Development and Evolution of Complex Reproductive Traits in the Brassicaceae and Cleomaceae
DownloadSpring 2023
Flowering plants exhibit a bewildering diversity of forms, which raises fundamental questions on how that diversity arises. A cornerstone of evolutionary developmental biology is the expansion of comparative landscapes and establishment of focal clades that enable investigation of complex and...

A Coarse-Grained Simulation Framework to Study Polyethylenimine-DNA Nanoparticles in Gene Delivery
DownloadSpring 2022
Cellular DNAs contain genetic information vital for the functioning of the cells. Corruption of this information, or genetic disorders, can lead to various diseases. A potential treatment is to deliver exogenous DNAs with the correct genetic information to malignant cells to achieve a...

Impact of Farming Practices on Soil Bacterial Community Composition, Diversity, and Interactions in the Main Agricultural Regions of Alberta
DownloadSpring 2022
Soil health refers to “the capacity of soil to function as a vital living system”, implying not only the capacity of soil to providing services of human interest, but also its capacity to provide ecological services, which makes ecosystems sustainable for the long term. The assessment of soil...

The Paleobiology, Paleoecology, and Evolution of Thescelosauridae (Ornithischia) from Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Thescelosauridae is a basal neornithischian dinosaur clade that flourished in the Cretaceous from the Aptian to the Maastrichtian. This diverse but poorly studied group of small-bodied herbivores is divided taxonomically into Orodrominae and Thescelosaurinae, and existed in Asia and North and...

Molecular assays to detect the presence and viability of Phytophthora ramorum and Grosmannia clavigera
Download2020-02-01
Wong, Barbara, Leal, Isabel, Feau, Nicolas, Dale, Angela, Uzunovic, Adnan, Hamelin, Richard C.
Wood and wood products can harbor microorganisms that can raise phytosanitary concerns in countries importing or exporting these products. To evaluate the efficacy of wood treatment on the survival of microorganisms of phytosanitary concern the method of choice is to grow microbes in petri dishes...
