Impact of protein, starch, and dietary fiber on functionality and protein matrix of faba bean and pea Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP)
DownloadSpring 2024
Low moisture extrusion is a complex scalable technology that uses heat, pressure and shear to texturize plant proteins into extrudates called texturized vegetable proteins (TVP) used in the development of meat analogue products. Increasing interest in meat analogues and the rise of new sources of...

Improving Verticillium longisporum inoculation protocols and quantifying canola yield losses
DownloadSpring 2024
Verticillium stripe, caused by Verticillium longisporum, is an emerging soilborne disease of the Canadian canola (Brassica napus) crop. This study aimed to refine techniques for inoculating the pathogen on canola and to quantify its impact on hybrid canola yield under greenhouse and field...

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...

Novel mild fractionation of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and physicochemical and functional characterization of protein as a food ingredient
DownloadFall 2023
Alternative planet-friendly protein sources are increasingly acknowledged as a sustainable solution to supplement the global animal-derived protein demand. Among the pulses, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) has such potential. The isolation of faba bean protein can minimise the anti-nutritional,...

Best Management Practices for Implementing Ultra-Early Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Growing Systems on the Northern Great Plains
DownloadSpring 2023
Ultra-early planting of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) between soil temperatures of 0°C and 7.5°C on the northern Great Plains allows the exploitation of longer growing seasons and the avoidance of the onset of extreme heat later in the season during sensitive physiological growth stages,...

Identification and genetic mapping of resistance genes against Canadian pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae in Brassica rapa and Brassica napus
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) is an important disease of canola/rapeseed (Brassica napus) and other crucifers. In this study, resistance loci/genes effective against P. brassicae pathotypes 2B, 3A, 3D, 3H, 5C, 5X and 8J were identified and mapped via genotyping-by-sequencing, QTL analysis,...

Monitoring Airborne Inoculum of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum at Canola Flowering and Relationships to Weather Conditions and Disease Incidence and Severity
DownloadFall 2022
Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is an important disease of canola (Brassica napus). Disease development is highly dependent on weather conditions and is initiated by infection of the petals by airborne ascospores, followed by mycelial progression into leaf and stem...

Lab-on-a-Chip Designs for Airborne Spore Detection: Towards the Forecasting of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting crops. More than 400 plant species around the globe are affected by this fungus. In canola, one of Canada’s most important crops, yield losses due to...

Nutritional Value of Faba Bean Cultivars as Dietary Source of Energy and Protein for Weaned and Growing Pigs
DownloadFall 2022
Novel faba bean cultivars vary in nutrient content, digestibility and antinutritional factors that must be characterized to prioritize which faba bean cultivars to grow for pigs feeding. In chapter 2, five diets included (20%, phase 1; 30%, phase 2) 3 different, zero-tannin and high...

Exploring above- and belowground behavioural responses to nutrients and neighbours in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
DownloadSpring 2022
Taking in environmental information and responding in ways that maximize their ability to thrive and reproduce, plants exhibit behaviour through constant changes in biomass development and spatial distribution. Studies aiming to map this behaviour often use model plants like sunflowers and...
