Comparative transcriptome analysis of rutabaga (Brassica napus) cultivars in response to Plasmodiophora brassicae
DownloadFall 2020
Clubroot, a soil-borne disease caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is a threat to canola (Brassica napus L.) production in western Canada. Genetic resistance represents the most effective tool to manage this disease. To improve understanding of the mechanisms of...

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...

Gene expression and sensory structures in sponges: Explorations of sensory-neural origins in a non-bilaterian context
DownloadFall 2017
The nervous system is present in all but two animal phyla – one of them being Porifera, sponges. Sponges have no neurons and yet have organized behavior and finely tuned sensation. Furthermore, sponges have genes involved in the nervous system of other animals (informally called ‘neural’ genes)....

The growth of Listeria monocytogenes and spoilage microorganisms is a concern in sodium-reduced ready-to-eat (RTE) meats. To assess the microbial risk of sodium-reduced RTE meats, the microbiota of retail RTE meats was profiled and the growth of L. monocytogenes and an autochthonous microbiota...

Mapping QTL associated with partial resistance to Aphanomyces and Fusarium root rot in field pea and evaluation of Aphanomyces euteiches resistance by bulked segregant RNA-seq
DownloadFall 2022
Root rot, caused by Aphanomyces euteiches and Fusarium spp., is an important disease of field pea (Pisum sativum) that can be managed with polygenic resistance. An F8 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the cross ‘Reward’ × ‘00-2067’ was evaluated for reaction to A. euteiches...

Responses to lowered salinity in the Pacific spiny dogfish, Squalus suckleyi, a marginally euryhaline shark
DownloadFall 2018
Euryhalinity is the ability to survive in multiple environmental salinities. Full euryhalinity is rare within the elasmobranchs (rays, skates, and sharks), however, marginal euryhalinity is comparatively more common. The physiology underlying these adaptations is relatively understudied in...

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer, and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) accounts for about 90% of ovarian cancers. Despite advancements in medical technology, the overall survival rate of EOC has improved only slightly, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 50%. One cause...

Understanding host-microbiome interactions and influence on STEC colonization in cattle using integrated omics
DownloadFall 2023
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is the major foodborne pathogen in humans with Shiga toxin 1 (stx1) and 2 (stx2) being the main virulence factors. Cattle are the major reservoir of STEC with those shedding >104 CFU/g STEC being defined as super shedders (SS). The rectal anal...
