INSTITUTIONAL LOCK-IN AND PRODUCER-CONTROLLED CROP RESEARCH CHECK-OFFS IN SASKATCHEWAN
… programs in Saskatchewan. Check-off and research investment rates among these programs are typically low. Most check-off rates are below 0.5 per cent of the value of the underlying commodity and agency research expenditures as a percentage of the value of the underlying commodity are, in …

Public, Producer, Private Partnerships and EPR systems in Australian Wheat Breeding
Australia has a crop research system with higher research intensity than exists internationally. Motivated to improve R&D policy in Canada, this dissertation focuses on the Australian End Point Royalty (EPR) system for wheat and addresses four principal questions: (1) How was the Australian system …

Nutrient Uptake Estimates for Woody Species as Described by the NST 3.0, SSAND, and PCATS Mechanistic Nutrient Uptake Models
… uptake models have become widely used as research and teaching tools in plant and soil science. Three models NST 3.0, SSAND, and PCATS have evolved to represent the current state of the art. There are two major categories of mechanistic models, transient state models with numerical …

Testing new genetic and genomic approaches for trait mapping and prediction in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and rice (Oryza spp)
… (GBS), driving the application of genomics in crop research and breeding. They have also supported the use of novel mapping approaches, including Multi-parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) populations which have increased precision in identifying markers to inform plant breeding …

Uncovering the genetic basis of seed amino acid composition in arabidopsis using a multi-omics integrative approach
… seed amino acid composition of major crops are not sufficient to meet dietary requirements. Protein in the seed is comprised of free amino acids (FAA) and protein bound amino acids (PBAA) which have both been the targets of manipulation in order to create a seed with a more balanced …

Fine mapping and characterization of genes involved in maize nitrogen utilization efficiency
Maize is one of the most productive crop species on earth. A core component of this productivity comes from maize’s responsiveness to nitrogen fertilizers. Despite their importance in crop production, these fertilizers can place an economic burden on growers and can also have negative environmental …
