Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat, caused by graminearum (Fg), reduces yield and results mycotoxin accumulation the grain. Detached spikes from winter wheat varieties were inoculated with two Fg isolates disease severity was estimated. Mycotoxin content of detached determined. Significant variety, isolate, interaction effects observed (p<0.001). FHB scores evaluated an nursery correlated those for a 3-ADON-producing isolate. Results highlight complex interactions between cultivars,...
The objectives of this study were to investigate the chemical profiles; crude protein (CP) subfractions; ruminal CP degradation characteristics and intestinal digestibility rumen undegraded (RUP); molecular structures using spectroscopy newly developed yellow-seeded flax (Linum usitatissimum L.). Seeds from two yellow flaxseed breeding lines brown varieties evaluated. had higher (P < 0.001) contents oil (44.54 vs 41.42% dry matter (DM)) (24.94 20.91% DM) compared those brown-seeded...
Flax is an important oilseed crop with industrial, animal, and human nutrition uses. Breeding programs for linseed fibre flax were initiated in Canada the early 1900s. A total of 82 cultivars have been registered since 1910, including 24 introduced from foreign countries 58 developed by Canadian breeders. This study collated pedigree data quantified their genetic base via analysis coefficient parentage (CP). fairly high mean CP 0.14 was observed between all cultivars; this value even higher...
Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by graminearum , is one of the most destructive wheat diseases worldwide. FHB infection can dramatically reduce grain yield and quality due to mycotoxins contamination. Wheat resistance quantitatively inherited many low-effect quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been mapped in genome. Synthetic hexaploid (SHW) represents a novel source derived from Aegilops tauschii Triticum turgidum that be transferred into common ( T. aestivum ). In this study,...
Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), caused by the fungal pathogen graminearum Fg ), reduces grain yield and quality due to production mycotoxin deoxynivalenol. Manual rating for incidence (percent infected heads/spikes) severity spikelets infected) estimate FHB resistance is time‐consuming subject human error. This study uses a deep learning model, combined with spectral index, provide rapid phenotyping severity. An object detection model was used localize...
Among the diseases that have potential to cause damage flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) every year, fungal disease pasmo, caused by Septoria linicola, is most important. Fungicide application and a diverse crop rotation are important strategies control this because there little variation in resistance among cultivars. However, few fungicide products available growers. Field studies were conducted at four locations Western Canada 2014, 2015, 2016 determine effect of two active ingredients...
Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by the biotrophic fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is emerging as a serious threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in many regions of North America. Genetic resistance stripe rust typically conditioned products genes that detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns and initiate cascade signalling events, culminating generation reactive oxygen species (ROS) hypersensitive response (HR) eventually suppress pathogen. Complete...
Abstract This article presents a graphical method to visually analyze the trait–yield association (TYA) patterns based on data from multi‐location, multi‐year crop variety trials, exemplified using oat trials conducted across Canada 2017 2022. Each year new set of 60–66 ( Avena sativa L.) breeding lines were tested in replicated yield at 9–11 locations, and for yield, key agronomic quality traits, crown rust scores collected all or some locations. Pearson correlation coefficient was...
CDC Esme, a high-yielding, late-maturing oilseed flax ( Linum usitatissimum L.) cultivar, was registered in 2023 by the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Esme had superior yield (106%) compared to check variety, Glas, all soil zones Northern Prairies. The 106%, 105%, and 105% long-season Black, Brown, short-season Black Grey Western Canada, respectively. has larger seeds (thousand seed weight) than that with improved quality based on iodine value...
CDC Kernen, a late maturing oilseed flax ( Linum usitatissimum L.), was registered in 2021 by the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This cultivar had significant yield advantage (107%) compared to Glas (the check) all soil zones Northern Prairies. The Kernen 115%, 98%, and 105% Black, Brown, Black Grey Western Canada, respectively. has medium (45.1%) oil content, quality (iodine value (IV) 192; alpha linolenic acid content 57.1%), equivalent seed...
Abstract Objective Humans consume low quantities of cadmium (Cd), a non-nutritive and potentially toxic heavy metal, primarily via the dietary intake grains. A trial experiment was conducted to investigate physiological developmental differences in Cd content four flax cultivars (‘AC Emerson’, ‘Flanders’, ‘CDC Bethune’, ‘AC McDuff’) as part study provide information that will assist breeding Cd-accumulating cultivars. Our objective identify varietal uptake distribution various tissues among...
Abstract Over the last two decades, several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) involved in Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance have been identified and, a few cases, resolved to underlying genes. These results not consistently translated into better FHB‐resistant wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, nor they necessarily extended our understanding of how FHB can be achieved. Despite considerable efforts, remains serious disease many wheat‐growing regions. To gain insights biology, we...
