A proteome-level analysis of the canola/Sclerotinia sclerotiorum interaction and sclerotial development
DownloadFall 2010
The fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is capable of infecting over 400 plant species including canola (Brassica napus L.). The fungus secretes oxalic acid (OA), which plays an important role in infection and disease progression. An analysis of proteome-level changes...

An assessment of the fumigant metam sodium and a Brassica juncea-derived biofumigant as management tools for clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) of canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadFall 2016
Clubroot of crucifers, caused by the soilborne parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is spreading across canola (Brassica napus) fields in Alberta, Canada. Dissemination of the parasite is associated with the movement of infested soil on farm and other machinery, with the disease generally...

Assessments of novel transgenic germplasm and treatment with the phytohormone cytokinin for reducing feeding damage by flea beetles, Phyllotreta spp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in canola
DownloadFall 2011
Flea beetles Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) and Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) pose significant threats to early canola seedling establishment. The resistance potential of transgenic Brassica napus expressing cDNA encoding pea PR10.1 and 10.4 (ABR17) in Westar and...

Best Management Practices for Implementing Ultra-Early Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Growing Systems on the Northern Great Plains
DownloadSpring 2023
Ultra-early planting of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) between soil temperatures of 0°C and 7.5°C on the northern Great Plains allows the exploitation of longer growing seasons and the avoidance of the onset of extreme heat later in the season during sensitive physiological growth stages,...

Carotid atherosclerosis is responsible for 15-25% of the nearly 8 million first-ever ischemic strokes that occur each year worldwide. This proportion has remained constant over the past three decades, thus suggesting that some patients with carotid atherosclerosis currently receive suboptimal...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of C genome of B. oleracea var. capitata, and the effect of this on the performance of the inbred lines and their test-hybrids
DownloadFall 2018
Broadening the genetic base of spring B. napus canola is important for continued progress in breeding of hybrid cultivars. The objectives of this study were to (i) assess the potential of the C genome of B. oleracea var. capitata (cabbage) for broadening the genetic base of the C genome of B....

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of yellow sarson and Canadian spring Brassica rapa L.
DownloadFall 2015
Canada is the top producer of Brassica oilseeds [B. napus L. (n = 19, AC genome)] in the world. Genetic diversity has declined in this crop in the recent years due to use of only superior and genetically narrow gene pool in breeding. Presence of adequate genetic diversity is important for further...

Co-Fermentation of Wheat and Whey Permeate for Ethanol Production and Chemical Characteristics of the Resulting Dried Distillers' Grains with Solubles
DownloadFall 2014
The vast majority of global bio-ethanol production uses food crops as the primary feedstocks, which leads to the high dependence of ethanol production cost on the price of the crop-based carbon resources. The demand, and interests, to use cheaper non-crop-based carbon sources for the ethanol...

Comparison of physiology and genome-wide expression in two Nitrosomonas spp. under batch cultivation
DownloadFall 2014
Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) play a central role in the nitrogen cycle by oxidizing ammonia to nitrite. Nitrosomonas europaea ATCC 19718 has been the single most studied AOB that has contributed to our understanding of chemolithotrophic ammonia oxidation. As a closely related species,...
