Differential aluminum tolerance of high-yielding, early maturing Canadian wheat cultivars and germplasm
Download1989
Taylor, G.J., Briggs, K.G., Hoddinott, J., Sturgess, I.
Twenty-eight spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars were tested for tolerance to aluminum (Al) using solution culture techniques. Fourteen of these cultivars were also grown in the fietd under two different management levels, Conventional and Intensive Crop Management (ICM), to determine...

Differential exudation of polypeptides by roots of aluminum-resistant and aluminum-sensitive cultivars of Triticum aestivum L. in response to aluminum stress
Download1994
Basu, A., Taylor, G. J., Basu, U.
Cultivars of Triticum aestivum differing in resistance to Al were grown under aseptic conditions in the presence and absence of Al and polypeptides present in root exudates were collected, concentrated, and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon exposure to...

Reid, R. J., Rengel, Z., McDonald-Stephens, J. L., Hunter, D. B., Elmore, D., Taylor, G. J., Bertsch, P. M.
Quantitative information on the uptake and distribution of Al at the cellular level is required to understand mechanisms of Al toxicity, but direct measurement of uptake across the plasma membrane has remained elusive. We measured rates of Al transport across membranes in single cells of Chara...

This thesis evaluates economic impact of adoption of crops developed by means of modern genomic tools. The economic impact of these improved crops is looked at from two different angles: the welfare implications from trading improved crops on the world market, and the benefits of adopting...

Spring 2018
The effect of plant proteins, specifically those from yellow field pea seeds on the in vitro digestibility of wheat starch was studied. Initially, the starch digestibility profile of pressure cooked pea seeds (dehulled and split), pea flour and isolated starches from pea and wheat was evaluated...

Effect of postweaning implantation of zeranol and dietary energy level on growth and reproductive performance of replacement beef heifers
Download1991
Makarechian, M., Arthur, P. F., Price, M. A.
Eighty-one heifer calves weaned at an average age of 6 mo were used to study the effect of postweaning zeranol implantation, on the growth and reproductive performance of heifers fed to grow slowly on three dietary energy levels. Forty heifers were implanted with 36 mg of zeranol at 30 d and...

Effects of breed type and slaughter weight on feedlot performance and carcass composition in bulls
Download1978
Jones, S. D. M., Price, M. A., Berg, R. T.
A trial is reported comparing the growth and carcass characteristics ofbulls of three breed-types: Hereford crossbred (HC), beef synthetic (SY) and dairy crossbred (DC).

Effects of dietary enrichment with a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement in sows with predicted birth weight phenotypes on birth litter quality and growth performance to weaning
Download2015
Patterson, Jennifer L., Foxcroft, George R., Dixon, Walter T., Spencer, Joel D., Smit, M. N., Dyck, Michael K.
The effects of a marine oil-based n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (mLCPUFA) supplement fed to the sow from weaning, through the rebreeding period, during gestation and until end of lactation on litter characteristics from birth until weaning were studied in sows with known litter birth...
