Evaluation of oilseed Brassica napus germplasm for days to flowering under a short-day condition and QTL mapping of the trait
DownloadSpring 2021
Canola (Brassica napus, AACC = 2n = 38) is an important oilseed crop in Canada. Among the different agronomic traits, the earliness of flowering and maturity are important for growing this crop on the Canadian prairies. The earliness of flowering can be improved by using the genes/alleles capable...

Fall 2021
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f.sp. tritici Erikss. (Pst), is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) globally. Exploring and utilising new sources of resistance is essential for breeding resistant wheat cultivars. The objective of this thesis...

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...

Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Agronomic Traits and Disease Resistance in a Canadian Spring Wheat Mapping Population
DownloadFall 2018
Due to reduced genotyping costs and high-throughput technologies, marker assisted selection has become a valuable tool for plant breeders, allowing for identifying traits of interest in screened germplasm. Marker assisted selection requires the identification of stable, and consistent...

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...

Use of Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapifera) and Rutabaga (B. napus var. napobrassica) for the Improvement of Clubroot Resistance in Spring B. napus Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most serious threats to spring Brassica napus canola production in Canada. Growing of clubroot-resistant cultivars is the key to control this disease. The genetic base of the Canadian spring B. napus canola for clubroot...
