Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of the C-genome of Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra and B. oleracea var. botrytis
DownloadFall 2015
Spring oilseed Brassica napus L. (AACC, 2n = 38) canola is one of the most important crop in Canada, widely grown in the Prairie Provinces Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Presence of genetic diversity in breeding material is pre-requisite for developing new cultivars with desirable traits as...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of yellow sarson and Canadian spring Brassica rapa L.
DownloadFall 2015
Canada is the top producer of Brassica oilseeds [B. napus L. (n = 19, AC genome)] in the world. Genetic diversity has declined in this crop in the recent years due to use of only superior and genetically narrow gene pool in breeding. Presence of adequate genetic diversity is important for further...

Calcium and Vitamin D Intake During Pregnancy and Postpartum in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) Study
DownloadFall 2016
Calcium and vitamin D are important in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Low intake/status has been associated with preeclampsia, preterm delivery, lower birth weight, poor fetal skeletal growth, reduced bone mass, and excessive maternal bone loss. Rarely have these nutrients been examined...

Spring 2019
Background: Children are at high risk for malnutrition during hospital admission. Over half of children admitted to hospital will exhibit signs of nutrition deterioration such as weight loss. Screening for malnutrition is a critical step in the nutrition care process, however there is currently a...

CANDIDATE GENES, METABOLITES AND BIOLOGICAL PATHWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH RESIDUAL FEED INTAKE AND CARCASS QUALITY IN BEEF CATTLE
DownloadFall 2013
The main objective of this study was to identify genes, DNA variants and plasma metabolites associated with residual feed intake (RFI) in beef cattle. In the first study, a total of 117 SNPs were selected and genotyped in 531 steers at the University of Alberta. The population was split into a...

Cathelicidins modulate the host immune response and the microbiota in Salmonella Typhimurium infection
DownloadFall 2020
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a prevalent incitant of enteritis in human beings and swine. The historic use of antibiotics at non-therapeutic concentrations for growth promotion, and at therapeutic doses for group and individual treatment of pigs has been linked to development of...
