Fall 2010
The development of a biorefining process acknowledges the feedstock characterization as it can often dictate the process technology. The maturity stages of agricultural feedstocks also have the potential for altering the process conditions. Thus, the variability of growth stages at 4-6 leaf,...

Singh, Shikhar, Kumar, Amit, Jain, Siddharth
The production of biofuels (e.g., ethanol and biodiesel) requires a significant amount of water during feedstock production, transportation, and its conversion into biofuels. Therefore present study devoted to study the impact of biofuel production on water demand in Alberta. In scenario #1, it...

Induction of microsomal membrane proteins in roots of an aluminum-resistant cultivar of Triticum aestivum L. under conditions of aluminum stress
Download1994
Basu, U., Basu, A., Taylor, G. J.
Three-day-old seedlings of an Al-sensitive (Neepawa) and an Al-resistant (PT741) cultivar of Triticum aestivum were subjected to Al concentrations ranging from a to 100 mu M for 72 h. At 25 mu M Al, growth of roots was inhibited by 57% in the Al-sensitive cultivar, whereas root growth in the...

Intercropping systems offer potential benefits relative to monocultures of increased crop yields and improved pest control through physical, chemical, or behavioural interference and the enhancement of natural enemy populations, prompting increased predation and parasitism. Intercrops of canola...

Investigation on the uptake of functional proteins and infectious prions into wheat plants through the root system
DownloadSpring 2014
Prions are the proteinaceous particle responsible for infections in a class of neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases affect a number of mammals including cervids where it is termed Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Prions enter the environment and persist for years. Plants have the ability to...

Mapping of genomic regions associated with agronomic traits and resistance to diseases in Canadian spring wheat
DownloadSpring 2017
Wheat breeders, in addition to phenotypic selection, employ molecular markers in their programs for different purposes, including parental selection, quality control, analysis of advanced lines (cultivars), on genetic purity and identity, and for markers assisted selection. In the first study of...

Optimizing exponential growth of Triticum aestivum by application of the relative addition rate (RAR) technique utilizing a computer-controlled nutrient delivery system
Download2004
Matumoto-Pintro, Paula T., Pintro, José C., Taylor, Gregory J.
We conducted experiments designed to assess whether plants can be grown under conditions of low ionic strength simulating natural soil conditions. Wheat (Triticum aestivum, cv. Atlas 66) plants were grown using ten different relative nutrient addition rates (RAR) of nutrients (0.00, 0.06, 0.09,...

Proteomic analysis of wheat (Triticum aestivum) whole roots and cell walls under water-deficit stress
DownloadSpring 2011
Wheat plants are affected by water-deficit stress in various regions of the world resulting in reduced crop productivity and thus decreased food production. To better understand the protein changes of water-deficit stress in wheat roots, comparative proteomics was performed using 2D gel...

QTL mapping and genetic studies in the Attila x CDC Go spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) mapping population
DownloadSpring 2017
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important staple crops in the world. Wheat breeders in Canada primarily aim to develop cultivars with favored agronomic traits such as short stature, early maturity, high yielding, preferred end-use quality such as high protein content, and at...
