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...

The placenta is an essential transitory fetal organ responsible for the key processes of nutrient, oxygen, and waste transfer between the mother and the fetus throughout gestation. Placental size is, importantly, known to correlate to fetal weight, and the malfunction and malformation of the...

Monitoring Airborne Inoculum of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum at Canola Flowering and Relationships to Weather Conditions and Disease Incidence and Severity
DownloadFall 2022
Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is an important disease of canola (Brassica napus). Disease development is highly dependent on weather conditions and is initiated by infection of the petals by airborne ascospores, followed by mycelial progression into leaf and stem...

Seneviratne, Ruwani Wickramasooriya
The nutritional value of biodiesel co-products were studied for swine. In Exp. 1, expeller-pressed canola meal was nutritionally characterized and validated for grower-finisher pigs. Expeller-pressed canola meal provided adequate energy and AA; ADG was reduced 3 g/d per 1% expeller-pressed canola...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an amphidiploid or allotetraploid (AACC, 2n = 4x = 38) crop plant and it is one of the most important oilseed crops in the world. The narrow genetic base of this crop, especially in its C genome, is not only a major impediment for its continued improvement but also...

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...

Hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel (HDRD) is a promising alternative fuel due to its excellent low-temperature properties, cetane number, and similarity to fossil diesel. Using Alberta as a basis, data-intensive techno-economic models and life cycle assessment models were developed to...

Spring 2018
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which are known to regulate plant responses to abiotic stresses, such as Cold Stress (CS) and during normal growth and development. In Brassica napus (canola), miRNAs regulate various developmental processes and responses to metal stress however;...

Sensitivity of Leptosphaeria maculans isolates to pyraclostrobin and assessment of fungicide efficacy in the management of blackleg of canola
DownloadFall 2016
Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) disease is endemic to canola (Brassica napus) worldwide. With shortened canola rotations and increasing levels of blackleg in Alberta, Canada, growers may look to fungicides as an attractive disease management tool. However, the improper or intensive use of...
