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...

Factors influencing Plasmodiophora brassicae resting spore loads in soil and clubroot disease severity in canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadSpring 2015
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is an important soilborne disease of Brassica napus canola. Studies were conducted to increase understanding of the impact of various soil parameters and crop rotation regimes on P. brassicae inoculum levels and clubroot severity, respectively. In...

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...

Spring 2010
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...

Development and Validation of a Sclerotinia sclerotiorum-Specific Quantitative PCR Assay to Assess Risk of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadFall 2016
Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a major disease of canola (Brassica napus) commonly managed by the routine application of fungicides. Petal infestation is an important stage of the disease cycle and has been the focus of previously developed Sclerotinia stem rot risk...

Genetic variation for nitrogen use efficiency in Canada Western Red Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under conventional and organic management systems
DownloadSpring 2018
Improved nitrogen use efficiency in cereal-based agricultural systems can contribute to increasing grain production while reducing agriculture-related pollution caused by nitrogen leaching, volatilization and denitrification. Organic agriculture differs to conventional systems in terms of in...

Extraction of canola proteins and assessment of their applications: cruciferin for encapsulation of bioactives and napin as a chaperone-like molecule
DownloadFall 2016
Canola is a farm-gate crop in Canada. Canola meal after oil extraction is used mostly as animal feed with limited value-added applications. Canola proteins are known to have great potential for use in food and non-food applications due to their nutritional, biological and functional properties....

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...

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...

A proteome-level analysis of the canola/Sclerotinia sclerotiorum interaction and sclerotial development
DownloadFall 2010
The fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is capable of infecting over 400 plant species including canola (Brassica napus L.). The fungus secretes oxalic acid (OA), which plays an important role in infection and disease progression. An analysis of proteome-level changes...
