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...

Learning in Social Action in Contexts of Mining Dispossession: A Critical Case Study of Roșia Montană, Romania
DownloadSpring 2021
Witiw, Taylor Kermit Christopher
Transnational corporations promise win-win development, but extractive projects often deliver dispossession, displacement, impoverishment, environmental degradation, and disrupt social relations in rural localities. These conditions can in turn engender contestation and resistance to...

Assessments of novel transgenic germplasm and treatment with the phytohormone cytokinin for reducing feeding damage by flea beetles, Phyllotreta spp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in canola
DownloadFall 2011
Flea beetles Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) and Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) pose significant threats to early canola seedling establishment. The resistance potential of transgenic Brassica napus expressing cDNA encoding pea PR10.1 and 10.4 (ABR17) in Westar and...

Long-term cardiovascular and metabolic effects of hypoxia-induced intrauterine growth restriction
DownloadSpring 2011
Rueda-Clausen, Christian Federico
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are still the primary cause of death and disability in modern society. Although genetic factors play a fundamental role in the development of these chronic conditions, the remarkable variability in an individual’s susceptibility to develop these pathologies...

Beyond Collaboration and Resistance: Accommodation at the Weihsien Internment Camp, China, 1943-1945
DownloadFall 2010
In this thesis, I explore the experiences of some 2,000 allied civilians in the Japanese-run Weihsien Internment Camp (濰縣集中營) in Shandong, China from 1943 to 1945. Beyond serving as a counterpoint to the Japanese internment in North America during the Second World War, the Weihsien Camp also...

Novel mechanisms of carboplatin resistance in epithelial ovarian cancer and their therapeutic potential
DownloadFall 2015
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) constitutes approximately 90% of all ovarian malignancies. Platinum-based compounds have been used to treat EOC, with carboplatin currently being used as a first-line therapeutic agent...

Pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae from clubroot resistant canola and assessment of amisulbrom for clubroot control
DownloadSpring 2021
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is an important soilborne disease of canola (oilseed rape; Brassica napus L.). In Canada, clubroot management relies heavily on the planting of resistant cultivars, but since 2013, resistance has been broken in an increasing number of fields....

Anti-Cancer Mechanism of Trastuzumab via Blocking Nuclear HER2 Function and Epigenetic Mechanism of Resistance
DownloadSpring 2020
HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase (encoded by ERBB2 gene) is overexpressed in approximately 25% of all breast cancer tumors (known as HER2-positive breast cancers). Overexpression of HER2 causes overactivation of downstream receptor tyrosine kinase pathways including PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways and is...
