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...

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...

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and doubled haploid technology for spring wheat improvement
DownloadSpring 2014
Efficiency is important in wheat breeding programs. A series of studies were conducted to determine genetic differentials, map genomic regions affecting various agronomic and quality traits in conventional and organic management systems and to improve doubled haploid (DH) technology in spring...

Quantitative trait loci and genomewide association mapping in western Canadian spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
DownloadSpring 2016
Early maturity, grain yield and grain protein content are some of the important traits in western Canadian wheat breeding programs. A series of experiments were conducted to explore the genetic basis of days to heading, and maturity, plant height, grain protein, grain yield and related traits. In...

The Effect of Cultivar, Seeding Date and Seeding Rate, on Triticale in the Western Canadian Prairies
DownloadFall 2012
Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) is a minor cereal crop in Alberta that has garnered interest as a biofuel feedstock. Little agronomic information has been reported on triticale cultivars released since 1990. Field experiments were conducted at four sites in Alberta to compare cultivar...

The Material Culture of Hudson’s Bay Company Servants at Edmonton House in the Early 19th Century
DownloadFall 2018
Consumer markets were an important aspect of the westward expansion of European trading companies in North America in the early 19th century. This thesis is concerned with one particular consumer market, that of the servants of the Hudson’s Bay Company at Edmonton House. The servants at Edmonton...

The Performance of Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivar Mixtures in Conventionally and Organically Managed Systems in Western Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Wheat cultivar mixtures may positively alter grain yield, quality, improve biotic and abiotic management, and may be employed in both conventional and organic management systems. Such promising benefits have not been thoroughly studied in Canada, especially in the western region where most...

Transcriptome analysis of the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat
DownloadFall 2023
Tan spot, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a foliar disease of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat (Triticum aestivum and T. turgidum, respectively) that can cause significant yield and quality losses. Disease development involves the differential production of...

Spring 2014
Understanding the flowering gene complex in bread wheat is important to utilize the maximum production potential in a time-limited growing season. Vernalization (Vrn), photoperiod (Ppd) and earliness per se are the three genetic constituents of the flowering gene complex. A series of experiments...
