Evaluation of Genetic Diversity and Performance of the Inbred Lines Derived from B. Napus x B. Rapa Interspecific Crosses and Their Test Hybrids
DownloadSpring 2018
ABSTRACTSpring Brassica napus L. canola (AACC, 2n = 38) is the second most important crop in Canada. Genetic diversity in this crop is narrow; therefore, broadening of the genetic base of this crop is needed for continued improvement through breeding. For this, the exotic gene pools of this...

Evaluation of oilseed Brassica napus germplasm for days to flowering under a short-day condition and QTL mapping of the trait
DownloadSpring 2021
Canola (Brassica napus, AACC = 2n = 38) is an important oilseed crop in Canada. Among the different agronomic traits, the earliness of flowering and maturity are important for growing this crop on the Canadian prairies. The earliness of flowering can be improved by using the genes/alleles capable...

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...

Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...

Genetic and molecular analysis of clubroot resistance in canola introgressed from rutabaga cvs. Polycross and Brookfield
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae is a serious threat to canola (Brassica napus) production. The evolution of new pathotypes has rendered available resistances ineffective and has necessitated the introgression of new resistance into canola and furthering our understanding of...

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,...
