Utilizing Beneficial Bacterial Endophytes to Promote Switchgrass Growth in Low- input Agricultural Production Systems
… Bacterial endophytes, which reside inside plant tissues, are proven to increase yield and stress resistance in a number of plants. The primary objective of this dissertation was to explore the use of endophytes to improve biomass yields of switchgrass on lands not suitable for food crops …

Using Dictyostelium discoideum to develop flavonoid therapeutics for polycystic kidney disease: the role of MATE transporters
… compounds was adapted from a method used in plant sciences, enhancing the flavonoid fluorescence emission with conjugated NA. In conjunction with LC-MS, in vivo cellular localisation and differential uptake of flavonoids could then be observed and quantified. Hesperetin and naringenin did not …

Plant uptake study : the hyperaccumulating and remediating potential of three plant species
… mine site in northeastern British Columbia. The plants were cultivated in containment bins which were irrigated using water collected from the mine settling ponds containing elevated levels of selenium and sulphate. Water from an un-impacted creek near the mine site was used for the control bins. …

Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis of Iron Deficiency Chlorosis in Soybean
… chlorosis (IDC), a physiological problem with plants grown in high pH calcareous soils. Planting tolerant varieties is the best approach to meet the challenge. Currently, the variety development is limited by lack of genetic resources and knowledge about mechanisms of resistance to IDC. The …

Evaluation of Mycotoxin Accumulation and Bran Thickness Between Red and White Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Near-Isogenic Lines
… were collected from both infected and uninfected plants. To compare accumulation of DON in the kernel bran layers, the samples were pearl-milled to produce bran and non-bran fractions. Regardless of genotype, DON accumulation in bran fractions was significantly higher than in non-bran fractions. …

Impact of Low-Amylose, Waxy Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Flour Blends on Functional Tortilla Characteristics
<p>The impact of wheat flour starch components affecting end-use quality in food products is not well understood. However, the breeding of waxy wheat lines having low levels of amylose starch has provided new possibilities to characterize the impact of starch on end-use food quality and …
