Genome-wide association study provides an opportunity to identify genetic resistance in canola varieties against Leptosphaeria maculans

Our intention is to find excellent resistance sources in the Canadian canola cultivars, and other available genotypes through field, greenhouse and lab research to enhance resistance. This will supplement the new resistance sources including novel R gene and quantitative resistance in canola against blackleg disease in Canada. It will also reduce it to become endemic […]

Use of Agricultural by-Products as Alternative Supplementary Cementitious Materials in Concrete

The cement industry emits approximately 814-935 kg of carbon dioxide. Using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to substitute part of the cement content in concrete is considered an effective method to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete and improve its fresh and hardened properties. To respond to the relative scarcity of traditional SCMs or their localization […]

The Biocontrol of Blackleg Using Carnivorous Bacteria

Canola is one of Canada’s most important agricultural crops. Blackleg is a serious disease of canola potentially causing losses of hundreds of millions of dollars per year. This project will provide a new method of biocontrol of blackleg which will prevent or reduce losses to canola. This biocontrol method uses bacteria which are predators of […]

Neutron storage and detection experiments

Measurements of the fundamental properties of neutrons may yield insight into unsolved problems in particle physics and astrophysics. Intense sources of ultracold neutrons, and efficient neutron storage and detection, are needed to make these measurements possible. A new neutron storage vessel, designed and built in Canada, will be tested at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research […]
