(2019-05-03)Abstract Background Fusarium head blight resistance genes, Fhb1 (for Type-II resistance), Fhb2 (Type-II), and Fhb5 (Type-I plus some Type-II), which originate from Sumai 3, ... -
Genome wide SNP discovery in flax through next generation sequencing of reduced representation libraries
(2012-12-06)Abstract Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a significant fibre and oilseed crop. Current flax molecular markers, including isozymes, RAPDs, AFLPs and SSRs are of limited use in the ... -
Global Gene Expression Profiling in PPAR-γ Agonist-Treated Kidneys in an Orthologous Rat Model of Human Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease
(2012-5-13)Kidneys are enlarged by aberrant proliferation of tubule epithelial cells leading to the formation of numerous cysts, nephron loss, and interstitial fibrosis in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Pioglitazone (PIO), a PPAR-γ ... -
Health-related behaviours and their relationship with self-rated health among Canadian adults
(2019-07-18)Abstract Background Self-rated health (SRH) is a commonly used survey measure as a substitute for a clinical measure of health, which has demonstrated validity and reliability ... -
Hopping species and borders: detection of Bartonella spp. in avian nest fleas and arctic foxes from Nunavut, Canada
(2020-09-14)Abstract Background In a warmer and more globally connected Arctic, vector-borne pathogens of zoonotic importance may be increasing in prevalence in native wildlife. Recently, Bartonella henselae, the causative agent of ... -
Identification and characterization of the three homeologues of a new sucrose transporter in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(2013-11-16)Abstract Background Sucrose transporters (SUTs) play important roles in regulating the translocation of assimilates from source to sink tissues. Identification and characterization of new SUTs ... -
Identification of resistance loci in Chinese and Canadian canola/rapeseed varieties against Leptosphaeria maculans based on genome-wide association studies
(2020-07-21)Abstract Background The fungal pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans (Lm). causes blackleg disease on canola/rapeseed in many parts of the world. It is important to use resistant cultivars to manage the disease and minimize ... -
Impact Report: Manitoba's Potato Industry
(Research Manitoba, 2019-10-15)Historically, Manitoba’s potato industry has been the second largest in Canada, after Prince Edward Island’s. From 1980 to 2018, we calculated that the approximate direct monetary value of funding into potato research was ... -
Indicators of induced subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in Danish Holstein cows
(2015-07-17)Abstract Background The prevalence of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in dairy cows is high with large impact on economy and welfare. Its current field diagnosis is based on ... -
Indigestible cowpea proteins reduced plasma cholesterol after long-term oral administration to Sprague-Dawley rats
(2021-06-16)Abstract Cowpea protein isolate (CPI) was subjected to various dry and wet heat pretreatments followed by sequential digestion with pepsin and pancreatin; the undigested residues were isolated as the ... -
