of canola...

Introgression of Clubroot Resistance from Brassica oleracea into B. napus Canola through Interspecific Cross
DownloadSpring 2022
Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin is a serious threat to canola production in Canada. Most of the available clubroot-resistant canola cultivars carry major resistance genes of the Brassica A genome. However, the ineffectiveness of this type of resistance has been...

Lab-on-a-Chip Designs for Airborne Spore Detection: Towards the Forecasting of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting crops. More than 400 plant species around the globe are affected by this fungus. In canola, one of Canada’s most important crops, yield losses due to...

Molecular and functional characterization of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase of plants
DownloadSpring 2011
sn-Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) catalyzes the acylation of sn-1 position of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate to produce lysophosphatidic acid and Coenzyme A. GPATs are involved in several lipid synthetic pathways and play important physiological roles in plant development. The present...

Spring 2022
Clubroot, caused by the soilborne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a threat to cruciferous crops worldwide and an important disease of canola (Brassica napus L.) in Canada. At present, pathotypes of P. brassicae are distinguished phenotypically based on their virulence patterns on host...
