Current Research
Many new projects were initiated in 2011. A few of these include:
Production-related:
- Quantifying genetic differences in seed losses due to pod drop and pod shatter
- Blackleg resistance stewardship: improving our management of host resistance
- Mitigating blackleg disease of canola using fungicide strategies
- Rapid farm-level detection of blackleg pathotypes – proof of concept
- Advanced statistical analysis of strip-plot and small-plot canola variety data
Trait-related:
- Genomics of clubroot disease development in canola
- Final phase to improve the 'hairy canola' trait
- Identification of genes suitable for marker-assisted clubroot resistance genes
- Characterization and utilization of new sources of clubroot resistance
- Identifying virulence factors in blackleg disease of canola
New Uses of Canola:
- Adding nutritive value to vegetable protein meals and legume seeds
- Close coupled gasification combustion of raw glycerin and canola hull fiber
- Quantify protein structure and sub fractions in canola seed and meal
