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...

Abiotic and biotic factors influencing host-plant use of a generalist herbivore through plant-mediated interactions: oviposition and larval performance by the bertha armyworm, Mamestra configurata Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on canola
DownloadFall 2018
The bertha armyworm (BAW), Mamestra configurata Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a native, polyphagous herbivore which feeds on a variety of plants in different families. In the Prairie Provinces, canola, Brassica napus L. (Brassicaceae), is a preferred host, making BAW a significant pest....
