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...

The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major forest pest of pines in western North America. Beetles typically undergo a one-year life cycle with larval cold hardening in preparation for overwintering. Two-year life cycle beetles have been observed but...

Studies on beetle/tree fungal symbionts typically characterize the ecological and geographic distributions of the fungal populations. There is limited understanding of the genome-wide evolutionary processes that act within and between species as such fungi adapt to different environments, leading...

Genetic Engineering, Efficacy and Environmental Biosafety of Transgenic Pea (Pisum sativum L.)
DownloadSpring 2018
Canada is the worldâs largest producer and exporter of field peas (Pisum sativum L.). Plant productivity can be greatly reduced by biotic and abiotic stresses, including fungal diseases and drought. Biotechnological tools are available for enhancing tolerance against these stresses. We...

Development of the vertebrate central nervous system is a complex process that relies on the accurate spatiotemporal distribution of signaling centers during embryogenesis. These signals provide cells with positional information, which is integrated via transcription factors and gene regulatory...

The Biogeography of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) on the Islands of Lac la Ronge, Saskatchewan, Canada
DownloadFall 2015
Islands offer unusual opportunities for studying theoretical concepts in ecology. I studied the role of island size and isolation in structuring assemblages of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) on the islands and adjacent mainland of Lac la Ronge, Saskatchewan, Canada. Carabid beetles were...
